In this week’s podcast, we will talk about Heavenly Host University and what angels know. If you remember, we recently completed an episode on what angels are learning as they observe the Church. Angels are a fascination to all, especially when you hear stories like the following. Elizabeth Elliot told about her father’s experiences with angelic helpers: “My father, when he was a small boy, was climbing on an upper story of a house that was being built. He walked to the end of a board that was not nailed at the other end, and it slowly began to tip. He knew that he was doomed, but inexplicably the board began to tip the other way as though a hand had pushed it down again. He always wondered if it was an angel’s hand. Then there was a story about a train carrying Queen Victoria. It was a British express train. And as it raced through the night, its powerful headlamp speared the black darkness ahead. Suddenly the engineer saw a startling sight. Revealed in the engine’s headlights beam was a mysterious figure in a black cloak standing in the middle of the tracks and waving its arms. The engineer grabbed the brakes and brought the train to a grinding halt. He and his fellow train crew members climbed out to see what had stopped them. But they could find no trace of the strange figure. On a hunch, he walked a few yards further up the tracks. Suddenly he stopped and stared into the fog in horror. The bridge had been washed out in the middle and had toppled into a swollen stream. The train would have plunged into the stream if he had not heeded the ghostly figure. While the bridge and the tracks were being repaired, the crew searched more for the strange flagman. But not until they got to London did they solve the mystery. At the engine’s headlamp base, the engineer discovered a huge dead moth. He looked at it a moment, then on impulse wet its wings and pasted it to the glass of the lamp. Climbing back into his cab, he switched on the lamp and saw the “flagman” in the beam. He knew the answer now: the moth had flown into the beam, seconds before the train was due to reach the washed-out bridge. It appeared to be a phantom figure waving its arms in the fog. When Queen Victoria was told of the strange happening, she said, “I’m sure it was no accident. It was God’s way of protecting us.” 1 Once again, angels are our focus. The Real Scoop on What Angels Know about You that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.
