nail in Isaiah 41
NAYL
This thing shows up in Isaiah 41:7: “So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smoothes with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Isaiah 41:7
“So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smoothes with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good”; and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.”
What kids can learn
When you hear nail in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
