1 Kings 13:18-19 He said to him, I am a prophet also as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying… It is said that a few years ago a detachment of forty Russian soldiers — part of an advanced guard of reconnoitrers — crossed the Yalu river, Korea, to an island in the middle of the river, and there changed their costume, so that they might appear as civilian settlers instead of military invaders. This is said to have been one of the many features of the invasion of Korea compelling the recent strife between Japan and Russia. So sin and error often come in friendly guise, when their intention is very aggressive and destructive. We need much Divine wisdom to recognise the cunning devices of our enemies. Parallel Verses KJV: He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. |
