BIBLE VERSES

WAY OF DEATH

A symbol of the personality engaged in following after the transitory attractions of the lower life.

“Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death." - JER. xxi. 8.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish." - Ps. i. 6.

The perfected soul (righteous man) is described as immortal, under the figure of an everlasting fruitful tree by the waters (truth); while the desires (the ungodly) are like the chaff which the wind driveth away, that is, the husks from the heavenly harvest are dissipated by the spirit.
