Troublesome Mess

And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

· And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

· And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

· And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

· And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

· And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

The Book of the Beginning14:11-16

Well my goodness, gracious, mercy me if it is not the dearly departed come trotting home once again. Maybe that is the whole problem is not something else here in the midst, it is all the trouble that is borne under the sun. Though things are not as it should have been down here all below. The goods are all missing and scattered everywhere all abouts. Then if you would pay attention to the Book of Jasher there are accounts there that are all over the map. Basically, in short sum again, let us summarize real quickly what we would know then from them. There was an issue there sure when the four judges got involved to which Abrams servant called them by different names there for sure and that was where you would have know there. With a lot of starvation there being found and it was no wonder that Lot got elevated to judges position there to be found in the land. With all the corruption thats planned and whatever else to be found. Well, it is not just hatred there sure but somethings not working as otherwise there. Then is the chasing on down

there to Dan and you would have know that things are not just as planned. Then there was thievery that would take place in the midst and by all things an of whom exist that these had known not in the midst. They knew not there the Lord as them that did good were then toward. Isolated at best in our lives or in otherwise disguised. They were hated there then for sure as the ones that had starved were tossed out in the world. Them that did good in the midst had made it their lives and for that some of them were then killed all for the sake of having done good in the land. Is it any wonder for sure that God had been good to the world. He is holy there sure and how can not any land such as this groan now and then that when the sound should come up there to Heaven as planned, well it is just as Enoch would have said was around to be had. The Prophecy thereof if you wanted a truer account to be had of what it might have been like in the land. Surely some had not done there for sure all the good they might have done there in this world and so it was an all things an of him there toward as unto him sure. There is not space enough to display then for a time all that the cruelty you would have found. Both to the stranger and them in their midst that they knew then for a start and what would have would have come from the heart. Knowing all this then, is it any wonder that our God has now had to make Sodom and Gomorrah a ruin for then. Though for survival to happen and for all the stuff to be recovered here in this world, whether or not it was before the Lord had sent down destruction meant one of two things happening. This means one of two things, either Gomorrah had taken a vessel or Sodom had rather which was why Abram dared not touch anything therein the whole city. You never know do you when you could be taking the king of Sodom on home. I mean, that is a discomforting thought is not it then so as most truly. It is also where the Lord had to give them instructions concerning certain nations which were known to do it before to destroy everything possibly containing the vessel then later. That meant for some of the people that the stuff they would rather had to go after the people or so. Though we were not talking about the legions and customs of men. I mean, the issue here is how Abram even had sense to find his own brother. There is a war going on with what is not entirely visible yet Abram had just connections enough with the people that lay around in the land to have found out where they were staying again. It is like this, if one person who knew the way there was able to come and lead

Abram on back again, that is what you would term as a guide in particular. Basically, these are just like people who had lent out their service. They would show you where things are or how to get there. Then too, there is also some guides of the men and we would call them teachers now and again. Abram had trained his own men in art of warfare and kept them all safely with the utmost of care. Probably he had even fed a few or sheltered them in just out of the cold. Then for service to him I was sure he had paid them with wages or coin or a few animals of which he would had many and some also to spare. When it came down to it, Abram probably was a good man as far as these had considered then truly though for certain no man is good except for the Lord then in full. Have you figured which way is the mountain from there on back again? I would say it is more likely towards the right side if you were looking up from Egypt there in particular. Then too I was not sure it would be right to classify the Red Sea location as central to all of this action. Though, there is a pretty good theory that Abram is in the plain of Mamre which as you would recall is near to the center of his journey and then from there he went where in particular? Surely, these did not go hide out right by the mountain that Abram first camped out at when he brought himself on into Canaan. So thus, the chasing began all the way to Dan as the expression went whether physically or metaphorically just in the middle. Though knowing what you would have of Dan from what Enoch there said, can you figure out how bad it was then?

Then there is

Hobah,

which is on the left hand of Damascus

Which also is very near to Samaria then proper, or it was in Jesus day back when I last checked it or so. Not that I would had opportunity of living back then, just that that is where it was in the Scripture last seen by Samaritan locations.

· And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the

slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.

· And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

· And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

· And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

· And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

· And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

· That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: 

24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the

men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

The Book of the Beginning 14:17-24

Well, that is the story of how Abram had fed a whole region and also returned to them what had been theirs in the beginning more than likely before Sodom had started his trading. I mean, it is probably a pretty good deal certainly considering all the trouble he would have at the time. You likely would too if you wanted a heartache for sure and quite possibly wanted to know about as research would have find what springs there to mind. Can you imagine a king in that place keeping peace where others had failed to the time in exacting justice divine. It seems almost inconceivable as it were every good to the time. Though if you wanted to know there for sure how that it had got in this world. It is for sure that God cannot be impugned with the evil there that accords or was allowed to creep still through the land. This darkness thats planned. Then too there is Melchizedek king of Salem which is peace to those of you that consider the region. Though I know some of you are awful allergic to those things that make up the notion. I mean, you might not have seen the Lord yet in this section, yet he is still on the throne and altogether sovereign whether noticed or not so as back then. The other things I would mention is whether you can find the valley of Shaveh or the kings dale there in particular. Can you even find the Lord at all in this place thats been mentioned? By the which Abraham would have sweared in any way there, would the king there at the time have even known that in that to find this God we would otherwise mind.
