Bogged Down in Prophesy?
"Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance."
--Psalm 83:1-4
A twelve-hundred year old psalm book was found in an Irish bog last week. It was opened to the above passage. Coincidence? What think you?

Wow! Very Cool!
I'd like to know what the list of enemies contained.
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
--Psalm 83:6-8
"Ishmaelites" Those are Arabs... today's Muslims.
"Philistine" is an earlier form of "Palestine".
"The inhabitants of Tyre..." That's Lebanon. Israel's been shelling that city hard.
Amazin' ain't it?
The more things change, the more they stay the same!
The book in the Irish bog must've been a breathtaking find! WOW!
