A Life Where the Impossible Becomes Possible (3) part 2
Bible passage: Zechariah 4:1-7
“1. Then the angel who talked with me returned and wakened me, as a man is wakened from his sleep. 2. He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with seven channels to the lights. 3. Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left." 4. I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" 5. He answered, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I replied. 6. So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. 7. "What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'" "
I have a few Cannons. Don’t be alarmed when I say that I have a few cannons.
The "cannons" I’m talking about are not the cannons used in war. Instead, I’m referring to the "canon," which means the Bible. The words for "cannon" and "canon" are almost the same in English, pronounced as "cannon" and "canon." Since they sound alike, I tried using the expression "I have a few canons."
Both words come from the same root, derived from the Greek word "kanne," which means "a hollow reed." It makes sense that a cannon, which has a hollow barrel through which the bomb is fired, would derive from a word meaning "hollow reed." But why does the term "canon" come from the same root?
At that time, they didn’t have precise measuring tools like today’s rulers, so reeds were used as measuring instruments.
