OOPS OF THE DAY ~ August 31

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible …and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

God was mean to tell the Jews to take over someone else’s land.

Deuteronomy 12:29-31

Genesis 15:13-16  –   II Kings 17:16-18,  &  29-30  –  II Kings 21:3-11

Fact of the Day  

No! God  promised Abraham that his descendants could take over  land occupied by other people – the Amorites. But not yet.  They had to wait until the sins of the Amorites peaked . The Amorites were practicing human sacrifice to the fire god Moloch (later adopted by Baal priests).  God used the Jews to punish the Amorites.  And he warned the Jews that, if they ever did the same things, that when they reached the peak of their evil, he would give the land to yet someone else.   Then later, the two Jewish kings did the same horrible thing – sacrifice their own  children.  So God kept that promise too. He let two nations come and take the land away from the Jews as their punshment. They ended up in today’s Northern and Southern Iraq – Assyria and Babylon.
