Surprise of the Day

Fact of the Day

Abram arrived in Canaan at age 75.  At age 85, God said he planned to give all of Canaan to Abraham’s descendants. but not yet.  He and his descendants had to wait another 430 years. Why? Because the sin of the Amorites who were living in Canaan at the time of Abraham had not yet reached its peak. Why wait? God is far more patient than we are.  For the next four centuries, he gave them chance after chance to repent and change. 

 God said the Israelites would go in and kill them all and take over their land.  Kill them?  That’s murder!  No, it is capital punishment.  They worshiped Baal and Asherah.  He was worshipped with child sacrifices – child killing.  She was worshipped with legalized pornography and prostitution (both male and female). God warned the Israelites that the land was “spewing out of its mouth” the child killers, etc.  But, if the Israelites did the same thing, the land would spew them out too. 

 Eventually Israel’s kings were sacrificing their sons to Baal.  Another Israelite rebuilt the walls of Jericho on top of his sons and set the gates on top of his sons!

And later, when Assyria and later Babylon laid siege to their cities, not letting them out, they ATE THEIR OWN CHILDREN!   Jerusalem finally became the most evil city in the world!  And so, they were “executed”  by Assyria and Babylon and spewed out of their land to live in foreign lands.
