The parallels are amazing!

A 7-year-old boy went back into a burning home to save his baby sister

(CNN)A 7-year-old boy named Eli saved his baby sister's life when he jumped into her room through a window to rescue her from a fire that destroyed his family's home.

It was a typical night at the Davidson household in New Tazewell, Tennessee, on December 8. Chris and Nicole Davidson fed their three children dinner, tucked them into bed and were asleep by 8:30 p.m.

Hours later, Nicole Davidson woke up to the smell of smoke. Within minutes, the family's home was up in flames -- and 22-month-old Erin Davidson was trapped in her room.

While the couple was able to grab their 2-year-old son Elijah and Eli, who has been fostered by the family for nearly a year, Erin's bedroom was surrounded by fire.

"The smoke and fire was so thick there was no way I could get to her," Chris Davidson told CNN. "We went outside to get to her from the window, but there was nothing for me to stand on to reach up there. So I picked up Eli, who went through the window and was able to grab her from her crib."

"We couldn't be more proud of Eli," Davidson said. "He did something a grown man wouldn't do."

And he did it just in time.

By the time 20 firefighters arrived on the scene, the house was already engulfed in flames. By the next day, "nothing was left," New Tazewell Fire Chief Josh Miracle told CNN.

"I thought I couldn't do it, but then I said, 'I got her, dad,'" Eli told CNN. "I was scared, but I didn't want my sister to die."

The Davidsons have fostered 34 children, including Eli, and adopted two others -- Erin and Elijah. Both Nicole and Chris Davidson are also former firefighters.

Now that the family is starting over "from scratch" -- impacted by job loss due to the pandemic, the loss of Nicole's grandfather and the fire -- a GoFundMe was launched recently to help support them.

"We lost everything that we have ever had," Chris Davidson said. "Our entire lives were in that home. Our three cars were also damaged in the fire."

"It's devastating. We have nothing," he said. 

Fox News added an important detail to Eli's testimony:

"Dad busted the window and then I said, ‘I can’t do it,’ like two times, and then I said, ‘I got her dad’. And when we went down there I said ‘I was scared but I didn’t want my sister to die’,” Eli said.

In case you didn't see the spiritual nuances, I will leave a hint:

Chris = our Father in heaven

Eli (translated, "my God") = the Lord our God born to die, risking all, going deep into the devil's territory for the love that He had for His children

Erin = You and me being snatched from sin and Satan and hell

The house that burned to the ground = our Father's house, the kingdom of God that Satan defiled beyond all recognition

The two times Eli got scared and said, "I can’t do it" = the three times Jesus said something similar. "And He went a little farther, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt." ( Matt. 26:39,42).

The GoFundMe new house and life = the new heaven and new Earth wherein dwelleth righteous and peace. "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Rev. 21:3,4).
