There is a great need to spread the Word of God swiftly as there will be a famine for hearing the words of the Lord in the coming days.

The word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified - 2 Thessalonians 3:1.
May we spread the word of God that remains forever to increase, grow, multiply and be glorified. But the word of the Lord endures forever.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength - Philippians 4:12,13.

And this is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand - 2 Kings 3:17,18. God delivered the Moabites into the hands of Israel.
