I love the Old Testament. Remember too in Daniel the angel literally says (literally paraphrasing here) "I was delayed", he was battling demon forces. Can you guys imagine that in today's world? An angel saying, "Hey, I was on my way, and I had to stop to battle the forces of darkness, but your prayers helped." I'm not saying that if this battle is lost it's because of not enough prayers....)
Sounds like that is what happened on Wednesday. Hopefully good news on Saturday.
