Strong's 1571: Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and


- What an image!

- Yah.weh will use the king of Assyria as a razor to shave every hair of their bodies!

- They will be completely shaved!

The Old Testament law forbade priests from shaving their heads or beards (Leviticus 21:5). In the ancient Hebrew culture, men usually had long beards. In fact, it was considered a disgrace for an adult man not to have a beard (2 Samuel 10:4-5). Men taking the Nazarite vow were not to cut their hair until the vow was completed, at which time they were to shave their heads. Regarding women shaving, Scripture says that it is disgraceful for a woman to shave her head (1 Corinthians 11:5-6) and that her hair “is a glory to her” (v. 15 KJV). Other than the hair and beard, the Bible nowhere directly mentions shaving any other part of the body.

- MOURNING!

- In Chapter one, Job cuts his hair off when he loses everything he has!

- Here it is the whole body!

- Now think about today and what is going to happen to mankind!

- It won’t be the king of Assyria!

- it will be Jesus himself coming as a warrior to make war on mankind!
