Fig Cookout
Blue v1-7 Ch 20 2 Kgs
Hezekiah was scheduled to die, being at the point of death, he was very ill from some type of boil yet the prophet Isaiah was sent to him with 2 words. The 1st said that he needed to put his house in order because he will die, he will not recover. The 2nd came after Hezekiah's sincerely heartfelt, deeply weeping prayer to the LORD. The LORD then heard this prayer and said He would heal Hezekiah, even add 15 years to his life; so they had to cook some health food, apply it to Hezekiah's boil, for afterwards we see how Hezekiah did recover.
They had to go and prepare a poultice of figs (v7).
Today we'd be pulling our hair out...
