The Trees Joined In
In the Lord of the Rings movie Trilogy there is scene at the end of the Battle at Helms Deep where the trees of the forest join in the battle and destroy the fleeing Orc army.
Similarly, Absalom’s forces faced off against David’s in a great forest. Something quite unusual happened during the ensuing battle.
Then the people went out into the field against Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim. The people of Israel were defeated there before the servants of David, and the slaughter there that day was great, 20,000 men. For the battle there was spread over the whole countryside, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. – 2 Samuel 18:6-8
The forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured?
Sounds like something supernatural happened there that day. Perhaps is looked like the scene from The Lord of the Rings. Whatever it was, God saw to it that his will was acomplished and his man was restored to the throne.
Father, thank you for using whatever means is necessary to grant us victory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Be nice to the trees… Jan
