The Days Of Elijah – Confronting Critical Conditions

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 15, 2021

2 Kings 7:3-11 is like that. The story centers around four leprous men, forced out of the city by a dreaded disease, during a time when the capitol city, Samaria, was besieged by a powerful army of Syrian. Learing from Lepers.
