INTERPRETATION OF IMAGERY
Andrew is always described as Peters brother, but it was Andrew who told Peter about Jesus and they were the first two called. “ Come & See” it was Andrew who told Jesus of the 5 loaves & fishes.
A nation that declares & wants “every corner” covered by the Blood of the Cross. 5 is number for grace.
Heard “Friend of God” and was seeing hands shaking but not, then realized I needed to look at ASL!
