RESUMEN: The passage in 2 Kings 6:24-7:20 tells the story of the Syrian army laying siege to Samaria, causing a great famine in the city. Two women make a deal to eat their children, and the king is overwhelmed with grief at the state of his people. The prophet Elisha represents the true church of God and offers hope to the nation. The story illustrates the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for supernatural power through the Holy Spirit. The nation is saved when God intervenes and causes the Syrian army to flee, and the people are told the good news by four leperous men. The passage is relevant to our current time, where society has reached a point of spiritual deterioration and the enemy seems to have taken over. The true church of God must continue to seek spiritual power and be the hope for the nation.

God often waits for things to reach their point of maximum evil and crisis to then intervene. He wants a church with a supernatural mentality that is seeking more of the power of God and less of the show. The church needs to adopt a dead attitude here on earth to receive God's everything. We need to empty ourselves of our love for the world, for our self, for our comfort, or for our material possessions. Until God breaks us, we will not be able to see the glory of God. The situation has changed, but no one realizes it. We need discernment to understand the radical change in our lives.


The author discusses a biblical passage about the siege of Samaria and how the people didn't realize that the situation had changed. He then relates this to the current situation in Massachusetts where same-sex marriage is becoming legal. He believes that God has declared a change in the spiritual reality of the nation and that Christians need to start acting as if the enemy has been defeated. He encourages Christians to be bold and take risks, praying for healing and evangelizing. He urges them to adopt a spiritual perspective, move in faith, and trust that God will honor their actions.


"... and there was a great famine in Samaria as a result of that siege, that is, as a result of that attack, of that siege of the city, so much so that the head of a donkey was sold for 80 pieces of silver and a quarter of of a seah of pigeon dung for five pieces of silver.” I clarify here regarding "a seah of pigeon dung", apparently in the original Hebrew it is not necessarily what it supposedly is in Spanish, it is an unfortunate translation. It is rather a type of very cheap food but it is not what it seems.

“And as the king of Israel passed through the wall, a woman shouted to him: “Save the king, my Lord”, and he said “if Jehovah does not save you, where can I save you from? , from the barn or from the wine press?", and the king said to her "what do you have?" So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I told her "Give your son here and let's eat him, but she has hidden her son." When the king heard the words of that woman, he tore his clothes and thus passed through the wall, and the people saw the silicon that he was carrying inside his body. And he said: "God do so to me, and more to me, if the head of Elisha, son of Saphat, remains on him today."
