Where the battle's lost and won

"If thou wilt return, 0 Israel, saith the Lord. . . ."  Jeremiah 4:1

All things to all men

"I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." 1 Corinthians 9:22

Four Carpeneters

   "And the Lord shewed me four carpenters." Zechariah 1:20.

In the vision described in this chapter, the prophet saw four terrible horns. They were pushing this way and that way, dashing down the strongest and the mightiest; and the prophet asked, "What are these?" The answer was, "These are the horns which have scattered Israel."
