29. As the "fire" consumes the "chaff," [ :- ], so "My word" will consume the false prophets ( Matthew 3:12 ; Hebrews 4:12 ). "My word" which is "wheat" [ Hebrews 4:12- : ], that is, food to the true prophet and his hearers, is a consuming "fire," and a crushing "hammer" ( Hebrews 4:12- : ) to false prophets and their followers ( Hebrews 4:12- : ). The Word of the false prophets may be known by its promising men peace in sin. "My word," on the contrary, burns and breaks the hard-hearted ( Hebrews 4:12- : ). The "hammer" symbolizes destructive power ( Jeremiah 50:23 ; Nahum 2:1 , Margin ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-30" class="com-number"
