I’m always amazed that how many times I read a passage from the Bible, I discovered something new or notice a different aspect. I re-read recently the story of Jacob sleeping in a place he later called Bethel and seeing angels ascending and descending on a ladder reaching up to heaven. This is a picture children love to hear as they can imagine the angels going up and down the ladder and even make models of the ladder and the angels. The descending angels are often depicted up-side-down.
I read this passage again but this time it seemed to have greater significance; in Genesis 28:13 God was was speaking from the top of the ladder. It stands to reason that He must have been there as He spoke. The angels and the ladder are important but the most important fact is that God was there speaking to Jacob.
