gnat in Isaiah 13
NAT
This creature shows up in Isaiah 13:5: “They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Yahweh, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 13:5
“They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Yahweh, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gnat in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 13:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
