In Deuteronomy 7 we read where God commanded the Israelites to completely wipe out wicked nations. In verse 2 we read, \u201cand when the LORD your God delivers them over to you, you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them.”<\/p>\n\n\n
My question for you to consider is this: If God\u2019s chosen people were about to enter our nation, would He command them to wipe us out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n I know some like to brag and say this country was founded on Christian beliefs by men who believed in God\u2014and there may be some truth in that. But the nation I look around and see today does not even remotely resemble one that was founded on Christian principles.<\/p>\n\n\n Consider:<\/p>\n\n\n Moses continued in Deuteronomy 7 by saying: \u201cFor they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; so the anger of the LORD will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly. But thus you shall deal with them: you shall destroy their altars, and break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images, and burn their carved images with fire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n God wanted His people to be holy. He wanted them to destroy any idols that might come between Him and them.<\/p>\n\n\n I wonder – would God have the Israelites totally wipe us out if the Exodus were happening today? Are you seeking to be holy and encouraging those around you to put God first?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If God\u2019s chosen people were about to enter our nation, what would He have them do with us?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26208,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20,35,83],"tags":[145,141,1643,1644],"class_list":["post-26207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-culture","category-government","tag-brad","tag-government","tag-iniquity","tag-wickedness","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\n
