Three Steps to Hell
Robert Walker
Exodus 14:29
INTRODUCTION
Let your imagination loose for a moment and try to capture this devastating scene. The world's most powerful army is now silent. The vultures are feasting on the mountains of decaying bodies.

He was proclaimed to be a King and a ruler. But do you know what he ended up as? A shepherd, tending to his father in law's sheep. He was to be a hero b ...
