Bible Question: Why the need for Healing Leaves if there is no sickness in heaven or The new Jerusalem? |
Bible Answer: Hello Unction, Good question.. Hmmm slightly beyond my scope so if I may refer you to a respected commentator, John Walvoord. “The word for ‘healing’ is therapeian, from which the English word therapeutic is derived, almost directly transliterated from the Greek. Rather than meaning ‘healing,’ it should be understood as ‘health-giving,’ as the word in its root meaning has the idea of serving or ministering.” (Walvoord) keliy |
