still arguing about the Modern Day English word; "languages". And The "Deceiver" is amaze. He does not even have to deceive or even waste his time among "Millions and Millions" the king of Persian do not have to detain anyone on that front. he can use his forces on other fronts. Where the Battle is Hot. And more important in destroying and discouraging, wounding Warriors who are in the heat of The BATTLE.
And here is another reflection of a "Biblical Motif" Reflection:
These are the names of David’s mighty men:
Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the Three.
He wielded his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed AT ONE TIME.
Next in command was
Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he went with David to taunt the Philistines who had gathered for battle at Pas-dammim.
The men of Israel retreated, BUT Eleazar STOOD His Ground and struck the Philistines
until his hand grew weary and stuck to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day.
Then the troops returned to him,
but only to plunder the dead.
And after him was
Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines had banded together near a field full of lentils,
Israel’s troops fled from them. But
Shammah took
HIS STAND in the middle of the field,
defended it, and
struck down the Philistines. So
the LORD brought about a great victory.
"Now
Abishai, the brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three,and
HE LIFTED HIS SPEAR AGAINST THREE HUNDRED MEN, KILLED THEM, and won a name
along with the Three. Was he not more honored than the Three?
And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three"
And
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel,
a man of many exploits. He struck down
two champions of Moab, and on
a snowy day he went down
into a pit and killed a lion. He also killed an Egyptian,
a huge man. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand,
Benaiah went against him
with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with
his own spear."
All of GOD's battles in the Old Testament came alive to me and the Spirit of God place me in those battles in Living Color over 40 years ago as I read them. Types and shadows "New Testament Warfare. only for GOD Warriors, Who must put on the "WHOLE ARMOR of GOD" and be SKILLED with a Sword and Shield for The BATTLE, and The Battle is of The LORD. And HE is The Commander and Our Chief" And the Weapons of Our Warfare are real. and deadly. and many times we must die. No Volunteers here, everyone of us been "Drafted".
And we do not shoot our own. We train. And we train hard! Skilled in words and "languages". and we all are "Gifted" by GOD. And so was each Tribe of the 12.
(Ecclesiastes 9)BSB
"I saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all".
No telling what GOD will do. I keep my eyes open. we look both ways when we cross the street. Even if the light is green, we walk slowly, stop and look and then we roll.
