Figs are what?

So we read from the book of Isaiah tonight, Chapter 38 and then 2 Kings 20. Same basic story told from two different perspectives from the people involved. (Like Mathew, Mark, Luke & John is told – same story – different people – different angles)

Reading more and studying it still, but I thought it was pretty interesting that God told King Hezekiah that he would give him 15 additional years to live (bc he was dying) but he had to follow a few directions. One of which was, and I quote, “Let them take a lump of figs, and apply if as a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.” Isaiah 38:21 (also in 2 Kings 20:7)

Interesting.

Probably more so to me as everyone else was talking about Fig newtons. LOL. Yyuuummmm BTW… But seriously though…. figs are like healthy??? as in… medicinal??? Google to the rescue (ok… duck duck go but whatever you get the point.)

Guess what….. they are…. on so many levels including some studies with cancer! No kidding… I attached one link below… Take a look at multiple sources bc figs help with digestion, diabetes, blood pressure, bacterial and yes, cancer. Hey… worth the read in my opinion. Who knew it was all in the Bible this whole time! THANK YOU Granny & Grandad for planting a fig tree so many years ago!!!

BTW…. the directions for that was in both perspectives, Isaiah and King Hezekiah…. So it is important. JS.
