King David (+)
King David (+) is a topical listing of verses about King David and his exploits and life.
Darkness
Darkess represents blindness, not being able to correctly orient yourself to reality. It represents confusion, and inability (resting). See Light.
Light
Light is a concept of orientation. In the opposite, dark, you cannot see. In light, you see, know, recognize, benefit yourself. See Darnkess.
Lion (+)
Lion. The lion was the most awesome and dangerous wild beast in Palestine. His tawny hide blended into the golden fields and sandy wastes. Lions hid in forests and sometimes pounced from the thickets near the Jordan River (Jer. 49:19).
The Bible contains many references to lions. Daniel miraculously survived a night in a lions’ den (Daniel 6). Samson and David killed lions singlehandedly (Judg. 14:5-6; 1 Sam. 17:34-37). Kings hunted lions for sport. According to (Ezekiel 19:1-9), lions were also captured with pits and nets.

Affliction (+)
Affliction
Syn: Chastening; Grief; Pain; Sorrow; Tribulation; Trouble.
Act. 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Adultery (+)
Adultery is a betrayal of the marriage commitment between two people, when one has a romantic relationship often involved in physical sex, with somebody else.
Eternal Life
Eternal Life is the concept of living forever, in heaven with God in pleasure. Note that this is used in various peculiar ways, and some notions are not included. All humans will live forever, somewhere. Those who trust is the Savior will live forever in Heaven with God, and those who do not, will live forever in hell. The Bible never gives the label “eternal life” to those in hell. That is because eternal life is an infinite time in heaven, and it is in the good graces and pleasure of God, but it is also a way of living. It is entirely correct to say that the redeemed on earth still have eternal life.
Note that Universalists take the position that hell has a certain time limit, and after that time limit, God will eventually let them into heaven. That is unbiblical
