SIDDIM, WHICH IS THE SALT SEA.
TWELVE YEARS THEY SERVED
CHEDORLAOMER, AND IN THE
THIRTEENTH YEAR THEY REBELLED.
AND IN THE FOURTEENTH YEAR
CAME CHEDORLAOMER, AND THE
KINGS THAT WERE WITH HIM, AND
SMOTE THE REPHAIMS IN
ASHTEROTH KARNAIM, AND THE
ZUZIMS IN HAM, AND THE EMINS IN
SHAVEH KIRIATHAIM, AND THE
HORITES IN THEIR MOUNT SEIR,
UNTO ELPARAN, WHICH IS BY THE
WILDERNESS. AND THEY RETURNED,
AND CAME TO ENMISHPAT, WHICH IS
KADESH, AND SMOTE ALL THE
COUNTRY OF THE AMALEKITES, AND
ALSO THE AMORITES, THAT DWELT IN
HAZEZONTAMAR. AND THERE WENT
OUT THE KING OF SODOM, AND THE
KING OF GOMORRAH, AND THE KING
OF ADMAH, AND THE KING OF
ZEBOIIM, AND THE KING OF BELA
(THE SAME IS ZOAR;) AND THEY
JOINED BATTLE WITH THEM IN THE
VALE OF SIDDIM; WITH
CHEDORLAOMER THE KING OF ELAM,
AND WITH TIDAL KING OF NATIONS,
AND AMRAPHEL KING OF SHINAR,
AND ARIOCH KING OF ELLASAR;
FOUR KINGS WITH FIVE.
AND THE VALE OF SIDDIM WAS FULL
OF SLIMEPITS; AND THE KINGS OF
SODOM AND GOMORRAH FLED, AND
FELL THERE; AND THEY THAT
REMAINED FLED TO THE MOUNTAIN.
AND THEY TOOK ALL THE GOODS OF
SODOM AND GOMORRAH, AND ALL
THEIR VICTUALS, AND WENT THEIR
WAY. AND THEY TOOK LOT, ABRAM'S
BROTHER'S SON, WHO DWELT IN
SODOM, AND HIS GOODS, AND
DEPARTED. AND THERE CAME ONE
THAT HAD ESCAPED, AND TOLD
ABRAM THE HEBREW; FOR HE DWELT
IN THE PLAIN OF MAMRE THE
colonies.
Well, the party is OVER, but verse 6
says:
World War I was A WORLD WAR,
involving more than 30 nations. Then,
just a few years later began World War
II, the deadliest war in human history,
with more than 50 nations involved
and nearly 15 million military
casualties, and over 38 million civilian
casualties. Remember now, this
nation belongs to Almighty GOD!
Prayer groups formed all over this
country as well as in the United
Kingdom and France. My birth year
was 1936, so I remember things about
World War II. And now that I'm 87
years old, I am a witness to all
subsequent wars since then. BUT GOD!
Psalm 144:1 says, "BLESSED be The
LORD my strength which teacheth my
hands to war, and my fingers to fight."
So what's the bottom line? America
seems to be in trouble, and she is.
Israel is at war now. But, wars have
never stopped since Genesis 14:1-17:
6 AND YE SHALL HEAR OF WARS AND
RUMOURS OF WARS: SEE THAT YE BE
NOT TROUBLED: FOR ALL THESE
THINGS MUST COME TO PASS, BUT
THE END IS NOT YET.
AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE DAYS
OF AMRAPHEL KING OF SHINAR,
ARIOCH KING OF ELLASAR,
CHEDORLAOMER KING OF ELAM, AND
TIDAL KING OF NATIONS; THAT THESE
MADE WAR WITH BERA KING OF
SODOM, AND WITH BIRSHA KING OF
GOMORRAH, SHINAB KING OF
ADMAH, AND SHEMEBER KING OF
ZEBOIIM, AND THE KING OF BELA,
WHICH IS ZOAR. ALL THESE WERE
JOINED TOGETHER IN THE VALE OF
