Hi John & Doves.

Quote - "The Sanhedrin
selected a group of seven individuals from among themselves to represent
the institution in dealings with the public and with Gedolei Yisrael - recognized spiritual
leaders of Israel...." http://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/main/officers.html

Micah 5:2-6 KJV
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands
of Judah, yet out of thee
shall he come forth unto me that is
to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Therefore will
he give them up, until the time that
she which travaileth hath brought
forth; then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children
of Israel. And he shall stand and feed in the
strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and
they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
And this ... shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land;
and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him
seven shepherds,
and eight principal men. And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; thus shall
he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when
he treadeth within our borders...."
Is this appointment of the
seven shepherds another step in the fulfilment of prophecy,
indicating the near return of our LORD?
"At the height of its
power in the 8th - 7th Centuries BC, Assyrian territories included Media,
and S. Anatolia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Arabia, Egypt, Elam and Babylonia." NBD.
Media = N.W. Iran
S. Anatolia
= Asia Minor = Southern Turkey
Cilicia = S.E. Asia Minor = (Turkey’s
Southern neck) -
vital trade route between Syria & Asia Minor
Syria = O.T. bounded by Taurus Mountains
in the north, the western bend of the Euphrates river and the Arabian desert-edge
from there to the Dead Sea in the east, the Mediterranean Sea on the west,
and the Sinai isthmus at the extreme south.
Palestine =
originally applied to the territory of Israel's foes, the Philistines,
first used by Herodotus as a designation of southern Syria, particularly
the coastal plain.
Arabia = Saudi
Arabia which includes Yeman
and Oman
Egypt = North Eastern corner of Africa and Sinai isthmus
Elam = South West Iran
Babylonia = S.W. Asia now South Western Iraq.
Land
of Nimrod = His Kingdom included Babylon, Erech and Akkad = Iraq
This sounds like the Bible
has correctly described the territories presently occupied by Radical Islamic
Terrorist networks and Anti-Israel Governments.
This is what it looks like

Now we have Al Qaeda
in AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, SAUDI ARABIA, SINAI, Hamas
in GAZA, WEST BANK, - Hezbollah in SYRIA and LEBANON, and - Muslim
Brotherhood in EGYPT.
God has promised to deliver
Israel in this messianic scripture, and the enemies
of Israel will be “WASTED” in their LAND.
Blessings to you all.
