Well... I forget the title/artist at the moment, but there's always the one about the ranger with the big iron on his hip.  Actually, I always liked 'Children's Lullaby' by Vertical Horizon for it's story. ------------------ |

Well if I was going to give credit to the greatist storys told in songs. The awards would have to go to Keeth Green for songs like the Protical Son... and Saviour Machine for the songs like this one... Gog: Kings of the North Son of man, set they face against him, O Gog, O Gog. O Gog, I am agianst you. I will summon every kind ot terror to cleanse the land. O Gog, I am against you. I will pour my spirit on the house of Israel O Israel, I will defend you. O Gog, walk on fire, walk on fire. Come into the land that is brought back from the sword. The spoil is oil, the spoil is oil. The tyrant needs within her walls, Kings of the North, King of the North. Rising from his lusting eyes The spoil is oil, the spoil is oil. The iron curtain steals and seals, The killing fields, The killing fields. Soungs that are right out of the Bible are normaly my favored. There are many others that I love to peaces. Still in the end the ones that give the truth plain and clear are the best in my eyes. ~Angel~ |

"My Deliverer" by DC Talk has a really great beginninig. It starts with Jesus, as a child in Egypt, listening to song the israelites used to sing when they were in captivity. I thought it was cool how they showed that Moses was a "type," a symbol, of Christ. Youth of the Nation tells a decent story. ------------------ |

THATS FUNNY MAN! Gog was a god in the old testiment. Ezekiel 39 1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. ... 18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. Thats some tidbits. I need to read the whole thing again sometime |

If your wandering how I get all these scriptures at the drop of the hat its not cuz I have the Bible memorized. I have read all of it but its a bit much to remmember. Anyways to the point. If you want to find something and you cant remmember exactly where it was try http://www.bible.com I can normaly find exactly what im looking for. Also its easy to copy/past from there. If I had to type out every scripture I through out for people I would need to get paid for it ~Angel~ |

Glad to be of help matie. Look up dragon and levithon sometime. Better yet go to the end of the book of Job. Its cool how God puts Job in his place. Go brags about how great His creation of the Dragon is. Note: some people think the translation should be allagator or some crud like that... I would rather go with the Dragon idea for now  ~Angel~ |

Rez - Tears in the rain. The story is about a guy who chases stardom and loses sight of God as a result. |

I have to say that I really don't care for this artist, but I really like this song: "Free" - Steven Curtis Chapman. He really does a good job of expressing God's grace and forgiveness of a prisioner condemned to die for his actions. The comparison of this prisioner and us in our own lives really made me think of our "prisions" and how we so desperately need God's grace. Awesome song. ------------------ |

Gog, is both a god and a place.. it is a principality (spiritual demonic entity) over an area such as the 'prince of persia that was fought for 21 days to get a message to daniel). Gog is related to meschach and Tabul.. and is physically extreme North of Israel.. ------------------ |
