Translation
When the dead bodies of the demons came in touch with the nectar, their bodies became strong like thunderbolts. Endowed with great strength, they got up like fiery lightning which penetrates the clouds.
They were like fiery lightning piercing clouds. Just as lightning derides the beauty of clouds, the warriors derided the beauty of the dark airplanes.

Personal Guidance
Nectar-touched corpses become invincible to thunderbolts and rise like lightning through clouds. Demonic invincibility is real but always temporary. Even invulnerability has its end when the Lord acts.
Reflection Questions
- Which 'invincible' force in your culture do you treat as permanent that the Lord could end?
- How does faith in His ultimate move steady you against current invincibility?
