Effects of the fall

Effects of the fall – Short lived. Life is compared to:

A Pilgrimage

Genesis 7:9 

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

Water spilled on the ground

2 Samuel 14:14 

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

Wind

Job 7:7

 O remembers that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

A passing cloud

Job 7:9 

As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

A weaver’s shuttle

Job 7:6 

My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

A shadow

Job 14:2 

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

Green herbs that wither

Psalms 37:2 

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Vanity

Psalms 144:4 

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
