"Sometimes the deepest knowledge of God comes from those who had to trust in Him the most"
What does this book's title, "Can't See the Forest for the Trees" imply? A simple answer is:
- The 'Forest' is symbolic of God's Plan, revealed in Bible scripture with all of its mystery to be understood and fulfilled with steadfast belief, faith and trust in the power of the Holy Trinity: God (the Father), Jesus Christ (the Son), and the Holy Spirit (one for all, all for one). God's Plan is a work in progress nearing fulfillment.
- The 'Trees' are symbolic of obstacles, like gullibility, false teaching, false prophesy, false doctrine, apostasy, hate, lying, deceit, evil, love-of-money, blind speculation and the like; all of which are growing rampant in the United States.
- The message reveals Spiritual Blindness as a curse that God has imposed upon His Church for their lack of true faith in Him (not unlike the Israelites), as they turn away from the New Covenant Law, blindly accepting unsuspected guidance from Satan, to employ worldly ways and promote apostasy. By misguided faith some may be unprotected by the "Armor of God", and their failing to cultivate the Fruit of the Spirit makes matters worse.
The author is hopeful that his book will bring awareness of spiritual blindness, to summon a repentant reaction for 'restoration' of religious understanding and direction in line with God's real purpose.
