Ehud and the minority 700
In those days there was a war in the city of Palms, it's walls higher than modern day Jerusalem. In the walls grew palm trees. The Hebrew Tribe of the Benjamites were all seen as righthanded, so too all the world only used one hand. God then decided to train a left arm for war. God wanted an equal strength in war on both sides. He commanded that the people tie their righthand with a rope. Amongst the 4500 was only 700 people that could use their lefthand, like in society the percentage is about 6%. The men of war could throw a stone and be on target by a breath of a hair.
From the 700 one Leader was selected called Ehud. Ehud was a typical lefthanded person, he was chosen by God to go and defeat the Babilon. God set in his heart a plan to win the war. He went to speak as leader to the King of Babilon, a perfect fix for the problem. He went in to the room of the King closed the door behind him, I assume he shook his hand and pulled out his sword. He stabbed the king in his stomach so hard that when he pulled the knife out the fat came with.
"I thank God daily that I'm a minority 6% lefthanded man. I am also thankful that I'm Afrikaner Christian and one day a boer(or Farmer). I pray for all who feel that they not allowed to be Christian to find something in the word that connects their struggle with God. In Christ name Amen"
