THEOSISVerecundus
I will nourish My arrows with blood, and My sword shall be sustained by flesh (Deuteronomy 32:42). These represent the spiritual arrows of the Lord, which pierce the hearts of humanity and spill our spiritual lifeblood. Just as Christ Himself is described as an arrow formed by the Father's hand (See Isaiah 49:2), His apostles are similarly likened to arrows dispatched by His powerful bow across the world. It may be that the same kind of arrows were employed by Jonathan to signal to David to escape from his unyielding king (See 1 Sam. 20:35-42). Yet, it was these very arrows that brought down Saul, the wicked king who had irreparably lost the kingdom of Israel. These arrows draw strength from the blood of our disbelief and sinful desires, which is why it is stated, By the sins of my people they feed (Hosea 4:8).
