What God Has To Say On Genocide!

 

Today's Verse is Numbers 31:15

And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? 

    Those that would find fault with God, would claim that this shews that God is for genocide. To this, believe it or not I agree. To this, God says: But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? Yet, then, why do we not as followers of Jesus Christ do the same things? Do you not know the answer Jesus gave to Pilate? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. So, now, we abide as Ambassadors in a foreign land declaring to all that will hear, the coming of the Kingdom, that Jesus did not begin then, but will, after He shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not he gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. All of this, even as it was in the context of Moses command, is not without cause, Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you[.] So, now, let us be faithful to declare the Good News to all, that those that will hear may escape this Judgment to come, even as we have in Christ Jesus. Amen.

To God be the Glory
