plow in Jeremiah 26
PLOW
This thing shows up in Jeremiah 26:18: ““Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Jeremiah 26:18
““Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “‘Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.’”
