Miracle – 185,000 Murdering Terrorists Killed Overnight Miracle n.    An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs. Around 700 B.C. “The Assyrians” captured most of Judah and Israel. Sennacherib, their king with 185,000, fully-equipped, crack troops surrounded a weak Jerusalem. He blasphemed God through his chief spokesmen, while proclaiming his power to save the city. (I don’t know about you, but this situation sounded hopeless for the people of Jerusalem. Soon, everyone in Jerusalem would die.) Let’s consider how large Sennacherib’s fully-equipped army was. (The city of St. Louis is approximately 345,000 people in an area of 62 square miles.) His army with its horses, supply wagons, battering rams, support staff, cooks/kitchens, etc. would have had taken up considerable space. But let’s say it was only 25% of St. Louis’ land area or 15 square miles. That’s a formidable army! Gravely concerned, Hezekiah ordered Jerusalem’s inhabitants to pray while he sought a prophecy from God’s man Isaiah. (I Corinthians 14:3 defines prophecy as edification, exhortation and comfort to men NOT prediction of the future.) Hezekiah was told Fear Not! Sennacherib shall NOT come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, etc. For I(God) WILL defend this city to save it for My own sake. Question: Who would you choose to believe? A hostile national leader backed by 185,000 troops at your doorstep – or GOD? Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem chose GOD!...
