  • Out of fear for his life, David fled from the
    wicked King Saul to his dearest friend, Jonathan
    (1 Samuel 201).
  • Jonathan, certain that David was mistaken about
    his fathers intentions, sought to calm Davids
    anxieties (1 Samuel 203).

deliver his life from the power of the grave?
(Psalm 8948) For I know that thou wilt
bring me to death, and to the house appointed for
all living. (Job 2023) And as it is
appointed unto men once to die (Hebrews 927)

Death Is a Short Step!!
James 413,14
Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will
go to such and such a city, spend a year there,
buy and sell, and make a profit whereas you do
not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a
little time and then vanishes away.

sorrowful suffering with the wicked of all ages
ought to give us pause. (Eccles 72 Psalms
9012).
