Thorn Branch, Leaves, and Flowers
Thorn Branch, Leaves, and Flowers There are many species of thorn-bearing bushes in Palestine. Isaiah prophesies that cypress trees will replace them when God rules on Earth. Jesus, always wanting to appeal to the everyday experience of his hearers, referred to thorns as he taught. Just before the Roman soldiers crucified him, they wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head. Isa 55:13, Matt 7:16, Matt 27:29
