To see salvation, but not taste it.
W
I was reading 2Kings last night. The one when Elisha was surrounded by Syrians and God blinded the army. Then he's in SAMARIA when the Syrians lay seige. It was a couple of leapers who were first to see that the enemy had fled. The king was told that because of his unbelief he would see the days of plenty restored but wouldn't taste it. He was trampled in the rush out of the city. The words keep nouncing around my head.
YOU WILL SEE SALVATION, BUT WONT TASTE IT.
What a horrific thing. To go through the deprivation of a seige (we read of women eating their babies) and to see it end, but to then be denied the food. As told by Elisha the prophet.
Go and read the story first hand.
