What are the ‘arrows’ of the Lord? In Deut 32:18 God says to the Israelites; You forsook the Creator who begot you and ceased to care for the God who brought you to birth. Deut 32:23-24 Therefore, I shall heap disasters upon you and expend My arrows of hunger, plague and bitter pestilence. Wild beasts will attack and snakes will poison you. Also in Job 6:4 The arrows of the Almighty have found their mark in me and my spirit has been poisoned.
