Zechariah 8:3
‘Thus says the Lord: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain.’
Time for 100 to 1 for every soldier lost. Gett’er done Israel.
Not being critical here. I am honestly confused by the ranks vs ages listed. In the US Army, it MIGHT be possible to be SGT by 20. Can someone provide some education?
