6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Gaza,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because she took captive whole communities
and sold them to Edom,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because she took captive whole communities
and sold them to Edom,
So he repeats this little section 5 times with slightly different yet similar conclusions, there must be something to learn. I couldn't help thinking about the US and wondering if we too have committed 3...4, yes many sins and will that result in punishment by God for our behavior?
Its almost like he is tolerant to a point then says ok, you are off the rails far enough time to pay the price for your sins and lack of obedience.
Gina often says she feels like the US has really become God less and she fears for what that might mean. Maybe she has some bible basis for this concern.

I read this one in the message.......much easier to follow and grasp.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Gina. It worries me too. That's even more reason for us to educate ourselves, and spread the word. Its really up to us to stem the tide. It worries me more for my kids.....what will our country look like in another 50 years. Max just wrote a paper on what he thinks will change in the next 5 years, in terms of laws. He wrote about Gary marriage, and pot legalization. I agree with him. I think both of those 2 things will be fully accepted going forward. Although they are just another sin, and nothing more.....its another step in the wrong direction when you're looking thru God's eyes. (at least I think)
It worries me greatly.
