People are prone to jump to conclusions. This is what God said to do before ...
The punishment is surprising, thus we must listen to God when He speaks to us. Speaking for myself I try to reason out from God’s word what He would have me to do. The WHY of it is often not clear. Trust the LORD.
Forgive us Father, we know not what we do.
Prayers for the Peace of Israel, Jerusalem, for the persecuted believers, the lost, the captives, those seeking to know Thee and do Thy Commandments, Thy blessings are abundant and constant, Thank Thee ever, in Jesus name amen.
Amen.
