Light from the Mountain

The Children of Israel has sinned against God so grievously that God had allowed their old enemy to capture them and drag them off into Babylon (BAGDAD, IRAQ)....

God sent a messenger to them to explain what would take place as they were hauled off in chains...
The letter was delivered to the people by God's servant EL-A-SAH... (We say, Elisha).

God tells them that He was the one who sent them into captivity and that they would be there until they had a change of mind, heart and soul...

God also tells them not to listen to the false prophets... the soothsayers....
