In 2 Kings 13:14-17 we find that, Joash – the king of Israel, took a bow and some arrows as Elisha told him.
And the 17th verse:
Elisha said, “Open the east window,” and he did so. Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he did so. Elisha said, “This arrow symbolizes the victory the Lord will give you over Syria. You will annihilate Syria in Aphek!”
However, later, in verses 18 and 19 we find the second part of this episode:
Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows,” and he did so. He told the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” He struck the ground three times and stopped.
The prophet got angry at him and said, “If you had struck the ground five or six times, you would have annihilated Syria! But now, you will defeat Syria only three times.”
What’s the meaning of this story? Where should the king know from that he must strike the ground five or six times?

Gerardo de Dominicis Jan Dixon Sykes your take pls

Gerardo de Dominicis I think you are alone on this one brother I believe even Jan Dixon Sykes and Bob Wizenhut WILL agree that in this country in the 60s peaceful protest also bothered federal government but we DID overcome one day…

It’s called civil disobedience. You know ahead of time you will be arrested and do it anyway. Hippies did that a lot.

I wonder if these same men of faith have locks on their doors or would object to someone coming into their homes uninvited?

I’ll say this I run into so many people that’s are in an uproar about this caravan.and the very same have illegals working for them I work in the construction industry and the same ones doing most of the complaining are the ones that hire illegal immigrants and pay them half the price they do every one else and then moan about the families having to get government assistance. Including Trump there is no telling how many undocumented workers that are being used in his different real estate developments
Guest;
Larry Dale Steele that someone in this day and age of information would infact try to deny the Polish workers like it was never done is just sad It is a fact. Could the Caravan be used for the wall? – these people are here to look for work after all
Guest;
I’m sure they probably could be .. but there is so much time and planning to be done I don’t see a wall being built soon enough that they would still be there

Our hopes are still up. Trump is doing a great job indeed … in his own way 🙂 Nelson Banuchi
