The Word of GOD Assembled; GODWAY:
READ the Word ( 2CHR 20:5-30)
2CH 20:5 Then Jehoshaphat [Heb.=Jehovah is Judge] stood up in the assembly of Judah [Heb.=Praised] and Jerusalem [City of Peace] at the temple of the LORD in the front of the new courtyard [6] and said:
"O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you. [7] O our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham [Heb.=Father of a multitude; exalted Father] your friend? [8] They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your Name, saying, [9] `If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.'
2CH 20:10 "But now here are men from Ammon [Heb.=A people; son of Lot by his youngest daughter; Ge 19:38 Ben-Ammi vs 30-38], Moab [Heb.=Seed; The grandson of Lot by his eldest daughter]and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel [Heb. Yisra'el=He strives with GOD and prevails] to invade when they came from Egypt [gift of the nile; water from the river]; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them. [11] See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance. [12] O our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you."
2CH 20:13 All the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, stood there before the LORD.
2CH 20:14 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel [Heb.=GOD sees] son of Zechariah [Heb=Jehovah remembers], the son of Benaiah [Heb. Benayah=Jehovah has built], the son of Jeiel [Heb' ye'I'el=God has gathered], the son of Mattaniah [Heb. Mattanyaha=gift from the Lord], a Levite [decendants of Levi, Heb. Lewi=joined] Heband descendant of Asaph [a saf; A Levite of the Gershonite family, appointed over the service of praise /HALLELUJAH/ in the time of David and Solomon; his 12 psalms 50, 73-83 have in common 'GOD as Judge'(Ps 50:3-4; 75:8; 76:8,9); a call to true spirituality reminiscent of the prophets (50:7,14,15,22,23; 81:8-10); the use of History to teach spiritual lessons (Ps 78); and the Lord as shepherd (Ps 74:1; 77:20; 79:13; 80:1)] , as he stood in the assembly.
2CH 20:15 He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat [Heb. je-hosh a-fat=Jehovah is Judge], and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: `Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. [16] Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. [17] You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.' "
2CH 20:18 Jehoshaphat bowed with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the LORD. [19] Then some Levites from the Kohathites [of Kohath, the second son of Levi] and Korahites [of Korah, the granson Levi] stood up and praised the LORD, the God of Israel, with very loud voice.
2CH 20:20 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." [21] After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
"Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever."
2CH 20:22 As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. [23] The men of Ammon and Moab rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

[Note:Inner Fighting= Destruction]

2CH 20:24 When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped. [25] So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder, and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing and also articles of value--more than they could take away. There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it. [26] On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they praised the LORD. This is why it is called the Valley of Beracah to this day.
2CH 20:27 Then, led by Jehoshaphat, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies. [28] They entered Jerusalem and went to the temple of the LORD with harps and lutes and trumpets.
2CH 20:29 The fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard how the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel. [30] And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.

PS 47:1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.
PS 47:2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!
PS 47:3 He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet.
PS 47:4 He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah
PS 47:5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.
PS 47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
PS 47:7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.
PS 47:8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.
PS 47:9 The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.

GAL 5:16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Evangelist Austin A Phillip
(Jn 1:23) "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, Make straight the way for the Lord."
(Ja 1:27) Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

(Jos 24:15) "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
