Hello. What could be the possible translation for start from scratch ? Thank you so much .

many so called " prophets ' say < thus saith God . we have to test if truly God thus said , through the human who utters these words, whether God's presence is amidst that human or not . the Church doesn't do this and as a result, God allows them to be deceived . now they'll have to start from scratch . only through prayer, through asking the Lord God for confirmation urgently will you know if this prophecy comes from God or not . God didn't show david the event directly as he showed to efrain . but it was very similar .

beaucoup de soi-disant " prophètes ‘ disent < ainsi dit Dieu . nous devons tester si Dieu a vraiment dit, à travers l'humain qui prononce ces mots, si la présence de Dieu est au milieu de cet humain ou non . l'Eglise ne le fait pas et par conséquent, Dieu permet qu'ils soient trompés . maintenant ils devront repartir de zéro . seulement par la prière, en demandant au Seigneur Dieu une confirmation urgente saurez-vous si cette prophétie vient de Dieu ou non . Dieu n'a pas montré à david l'événement directement comme il l'a montré à efrain . mais c'était très similaire .

Now they'll have to start from scratch .

Maintenant ils devront repartir de zéro .

Maintenant ils devront repartir à zéro .

Maintenant ils devront partir de zéro .

Maintenant ils devront partir de rien .

Maintenant ils devront recommencer de zéro .

Maintenant ils devront démarrer à zéro .

Maintenant ils devront démarrer de zéro .

Maintenant ils devront commencer à partir de rien .

Maintenant ils devront démarrer d'une feuille blanche.

Maintenant ils devront commencer à partir de zéro.
