Apprehend the field. ~ Cahn, Jonathan. The Book of Mysteries (p. 276). Charisma House. Kindle Edition.It's not just a law enforcement term!
The second meaning is to understand
or perceive. Synonyms include
appreciate, recognize, discern, perceive,
make out, take in, realize, grasp, understand,
comprehend. So how is a field apprehended?
The field in question is in Jesus' parable,
a priceless treasure in a field.
Knowing the location a man liquidated
his assets and with every cent to his name
acquired the field. He apprehended the field,
grasped the meaning, understood.
Since the treasure is our greatest desire,
utopia, the Kingdom of Heaven,
We, too, must apprehend the field
whether what we want most is release from addiction,
peace on earth, serenity, or eternal life,
put it all on the line and apprehend the field!

ReplyDelete"The Book of Mysteries" (p. 276). And wondered what the meaning really was; because i do not think i have ever seen it b4.
