Ok!
Now we get to hear the FReepers who abandoned PDT apologize, or drone on about how it’s all a shell game?
Remember when the Lord gave Israel a King, but then they complained about him? So He gave them David? Nothing was ever enough, so He finally gave them over to the Assyrians.
Fickle like ancient Israel. Right here on this site.
Shameful.
The flight into Egypt is a story recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 2:13–23) and in New Testament apocrypha. Soon after the visit by the Magi, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream telling him to flee to Egypt with Mary and the infant Jesus since King Herod would seek the child to kill him.
LOL Solomon's son, Rehoboam, wanted to raise taxes. The nation split, 10 north tribes (Israel) and 2 south tribes (Judah). No king of Israel worshiped the God of their fathers AFTER the split. The priests and people who were faithful to the God of their fathers, moved south to Judah.
Gen 15:12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him. 13 God said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years. 14 But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions. 15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age. 16 Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”
I wonder when child sacrifice started in the land of the Amorite?
“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 24:3 & 4
Nationally legalized child sacrifice is not forgiven by God. Child sacrifice is why Israel was invaded (they were warned that if they followed the idols of the natives, they would be invaded, too). Child sacrifice is why Judah was invaded. Child sacrifice is why the PROMISED land was given to the Israelites. (Did you know the native Americans practiced human sacrifice?)
Manasseh did repent and Judah was given a reprieve. During the reprieve was a great revival. I'm praying for a worldwide revival because if not, Great Tribulation. No other justification for the deaths of at least 1/3 of the world's population except, life for life. The shedding of innocent blood is God's red line. Did you know there are satan worshipers in DC? Both parties.
