I am a combat veteran of the VietNam war. I have read the Bible thru 26 times, but today I noticed something from a veteran's perspective: One would think that the Jews desired to be delivered from their enemies, and that would be what they were focused on while waiting for their Messiah. But God saw (sees) things differently...."...he shall save them from their SINS...." God was more concerned about saving the people of Israel from THEMSELVES, than from their enemies. As a combat veteran, I find that way of thinking....amazing/unbelievable/inconceivable!
I spent my time in war killing my enemies and trying to save civilians from genocide! God, instead, wants to save their SOULS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I stand corrected....by God!)
