About This Quote
There are no miracles these days. Manna will not fall from the sky. Bombs, yes, enough to pierce our hearts, but manna, no. Unmanna is the term used by the Hebrews for food provided by God in the Old Testament.
The word “manna” also means food. The idea of manna being provided by God is quite interesting because it was so fragile that it would shatter upon being touched or if it was dropped on the ground. It was also easily robbed by birds who would take the manna down to their own nests for later consumption.
The word "manna" also has a significance in the Bible when it refers to Jesus Christ himself who was given "Manna." Jesus Christ is said to have come to earth with divine power that came from heaven itself. It's believed that Jesus came to earth with power granted by God Himself and he removes sin from humanity which makes us whole again.
