East Wind:
the wind coming from the east (Job 27:21; Isa 27:8, etc.). Blight caused by this wind, "thin ears" (Gen 41:6); the withered "gourd" (Jon 4:8). It was the cause and also the emblem of evil (Eze 17:10; 19:12; Hsa 13:15). In Palestine this wind blows from a burning desert, and hence is destitute of moisture necessary for vegetation.

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
