After the many things which God had done for the
Jewish peoples in the OT, it never ceases to amaze me how often these tribes
would stray into idolatry and other such heinous, related practices. He brought
them out of Egypt - they spat in His face. Babylon - the same. More kings
rebelled against God than served Him.
Little wonder they were so often judged and punished
by Him.
Leonard Cohen did not seem entirely certain about his contention for
this century but he was definitely right to state that "There's a mighty
judgement coming." I have written it periodically on this Blog "God will
not be mocked" and in today's world, that
is precisely what is happening - even within churches. It is not nuclear wars or
collisions with meteors or terrorists that we should be fearing but a God who is
as much into RIGHTEOUSNESS as He is into LOVE!
