Bible Question: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ON THE VERGE OF A BREAKTHROUGH? |
Bible Answer: HI Job... Brother BradK, is correct in saying that Scripture doesn't say anything about a, "Breakthrough" or being on the "verge" of a Breakthrough. Forgive me for being presumptuous in my asking: But maybe you are having trouble with the word "verge"? Or perhaps it is that you are having trouble with the word "Breakthrough"? To be on the "Verge" of something, is like being on the edge of something, or just outside of something and, about to enter into it. Like a new way of thinking, or, a new way of believing. A Breakthrough, is like going through something, something that has perhaps been holding you back, and into something else. Sort of like if you are having trouble understanding something, and, suddenly you hear or read or think about it, in a new way and, suddenly, (the light goes on) you can understand it. Or perhaps you are trying to invent something, and lets say some technical problem has been holding you back from finishing the job; and then you think about it, in a new way, and then you finally figure it out. That would be a breakthrough. I hope that helps. By the way, Job, that's not a Bible question and, this is a Bible study. Hence the name: Study Bible Forum. So please keep your questions and notes focused on things on and or about the Bible in the future, okay? Thanks! John |
