and drawing near to

Jam4 has two sentences, two powerful sentences -- as powerful as any in the whole -- and they stand right next to each other. V 7-8. The first states that resistance will cause shadows to flee. Really? Because I've tried that. But here's the thing: I'm realizing that v 7-8 aren't meant to be split; the reason the fleeing comes about from the resisting is that the resisting isn't you doing anything other than what's in 8. And what's in 8 not only drives the fleeing, but also protects the flee from returning. And speaking on the drawing near, what we just discussed yesterday, maybe I've solved it, maybe I've really solved it.
