SCRIPTURE

"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device:" — Ezekiel 38:10 (ASV)

Thus says the Lord, it will also come to pass. Who is the Lord God omniscient, and knows the thoughts of men's hearts afar off; which, though they are contingent and voluntary, yet certain to the foreknowledge of God; who knows them before they are conceived, and can foretell what they will be, and which come to pass accordingly.

It is now above two thousand years ago since this was said, and as yet is not fulfilled, but certainly will be: that at the same time will things come into your mind.

And you will think an evil thought; to do mischief to the Jews; to disturb their peace, to dispossess them of their land, and plunder their substance.
