COLD OR HOT ANGER

35) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Numbers 31, Israel must take vengeance on the Midianites!
So they kill the kings of Midian!
But they preserve the females who induced the Israelites to practice fornication and spiritual prostitution against Yah.weh!
And the Israelites paid a high price for that!
Thus Moses is indignant!
So they must kill everyone except the virgins!
As usual, The Israelites take the wrong way against Yah.weh!

JLG · Jan 21, 2024

36) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Deuteronomy Chapter 1, Moses tells the Israelites that they refused to get into the promised land!
As a consequence, they would die in the desert!
Because of them, Yah.weh was angry at Moses and he couldn’t get into the promised land either!
Then they decided to get into the promised land against Yah.weh’s will!
And they lost against the Amorites!
What an obstinate people!
So is mankind!
They never understand!
Because they don’t want to understand!
And the doors will be closed as it was when Noah and his family entered into the ark!
Being obstinate leads nowhere!
Being humble is the only way to open the doors!

JLG · Jan 21, 2024

37) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Deuteronomy Chapter 3, Moses asks Yah.weh to let him get into the promised land!
But he and Aaron didn’t give the glory to Yah.weh when the Israelites could get water!
But Yah.weh would not listen to Moses!
He was still furious with him because of the Israelites!
But he listened to Moses each time Moses prevented him from destroying Israel!
What belongs to Yah.weh belongs to Yah.weh!
There is no possible discussion!
Whoever doesn’t understand that will face death!
When the Big One occurs, everybody will understand that but it will be too late!
It is not possible to play with Yah.weh!
When time comes, it is necessary to pay!

38) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Deuteronomy Chapter 9, we are told that Israel has no righteousness!
Israel is an obstinate people!
They provoked Yah.weh in the wilderness!
They rebelled against Yah.weh!
In Horeb, Yah.weh wanted to annihilate Israel!
They made a golden calf!
At Tabʹe·rah, At Masʹsah, and at Kibʹroth-hat·taʹa·vah, they provoked Yah.weh!
Is that clear enough?
It should be!

JLG · Jan 21, 2024

39) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Deuteronomy 25, Yah.weh remembers Israel that Amalek

attacked them when they came back from Egypt!

Thus he opposed Yah.weh!
So when Yah.weh gets them rest from all their enemies, they must do everything so the name of Amalek will disappear!

JLG · Jan 21, 2024

40) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Deuteronomy 31, Yah.weh tells Moses that he is going to die!
And he says that as soon as Moses is dead, Israel will begin to commit spiritual prostitution with the foreign gods that are in Canaan!
They will forsake him and break his covenant!
Then each time Yah.weh will become angry and strike them with calamities and distresses!
And Yah.weh tells Moses to write down a song about rebellious Israel and it will serve as a witness to them!
Then Moses tells the song to Israel!

41) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Joshua 7, we are told about a new problem!
Jericho was destroyed and everything in the city had been devoted to destruction!
But a man named Achan took something which was devoted to destruction!
As a consequence, Yah.weh was angry at the israelites!
Then the Israelites went to destroy the city of Ai!
But they lost and had to flee!
And it happened because of Achan’s action!
Because of what happened to Israel, they stoned Achan and his family!

JLG · Jan 21, 2024

42) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Judges 2, we are told about the covenant between Yah.weh and the israelites!
But they kept disobeying Yah.weh!
As a consequence, Yah.weh permitted the inhabitants of Canaan to stay in Israel to push the Israelites in the wrong direction!
When Joshua died, the Israelites went after other gods!
And Yah.weh stroke them and they were in great distress!
And Yah.weh raised up judges to save them from their enemies!
But each time when a judge died, they went back to corruption and did worse than their forefathers!
And Yah.weh would strike them again and again!

JLG · Jan 21, 2024

43) Cold or Hot Anger?

In Judges 3, Yah.weh allows nations to stay in Canaan!
It was a way to test Israel!
Would they obey Yah.weh’s commandments he had given to their fathers through Moses!
Because of their constant unfaithfulness, they were put to the test!
As a consequence, they took their daughters as wives and their own daughters to their sons and thus they served their gods!
And the situation got worse and worse!
Today we can see exactly the same situation!
Nothing has changed and won’t change!
Thus Yah.weh will clean the earth!
Time will come when only those who obey Yah.weh’s commandments will get the promised land!
And only them!
SIMPLE!
It doesn’t matter if men don’t want to understand!
Yah.weh is the boss, not man!
That is divine balance, divine justice!
No human justice which is a joke!
