Daniel, interesting thought. Many scriptures speak of the breath of man and the breath of God.
(Gen 6:17) And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
All of us who are brought out of the sea to the earth, shall be destroyed, where the breath of life, notice, that is under heaven. This death of physical self must die to receive the breath of God who is Spirit.
(Job 32:
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
(Psa 33:6) By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
(Psa 104:29) Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.
(Psa 104:30) Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.
(Isa 2:22) Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
(Isa 30:27) Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire;
(Isa 30:28) and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
(Jer 4:30) And thou, when thou art made desolate, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with scarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlargest thine eyes with paint, in vain dost thou make thyself fair; thy lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.
(Jer 4:31) For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul fainteth before the murderers.
(Lam 4:19) Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens: They chased us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
(Lam 4:20) The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits; Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.
(Lam 4:21) Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz: The cup shall pass through unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
(Lam 4:22) The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: He will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will uncover thy sins.
(2Th 2:
And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;
(Rev 13:15) And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image to the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
The breath of man and beast is the physical life that sustains us, but the breath of God is in His Spirit. The breath of man will cease, but the breath of God gives life. Once the lawless one is revealed to us, then Jesus will slay him with His breath, the Spirit.
Then we realize who are the enemies of God and we cry as a daughter of Zion, and gasp for breath (spirit of God), for we faint before the murderers, of which we once were.
Not sure if I am on track or not, but nonetheless interesting.
God bless,
