The dual nature of this land is striking to me. The same land that provided a perfect battle ground for the armies of the world, is also a place where God sows. The ground is so rich, I think even I could successfully grow something!

God Sows
The Jezreel Valley is a large, triangle shaped valley in Israel. The soil is rich, black gold, making this some of the most fertile farmland. This valley is mentioned in the Old Testament by name, including references to a city of Jezreel located in this valley. Because of it's location, it has always been a military battle ground. This valley played a role in battles for Deborah, Gideon and Saul. Some say that this area is mentioned in Revelation 16:16 as being the site of Armageddon.
The dual nature of this land is striking to me. The same land that provided a perfect battle ground for the armies of the world, is also a place where God sows. The ground is so rich, I think even I could successfully grow something!
