Question

What does 'the deep calling to the deep' mean?

Answer

And as long as there’s something on the inside’s telling you that it will do it, there’s bound to be something there to respond to it: The deep calling to the deep. As I’ve often said: “Before the fin was on the fish’s back, there’s a water, first, for him to swim in, or he wouldn’t have had that fin.” If there’s a deep in here calling, there’s got to be a deep to respond to it. It’s here, when I first started out in the ministry, I was reading on something, had a little baby that eat the erasers off of a pencil, and the—the pedal off of a bicycle. When they took the little fellow in to examine him, they found out that his little body needed sulfur, and sulfur’s in rubber. That babies body originally came out of the earth, where sulfur is. And if there’s something in here calling for sulfur, there’s got to be a sulfur out there, first, to respond to this call, or there wouldn’t be any call for the sulfur.
