Many Syrian fugitives cross the Danish borders daily now. We are a small country. I asked God: “How can we deal with this?” He reminded me of Isaiah 19:24-25 “In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a Blessing in the midst of the land: whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the Work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.”
I felt God saying to me that the syrians seeking asylum in Denmark are to be educated here and learn about our ways until a remnant will return to their own nation.
Pray that Danes will have good contact with the syrian refugees, and that many will accept Jesus. And that God will let the exact right number of asylum seakers be accepted to Denmark, no more, no less.
