We need to hold this image, in a spiritual sense-
how ethiopian warriors use their personal two spears:
1) a shorter one to use to throw, when hunting and attacking, and
2) the longer one to use to grip, when holding and defending ones ground and position.
To me spiritual spears- are:
1) receiving a remission of your sins, and
2) retaining a remission of your sins. As discussed in...
Mosiah chapter 4.
Receiving and Retaining are each ones long and short spears, helping us through life's journey. We receive one at Baptism, and the other by partaking of the sacrament each week.
Excellent analogy, we can use these spiritual weapobs to fight off the firey darts of the evil one.
