After Adam fell, God placed a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life(Genesis 3:24).
Following map from the dream of Lehi, we take a part of map each time, then it will become a Chinese oracle drawing.
This oracle is identified as "a kind of weapon of ancient days". With a flaming sword in the drawing, actually, "the weapon from God" is more accurate.
Most drawings filed under this character, in the oracle database, were shown toward left side.
The footprint upward to the tree of life was stopped by this weapon. This oracle drawing means "defence, weapon, arm".
"A flaming sword which turned every way" is clearly shown in this oracle drawing. It is also filed under the same character as above.
This is the drawing of man.
When people were condemned, "the God's weapon" was used to destroy them. This oracle drawing means "punitive expedition".
Of course, this kind of destruction must be commanded by God, and there were several examples written in ancient Chinese books. This character was used to decribed to destroy the people who committed serious sins.
