The Promise of Life after Death
Acacia
A sprig of acacia is placed upon the coffin of a brother who has passed. It is a symbol of immortality. It is in Job 14:7 that we learn of the hope of a tree if it be cut down, that it will sprout again. That which grows and dies and grows again is emblematic of the acacia.
Architect of the Universe
In the begining God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
