>>10936921This news about Lebanon blows my mind, because, once again 2 pages in my Bible popped ito my mind, bringing me to Isaiah 37-46, heavily centered in Jerusalem, Assyria & Lebanon:
>"By the hand of your messengers you have reproached the Lord, and you have said, By the multitude of my chariotsI am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof; and I will enter into the height of its border, to the forest of Carmel."▪Why those chapters came to me I do not know, nor do I know if its optics have changed over time...
...however, this is how it ends:
>"Even to your old age I am He; and even to your grey hairs I will endure. I have made and I will sustain; even I will carry and deliver...My righteousness is near; it shall not be far off, my salvation shall not tarry..."▪ that is a message full of hope, fwiw.
