Not sure precisely what you’re quibbling with God’s Word about. And therefore I don’t know precisely what you’re annoyed with me about in my affirmation of that posting of Scripture.
I was applauding those verses for several reasons.
FOREMOST—THEY ARE A TESTIMONY TO GOD’S NATURE AND GOD’S PRIORITIES. It is only in at least a minimal understanding of God and His priorities that individuals have any hope at all. We must know that He Is and Is a rewarder of those who seek HIM.
Those who LOVE WHAT AND WHO GOD LOVES AND HATE WHAT GOD HATES are wise.
THE SCRIPTURES ARE GOD’S WORD.
GOD’S WORD IS ALWAYS REDEMPTIVE ACCORDING TO
HIS PRIORITIES.
Man is crazy to go against GOD OR HIS PRIORITIES.
GOD IS
BY DEFINITION
THE BOSS!
I don’t understand everything about HIS priorities.
I don’t understand everythinga bout HIS economy.
Sometimes HE seems to spend people like water.
Yet, HE knows every hair on every head and when a sparrow falls.
HE has already judged Esau and pronounced sentence.
IT IS HIS DOING. HE WILL CARRY IT OUT.
Individuals in Esau’s family CAN STILL SEEK HIM AND FIND HIM AND HIS REDEMPTION through Christ’s Blood.
HE DECREES that ALL who earestly truly SEEK HIM SHALL find HIM.
However, my main point was that the Scriptures declare very emphatically God’s priority for the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Such a clear declaration in Scripture about this era affords folks the chance to realize that GOD REALLY HAS KNOWN the end from the beginning . . .
AND
as crazy as this world is rapidly becoming more and more—GOD IS STILL WORKING HIS WILL OUT and WILL CONTINUE to emphatically achieve HIS GOALS.
HE raised up Israel partly as a promise to HIS BUDDY FOR ETERNITY—Abraham
AND LARGELY TO DISPLAY HIS GLORY WITH ISRAEL AS THE OBJECT LESSON in positive and negative respects.
And, consequently . . . also all those who would dare to touch Israel in blessings or curses—HAVE AND WILL RECEIVE GOD’S RESPONSES accordingly.
HE IS
THE BOSS.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE WORD OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE WAYS OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
Maybe Alamo-Girl can explain it better than I can.
