THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE . . . GOD PERSISTENTLY
STACKED THE DECK AGAINST HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE
JUST SO HE COULD SHOW
HIS GLORY IN THEIR BEHALF.
—THE RED SEA—PHAROAH AND HIS ARMY DROWNED.
—THE FOUNDING OF ISRAEL—IMPOSSIBLE BUT FOR GOD.
That little plot of land in your satellite pic . . . surrounded by enemies of great wealth, numbers and land . . . eager to destroy them off the face of the planet.
God loves to pour water on the sacrifice on the altar and to fill the ditch around the altar . . .
then to send fire from heaven that consumed the sacrifice, the water and even the stones of the altar, IIRC.
