We as a nation of believers seem to be overwhelmed
by the political choices of those in public office.
So many choices. We are in the Valley of Decision.
Joel 3:14
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision:
for the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of
decision."
I looked up the word, decision.
Strong's H2742: charuwts = ADJ: (1) sharp-pointed,
sharp, threshing instrument, diligent; (2) strict decision,
decision; (3) trench, moat, ditch; (4) gold; (5) wall
I didn't understand why Strong's put the word 'wall'
into the process of making and/or representing the
valley of decision. There is only one 'wall' reference
listed in the Old Testament matching the Strong's #.
Daniel 9:25
"Know therefore and understand, [that] from the
going forth of the commandment to restore and
to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
[shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two
weeks: the street shall be built again, and the
wall, even in troublous times.
Might this reference to the wall actually be a type
of collective, or cultural decision regarding the
Lord of Host and His will in their lives?
If they chose wisely, then it's gold(-en). If they
chose poorly, then it's a ditch. It all depends of
your personal choices.
