“For Before the Child Shall Know to Refuse the Evil and Choose the Good”

D. Kelly Ogden, Andrew C. Skinner

Prophecy: “Before the child [or a child, generic] shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good [possibly an idiomatic reference to the age of accountability; that is, within eight years], the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.”

Fulfillment: Syria and Israel were plundered. Both Pekah and Rezin were killed within three years.
