DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greek Word Studies delves into the concept of 'skandalon,' originally
referring to the movable part of a trap that closes on its prey when
touched, symbolizing any entanglement or hindrance. In Scripture,
'skandalon' is used metaphorically to represent anything that leads one
into error or sin, such as stumbling blocks or offenses. The term is
used 15 times in the Bible, emphasizing the importance of avoiding
actions or teachings that may cause others to stumble or fall into sin.

Cyrus the king was compelled to fulfill the vision of Jeremiah by making
a decree declaring that Jehovah had bidden him rebuild Jerusalem and
invite her captives to return to their native home. In this way
Jeremiah's faith was vindicated and Jehovah's prophecy gloriously
fulfilled, as faith ever will be honored. Oh, for the faith that in the
dark present and the darkest future shall dare to subscribe the
evidences and seal up the documents for the time of waiting and then
begin to testify to its hope like the prophet of Anathoth! The word
Anathoth has a beautiful meaning: echoes.

So faith is the echo of God, and He always gives the echo to faith as he
answers it in glorious fulfillment.

Let our faith echo also the brave claim of the ancient prophet and take
our full inheritance with his glorious shout, "0 Lord, Thou art the God
of all flesh, is there anything too hard for [thee]?" Back like an echo
will come the heavenly assurance to our hearts, "For the God of all
flesh: nothing is too hard."
