gnat in Jeremiah 21
NAT
This creature shows up in Jeremiah 21:5: “I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Jeremiah 21:5
“I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.”
What kids can learn
When you hear gnat in Jeremiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Jeremiah 21:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
