New Insight

I have always been surprise how when we cover this subject of how corrupt individuals become from the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah) history.  Yet, we find that Jesus (the God of the Old testament) seems to forgive and to help them both even though they are not following His instructions to the people through the prophets.  The second chapter of Judges is just another example how Jesus saves the people and then the leaders again lead them into following other gods.  The study of Jeremiah is a very good example of this for the Southern Kingdom of Judah.  I can look around and see this now happing in our Nation today.

Jdg 2:19 NKJV  And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

 

 

Israel’s decline

Israel’s decline

When I look at the decline of the Nation of Israel and then the division of the nation into two separate nations, the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah, I do see a parallel and same thing happening to the United States or probably all English speaking people on the earth.  We saw from the Scriptures how the two kingdoms change the law of God (Jesus, our Creator and Spokesman) was changed from celebrating the Feasts of the Lord to pagan (Satan) holidays and following the 10 Commandments.  That is what has happen today to our beloved United States, the laws that Jesus gave us, we are not following what we were told by command, instruction and example that Jesus gave us and that is what happen to the two kingdoms.  Jesus told us that the only way we can show love to Him and the Father is by obeying His commands.  We know by the fruits (actions or what they do in life) we can know about individuals if they truly love God or not.  Oh, how I wish our individuals who are call by Jesus name would repent and follow His teachings.
