Quote by Charles R. Swindoll
Elizabeth's barreness and advanced age--a double symbol of hopelessness--became the means by which God would announce to the world that nothing is impossible for Him.
Summary
This quote refers to Elizabeth's inability to have children and her advanced age, which are portrayed as symbols of hopelessness. However, it suggests that God used these apparent limitations as a means to demonstrate that He is capable of achieving the impossible. In this context, Elizabeth's ability to conceive a child, despite her barrenness and age, becomes a powerful announcement of God's omnipotence and the idea that there are no limits to what He can accomplish.
