Thus saith the Lord God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
Thus before thee I put this vision from abroad was brought a seed to a land in the east a great vast land that had lain barren where many people dwelt and the seed was planted in that land and nurtured and watered till its branches spread so much so that it dominated the land so that many who dwelt in the land were forced to move away but because the land had lain barren before for a long time and the fruit it bore was a good sign that the land again would produce crops and be no longer barren they moved though reluctantly. But those who ate the fruit from the tree fell ill and died so those who dwelt in the land knew then that the fruit was poisonous so that they decided that it had to be cut down least others especialy children who dwelt in the land ate of the fruit of the tree and died. Thus the axes were sharpened and strong men employed to cut it down and they set to chop it down but they found that it was as hard as granite like unto ebony and they toiled night and day to cut it down even to the extent that they cut through over three quarters of way through the trunk and still it remained standing so those that had desired it destruction employed more strong men but still it stood and after wedges where hammered where they had cut through the trunk they heard the sound of cracking and creaking and then suddenly slowly it began to fall and when it struck the ground it shook the earth so much so that it seemed like unto an earthquake had struck the land and a great shout went up and all around those who had toiled and those that dwelt in the land began to celebrate the end of this poisonous tree which had born fruit pleasant to the eye but poisonous if devoured.
The land is a Nation in the Middle East the tree is the regime that ruled it the axe men are the rebels and those who dwelt in the land are those who turned against the regime that tyrannised them which at first seemed to be a government that would rule for the benefit of the whole of the people in that Nation and in the end turned out to be a cruel tyrannical dictatorship. Thus the cutting down of the tree is that which is in progress now and the felling of the tree is its assured end over which the whole of the population shall celebrate when its fall comes about which it will.
This is the Word of the Lord to thee
