"Egypt shall be a desolation,
And Edom a desolate.
wilderness,
Because of violence against the
people of Judah,
For they have shed innocent
blood in their land.
But Judah shall abide forever,
And Jerusalem from generation
to generation.
"For I will acquit them if the
guilt of bloodshed, whom I
had not acquitted;
For the LORD dwells in Zion."
Joel 3:19-21
Sounds like the LORD is going to put things back together. Bloodshed for the LORD can be forgiven by Him. "For the LORD dwells in Zion" is interesting. The boundaries of Zion today would include parts of several countries including all of Lebanon. I don't know why, but as I read and reread this, I couldn't keep from staring at this.
I didn't post yesterday, interesting story. I opened to Jeremiah 42:7-12, the chapter is titled "Escape to Egypt is Forbidden." All of the sudden I got extremely tired, like couldn't-keep-my-eyes-open tired, which is so unlike me; it was only 8:30. I put my Bible up and awoke a bit.
I didn't read though, I think God wanted me to have a break, or maybe I am missing something. I am almost finished with Proverbs, and have no idea why I keep opening to the books of the prophets - I don't try to. Who knows? Well, He does. Tell God that you love Him.
The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Please read your Bible.

EspiritualReading God's Word is truly an enlightening, on-going experience; one that I truly enjoy. I began posting His Word in "My Highlighted Bible Verses" and couldn't stop. He started talking to me through Scripture, some of the messaging is beyond me...
