My Jordan randomly asked me a few days ago (December 25), “Mom, what is a professional assassin?”  I observantly answered him that a professional assassin is an exceptionally competent person who is trained with a high degree of skill and precision to murder by sudden or secret attack and not get caught. Here it is five days later and the Spirit of the Lord is speaking concerning his question.  One of, if not, the earliest-recorded occurrence of a “Professional Assassin” is the murder of the Moabite King Eglon, by Ehud around 1337 BC, which is described in the Book of Judges Chapter 3.

Judges 3:12-23

¹²And the children of Israel did evil AGAIN in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD STRENGTHENED Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.   ¹³And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.  ¹⁴So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.  ¹⁵But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a DELIVERER, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.  ¹⁶But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.  ¹⁷And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.  ¹⁸And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.  ¹⁹But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a SECRET errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.  ²⁰And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a MESSAGE FROM GOD unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.  ²¹And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: ²²And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.  ²³Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

Although we can’t go around literally thrusting people in their belly unto physical death, we have a MESSAGE FROM GOD and can thrust the SWORD of the WORD into fat situations [spiritually, emotionally, psychologically] that is brought on by the oppression of sin and the enemy.  And we, the professional assassin, will [through the WORD] with a high degree of skill and precision murder that fat situation by sudden or secret attack and not get caught.  Watch yourselves you wayward sheep, you lying prophets, you pedophilic pastors, you provoking fathers, and you prostituting mothers…ALL the dirt [waste, filth, and grime] is going to overpoweringly ooze out.  SELAH!  NO ONE will be able to come in and see about you, because the assassin [deliverer] sent by God will do his job, shut the door AND lock it on the dead fat situation,  Then we who are delivered will rejoice in the victory from God Who is our salvation.
