Chris.
We will gain nothing by travelling the way to Assyria! There are some Believers who just do their own thing and go their own way. They do not consult the Lord, they do not wait for the Lord, they just go their own way and then "spiritualise" it. This is dangerous for them, and, if they are Servants of The Lord, they will probably jeopardise His Testimony and His Ministry.
