"If you want to see if a side effect shows up two years later, that takes two years." - Bill Gates
Many times, God will use the things of nature to teach us his precepts in the word of God. For example:
Proverbs 6:6 "¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:"
Earlier, I was reading an article about how poisonous snakes hunt their prey, and noted these words:
"... many vipers will bite-and-release in order to reduce the risk of injury to themselves if the animal retaliates."
That is to say, poisonous snakes will bite and immediately withdraw itself from the prey to let the venom take effect. The prey will live for awhile after the venom was injected, that is, until the venom creeps in and eventually takes the life out of it.
"If you want to see if a side effect shows up two years later, that takes two years." - Bill Gates quote, BBC Breakfast, 2020.
