A little History
What is the meaning of true faith, in our hearts? The heart at birth in which the soul, faith is born. It is the heart that is reborn in faith in my regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
Above all, taking up the shield of faith, beyond and above all measure.
The Roman soldier and warrior of ancient times had two types of shields. One smaller round shield, called aspis, was used mostly for display and was about the side of a round large table lamp, the aspis shield is hooked to the loin belt and was in parades held after the victory of the war.
Aspis Victory Shield
The aspis measured at least 0.9 meters (2 ft 11 in) in diameter and weighed about 7.3 kilograms (16 lb), and it was about 25–38 millimeters (0.98–1.50 in) thick.
The Scutum shield
The Scutum shield was a 10-kilogram large rectangle curved shield made from three sheets of wood glued together and covered with canvas and leather, usually with a spindle-shaped boss along the vertical length of the shield. The best surviving example, from Dura-Europos in Syria, was 105.5 centimeters high, 41 centimeters across, and 30 centimeters deep, with a thickness of 5-6mm. some sources prove it weighed about 5.8 kg to 6.8 kg
A battle formation that made excellent use of the great scuta was the testudo or tortoise formation, in which soldiers would gather close and align their shields both in front and on top.
This protected the group from frontal attacks and projectiles launched from above.
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
What are spiritual fiery darts? Exactly Meaning? and how do you repair your ARMOR
