Answer:

Shakespeare used the word "prevent" in his works to "anticipate" something. This is different from the way we use that word today, since for us "preventing" means "preventing" something from happening.

KengaRu [80]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The parable of a lost sheep can be found in the book of Luke from Chapter 15 verse 3-7.

The parable of the list sheep was told by Jesus to show that God's Kingdom is accessible to those that have gone astray, to sinners and everyone as a whole.

According to Jesus, heaven rejoices when a sinner repents and turns a new leaf. There is happiness when a shepherd finds his lost sheep that has gone astray and he rejoices over it even more than the other 99 sheep that didn't go astray.

The idea is that when a sheep is lost, the shepherd will go after it and also when the sheep is found, heaven rejoices.
