    Hope For Felled Tree To Sprout From Its Stump

    The full gist of Job's reasoning in Chapter 14 is to contrast the observation that a tree can come back to life, with the question of whether a person can do the same. Job 14:10 But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?

    Hope For Felled Tree To Sprout From Its Stump

    Yes, my pic is of a Silk Tree (Albizia julibrissin) which has no problem sprouting from its stump when reduced to it. Silk Tree: Pea Family Albizia I heard a message preached on this Scripture which was intended to inspire hope in those who had suffered failure, loss, deprivation, and setback.

    Job 14:7-9 in the King James Version (KJV): "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will...

    The Mother is the origin of the harlots

    The first beast rises from sea of sinful humanity, another metaphor. The second beast rises from the evil earth of vanity. The abstract symbolism and conceptual imagery leads us to the apex of antiChristian endeavours.

    Babylon is the ungodly world, the ungodly world is Babylon, all the nations aggregate. For example: Quote: When we talk about “all the nations aggregate,” we’re referring to the combined or total sum of something across all nations. In...

    Don't blame God when you are tempted! God cannot be tempted by evil, and he doesn't use evil to tempt others.

    Jesus gave us the so-called "Lord's Prayer" to emphasise the aspect of RELIANCE ON GOD in all things, specifically for our daily sustenance, our forgiveness and forgivingness for sins, and for our freedom from wrong desires and the enemy that causes them.

    Don't blame God when you are tempted! God cannot be tempted by evil, and he doesn't use evil to tempt others.

    If you know the Bible has a verse that potentially says God is the Creator of evil, you’re referring to Isaiah 45:7. In the King James Version (KJV), it reads: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things"1. However, it’s important to note...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Rhyming . . . Romans 10: 8,9,10 & 11, tell us how we can get to heaven. Rom 10:8-11 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith, which we preach: (9) that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in...
