Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The original Scrolls of the Scriptures were not conveniently divided up into neat little numbered Chapters and Verses, however, there was some separation into "portions" way back in time.
Here is a lovely page I found on the Internet that explains it better!
That being said, it is evident that Ezekiel 39 is a continuation of Ezekiel 38. It describes the ending of the huge war described in Ez. 38, and some scholars say also Psalm 83 (Funny about the Chapter numbers being a reversal of each other...just sayin') While these chapters may seem unrelated to our topic of The Tabernacle, The Ark of the Covenant, and The Temple, they are essential to the reading of TOMORROW'S Chapter which is of huge importance.
While the old Ottoman Empire (also called the "Caliphate" was in decline and came to an abrupt end in 1917, The current state of warfare in the Middle East boasts that it is the "New Caliphate". The "Confederation of Countries" mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83 closely resemble each other, and also the present state of war that exists in the area today. This has caused many people to speculate and reinterpret passages that were long thought to be "Spiritual" rather than "Prophetic" in meaning. This is where we need to be careful, and not stack our own beliefs on what is in the text...but it DOES make one THINK...Doesn't it?
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
God Bless America!
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
