When The Wicked Perish.

 

Today's Verse is Numbers 35:31

Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. 

    This month, in my nation, there has been an incident, in which a woman died. On one side, the claim is justified self-defense, and on the other, she was murdered. I know my opinion on the matter, but once the whole matter has been discovered, here are God’s guidelines on how one ought to react to this woman’s death, especially if she is not innocent in the matter. Is her death tragic? In so much that God hates the death of the wicked, without a doubt. Yet God’s command on the issue is: Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. However, neither ought we to take satisfaction. This is a very fine line. So, knowing that we shall all likewise perish, unless we Repent, let us remember to Judge Righteous judgment, knowing that we also shall be held to account. I for one, am glad that I have an Advocate to speak on my behalf, when I must face the Judge. Amen.

To God be the Glory
