The Michmash Miracles


How Old Testament History Helped The British In World War 1


How Old Testament history helped the British win a battle in World War I. Based on the incredible true story of two battles three thousand years apart.

The first battle was recorded in Samuel in the Old Testament, where the Israelites were facing a huge Philistine Army on a mountain near the village of Michmash. Jonathan, King Saul's son, finds a secret path to reach and outflank the enemy, and eventually wins an extraordinary victory.

The second battle takes places in 1918 when the British Army is facing the Ottomans in the same place and in similar circumstances. A British officer is reading the Bible the night before the battle and finds the reference to Michmash. He learns about the tactics Jonathan used three thousand years before and the secret path he found. Using similar tactics, he and his men win a magnificent victory over the Ottomans.
