First, it is a time of affliction. It was sad with the Children of Israel when they were in the wilderness to meet with fiery Serpents to sting them; while we are in the wilderness in an afflicted condition, we are fiery serpents one to another. The Hebrew word that signifies afflicted, 1signifies meek, to note, that afflicted ones should be meek ones. When the storm is coming, the Bees flock together to the hive. Jer. 50. 4. In those days, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, and the children of Judah together, going and weeping they shall go and seek the Lord their God. Judah and Israel could not agree at other times, but when they are in a weeping condition, then they shall come together.
