And the Isaiah passage gives another context, being the earliest passage mentioned so far and used as a metaphor for prophecy. And the sword-like mouth is the "servant" Israel. <br /><br />IT all reminds me of a passage in Hamlet: "I shall speak daggers to her / and yet will use none" (or, that is how I remember the passage).Jared Calawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380681998833566514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006479003534298455.post-51792749924255423422009-08-01T17:32:19.389-04:002009-08-01T17:32:19.389-04:00See also Rev 1:16; 2:16 and Isa 49:2.
