“ Do not think that I came to bring peace to the earth. I didn’t come to bring peace. I came to bring a sword.I have come to turn“‘ sons against their fathers. Daughters will refuse to obey their mothers. Daughters- in- law will be against their mothers- in- law.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own family.’( Micah 7:6)

Then I got my staff called Favor. I broke it. That meant the covenant the Lord had made with all the nations was broken.It happened that day. The sheep that had been treated badly were watching me. They knew it was the Lord’ s message.

Then I broke my second staff called Union. That broke the family connection between Judah and Israel.

“ I have come to bring fire on the earth. How I wish the fire had already started!

So I took care of the sheep set apart to be sacrificed. I took special care of those that had been treated badly. Then I got two shepherd’s staffs. I called one of them Favor. I called the other one Union. And I took care of the flock.In one month I got rid of three worthless shepherds. The sheep hated me, and I got tired of them.

Nation will fight against nation. Kingdom will fight against kingdom. People will go hungry. There will be earthquakes in many places.All these are the beginning of birth pains.“ Then people will hand you over to be treated badly and killed. All nations will hate you because of me.At that time, many will turn away from their faith. They will hate each other. They will hand each other over to their enemies.
