The Angels of Mons: A Miracle Story

from Miracles in the 21st Century · host 3ABN Australia Radio

Did angels appear in WWI? Dr. John Ashton explores the stunning history of a national day of prayer that brought undeniable divine intervention. Early in the First World War, a heavily outnumbered wing of the British Army found itself completely trapped by an advancing German force in Mons, Belgium. War correspondents back home deemed the situation entirely hopeless, writing headlines that annihilation was inevitable. In response to the crisis, a massive call went out across the British Empire for a national day of prayer. Millions gathered in churches and homes to plead for safety. The very next day, August 23rd, the German army inexplicably halted their advance and began retreating, opening a gateway for the British forces to escape. In this episode, you will hear:• The tactical crisis facing the British Army in Belgium during WWI.• The historical impact of a unified nation turning to God in prayer.• Captive German reports detailing a massive, phantom army advancing on them.• How public miracle accounts confirm the presence of the intervening God of the Bible.
