2 Chronicles 15:5
But great vexations - Does not our Lord allude to this and the following verse in Matthew 24:6, Matthew 24:7, Matthew 24:9, Matthew 24:13?
3 aFor a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a bteaching priest, and without claw;
4 but awhen in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.
5 And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 aSo nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity.
7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of1 Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities awhich he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the Lord that was before the vestibule of the Lord.
9 Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and athose who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 aAnd they offered to the Lord1 at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the2 spoil they had brought.
