gnat in Isaiah 66
NAT
This creature shows up in Isaiah 66:14: “You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 66:14
“You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gnat in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
