To: LukeL

Israel was not forgiven once as a nation. Have you not read Lamentations? Why was the nation invaded?

“However, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him. And the LORD said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple (house) of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”

“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 23: 26 & 27 and 24: 3 & 4

Manasseh was practicing child sacrifice. The nations around Israel were to see that Israel’s God is the only God. Today, only 6 nations have NOT legalized child sacrifice. Therefore, God’s wrath is now worldwide. God has not changed. He avenges the innocent. Read Lamentations.

Yet we have the redemption of Jesus on the Cross. Is that for both persons and nations or just for persons?
