The Battle is not yours but God’s 2nd Chronicles 20:15 c Life is a Battle. Every day we are fighting many battles in our lives: It may be mentally, physically, or emotionally. Sometimes we won and sometimes we lost our battle. Many times we asked God, why you allowed these challenges in my life, though I am your children. One day the king of Judah  Jehoshaphat faced the same situation. Though he was a God-fearing king, he never trusted in his own power, but he trusted the power of God.

Introduction When we read these two books   "Ezekiel and Deutero-Isaiah", sometimes it is very difficult to understand; the one causes may be it's the background. To understand any books in the bible, it's background and context is most important. Sometimes many preachers did big mistakes during delivering the word of God in churches.
