    Ju.20 "As One Man" (2 of 2)

    "And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And theLordsaid, Judah shall go up first(v.18)". In v.21 we read that they were thrashed by the tribe of Benjamin.Third time God answers them. "And the children of Israel enquired of theLord, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,/ And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And theLordsaid, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand(27-28).

    But for 600 men of valor from the tribe of Benjamin who sought refuge in a cave others were killed and their towns were torched. "But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months./ And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.(v.47-48)"

    Heresies breed result of which are house of Ophrah, of Micah and the one set up by the tribe of Dan. These may be megachurches but not sanctioned by God. It is thus in the latter days. " Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is."(1 Co.3:13)".
