    Gen.14.1-17,21-24 "Abraham into the fray"

    "And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain./And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

    /12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed."

    The fight of five kings against four tells us "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." and for Abraham came in the manner he rescued Lot.(2 Tim.3.12)

    Falling in the valley, it must be an open valley as we find in the Vision of Ezekiel. These dry bones tell a story of these skirmishes and where the ungodly end up. Combine this skirmish of kings, what does falling into slime pits mean? Is it relevant to the narrative? The Spirit does not leave any loose ends. The pride of Lucifer and the slime pits connect."I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High./Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."(Isa.14.13-15) Valley of Hinnom is where two oher valleys meet. The king who held monopoly over the slime pits enabled the builders of Babel to coceive the grand building programme. So the valley of Himnnom is one name and where does it lead to?it was often the site where people of Judah sacrificed their children to Baal( 2 Kings 23:20; 2 Chron. 28:3,4.) Our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with spiritual wickedness in high places. Thus' there is war in heaven while Archangel Michael fights we also feel its consequences in our own lives. So abiding with Christ and producing fruits is the only Way Christ took. Armageddon is not a literal place but in the mid-air, the promised land mentioned in 15.18-21 that is Up and Down and Across. Otherwise there would be no need for drying up the great river of Euphrates. (Rev.20.8-9) "and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."

    Correction in the last para.

    "So abiding with Christ and producing fruits is the only direction for us in the Way that Christ took. Armageddon is not a literal place but in the mid-air, the promised land mentioned in 15.18-21 that is Up and Down and Across. Otherwise there would be no need for drying up the great river of Euphrates. The ungodly nations are there while Satan and his angels are up in the air. (Rev.20.8-9) "and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
