AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Kings 19:4 But he himself traveled a day's journey into the wilderness, and he came and sat down under a juniper tree and asked [God] that he might die. He said, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers." |
Bible Question: What is the significance of the Juniper Tree? |
Bible Answer: The prophet was exhauseted and discouraged. He had been in spiritual battle. He needed time for 'refreshing' from the Lord. Ministry does that. An athlete can't run and run and run without eventually needing to 'refuel'. Our spirits are the same way. We need the Holy Spirit to refresh us in the Word. Jesus went aside to pray often. I do not believe there is any significance to the type of tree, but am open for someone who may have found otherwise in scripture. God bless |
