In this episode we continue studying the book of Revelation. We discover that seven angels will release seven plagues and that the word plague means a public calamity, heavy affliction, wound, stripe.
Key related words are, suffering, correction, carnage, trip the feet and defeat.
God sends Calamities upon nations when they turn to serve other gods, after He’s shown favor to them.
We note however, that although God sends plagues, sometimes the people don't know they are experiencing God's judgment.
How can God send, raging fires that burn entire cities, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes and people don’t know it’s the judgment of God?
God noted this strange tendency in the following text:
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD. Jeremiah 8:7
Perhaps in our day, this occurs, partly because preachers and teachers tell people God doesn’t send such things and partly because some will say it’s global warming. All these are lies that blind the peoples eyes to the truth. Perhaps if they knew the truth, people would repent and return to serving God.
We also note why a nation may start serving idols as seen with the Israelites, they whined and complained against God because of the mixt multitude that lived among them.
It was the Mixt Multitude that stirred up the Israelites to complain against God. Exodus chapter 12 verse 38 says, that a mixed multitude went with the Israelites when they left Egypt. Pharaoh had slaves from other nations and some of them left with the Israelites when they left Egypt, including many Egyptians.
At first it wasn’t a common thing, to have strangers come into their land and openly taunt them or their God, but when the Israelites started serving other gods that’s what happened.
Did you know that on one occasion the Philistines took the Israelites weapons, so they couldn't fight back when they went to war against them?
The text says, not a weapon was found on the day of battle in the hands of the people.
Pretty clever, to take your enemies weapons so they can't fight back.
May the Lord have mercy on the nations that serve him!
