Israel, The Faithful Witness,
Israel, The Informers,
Israel, The Whistle-Blowers,
Reports When They Witnessed The Implosions, Or Self-Destructions, Of Entire Armies :
(2 Chronicles 20:21 KJV)
"And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD,
and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army,
and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever."
(2 Chronicles 20:22 KJV)
"And when they began to sing and to praise,
the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir,
which were come against Judah; and they were smitten."
(2 Chronicles 20:23 KJV)
"For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir,
utterly to slay and destroy them:
and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir,
every one helped to destroy another."
(2 Chronicles 20:24 KJV)
"And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness,
they looked unto the multitude, and, behold,
they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped."
The Reader's Initial Reaction To This Account Might Be
To Try To Blame The LORD God Or Israel For What Happened In This Account...
HOWEVER,
- The Bible Tells Us That God Has "No Pleasure In The Death Of The Wicked"
- And The Bible Tells Us That God Had Commanded Israel To WARN Other People
- Ezekiel 3:17-18 & 33:7-8
Realize That IF The LORD Somehow Wanted This Tragedy To Happen
THEN He Would Not Have Commanded Israel To Publish Countless Copies Of The Bible
That Let Everyone Know That Such Self-Destructions Are Even Possible.
Israel Is Not To Blame, Either, Because They Have Gone Through Very Much Trouble
For Publishing These Accounts Of What They Saw -
And They Have Been TARGETED Down Through The Years For Informing Others.
Here Is Another Account Of When Israel Witnessed The Implosion Of Another Army :
(1 Samuel 14:19 KJV)
"And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest,
that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased:
and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand."
(1 Samuel 14:20 KJV)
"And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves,
and they came to the battle:
and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow,
and there was a very great discomfiture."
The Old Testament Is Clear That Self-Destructions Of Entire Armies Is Possible :
(Ezekiel 38:21 KJV)
"And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD:
every man's sword shall be against his brother."
Israel, The Faithful Witness, Has "Gone Out On A Limb" In Publishing These Accounts.
And Often, It Is Said That What Happened Was Due To The LORD's Doings.
However, We Should Be Grateful To The LORD For Commanding Israel To Inform
All Of Us "Common" Citizens That Such Things Are Even Possible.
By Accurately Telling What They Witnessed, There Is Hope
That Future Generations Will Avoid Having The Same Thing Happen To Them, Also :
(Judges 7:20 KJV)
"And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers,
and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal:
and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon."
(Judges 7:21 KJV)
"And they stood every man in his place round about the camp:
and all the host ran, and cried, and fled."
(Judges 7:22 KJV)
"And the three hundred blew the trumpets,
and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host:
and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath."
What Is Not Specifically Mentioned In These Accounts,
But IS Mentioned In Other Places Of The Bible,
Is A Drug Element - Affecting The Actions Of People.
The Fact That Mind-Altering Drugs Can Cause Self-Destruction Is Shown Here
In The Judeo-Christian Bible :
There May Be In Our World Some Military Leaders Who Hope To
Create Better Soldiers Through The Use Of Mind-Altering Medications :
(Joel 2:1 KJV)
"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble:
for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;"
(Joel 2:2 KJV)
"A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness,
as the morning spread upon the mountains:
a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like,
neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
An Unusually Obedient Army :
(Joel 2:7 KJV)
"They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war;
and they shall march every one on his ways,
and they shall not break their ranks:"
(Joel 2:8 KJV)
"Neither shall one thrust another;
they shall walk every one in his path:
and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded."
(Joel 2:9 KJV)
"They shall run to and fro in the city;
they shall run upon the wall,
they shall climb up upon the houses;
they shall enter in at the windows like a thief."
However,
IF Mind-Altering Drugs Are Used To Heighten An Army's Obedience To Military Orders
THEN That Army Will Be Vulnerable To Self-Destruction
IF Their Opponents Can Manage To Tell That Army What To Do.
It Seems That This Is Already Understood By People We Didn't Know About,
Because The People In The Following Accounts Already Know To Flee / Run Away
At The Mere Approach Of Their Opponents.
(Leviticus 26:8 KJV)
"And five of you shall chase an hundred,
and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight:
and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword."
(Deuteronomy 32:30 KJV)
"How should one chase a thousand,
and two put ten thousand to flight,
except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?"
It Makes Sense That,
If Nation Israel Were To Be Obeying God's Commandments That FORBID
The Practice Of Witchcraft That Involves Drugs (See: Deuteronomy 18:9-14)
While The Other Surrounding Nations Would Still Be Using Drugs
To Practice Witchcraft
Then Israel Would Be Better Off, Because They Would Have Not Lost Their Autonomy
Due To Being Under The Influence Of Mind-Altering Substances.
Hopefully America Will Obey The Torah Laws That Forbid Drug-Enabled Witchcraft
So That She Can "Confirm Her Soul In SELF-CONTROL"
As Is Spoken Of In The Old Hymn, "America The Beautiful".

Another Potential Problem That Israel Alerts Us To Is
That Military Leaders Can Develop A Calloused Attitude Toward Lower-Level Soldiers,
To Where Those Military Leaders Exploit The Low-Level Soldiers For Mere Entertainment :
(2 Samuel 2:13 KJV)
"And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out,
and met together by the pool of Gibeon:
and they sat down,
the one on the one side of the pool,
and the other on the other side of the pool."
(2 Samuel 2:14 KJV)
"And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us.
And Joab said, Let them arise."
(2 Samuel 2:15 KJV)
"Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin,
which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul,
and twelve of the servants of David."
(2 Samuel 2:16 KJV)
"And they caught every one his fellow by the head,
and thrust his sword in his fellow's side;
so they fell down together:
wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon."
It Would Be A Terrible Tragedy If Any Military Leaders Were Ever Able To Force Drugs
To Heighten The Obedience Of Low-Level Soldiers To Military Orders,
But Then Exploited Those Low-Level Soldiers For Nothing More Than Mere Entertainment.
Thanks To The Judeo-Christian Bible, We Are Made Aware Of Such Possibilities.
