See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle. This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you."<br /><br />From the desert of Kedemoth I sent messengers to Sihon king of Heshbon offering peace and saying, "Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left. Sell us food to eat and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot- as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the LORD our God is giving us." But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done.<br /><br />The LORD said to me, "See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land."<br /><br />When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz, the LORD our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army. At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them — men, women and children. We left no survivors.</i><br /><br />PERSONAL COMMENTARY</b><br /><br />I'm seeing a pattern here. God hardens the heart of someone then proceeds to punish them by killing them.

Tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me."<br /><br />Achan replied, "It is true! I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath."<br /><br />So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath. They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and spread them out before the LORD.<br /><br />Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold wedge, his sons and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor. Joshua said, "Why have you brought this trouble on us? The LORD will bring trouble on you today."<br /><br />Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them. Over Achan they heaped up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day. Then the LORD turned from his fierce anger. Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor ever since.</i><br /><br />PERSONAL COMMENTARY</b><br /><br />I continue to be a amazed as to how much God is like a man and subject to the same emotions as man. In this story, Achan took some of the loot that normally goes into the "treasury of the LORD's house" for himself. God gets angry so he allows 36 Israelites to be killed in the next battle. To appease God, the perpetrator and his entire family were stoned and burned.Roopsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11317975560581949050noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38018407.post-76694822593615569982007-07-21T06:45:00.000-06:002007-07-21T06:50:16.488-06:00He shall break their bones and pierce them with his arrows<b><i>Numbers 24:8 “God brings him out of Egypt;<br /> He has strength like a wild ox;<br /> He shall consume the nations, his enemies;<br /> He shall break their bones<br /> And pierce them with his arrows.</i><br /><br />PERSONAL COMMENTARY</b><br /><br />KJV says unicorn instead of wild ox.

For she saw that, though Shelah had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.<br /><br />When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.

He said, "What pledge should I give you?"<br /> "Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand," she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.<br /><br />..About three months later Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant."<br /> Judah said, "Bring her out and have her burned to death!"</i><br /><br />PERSONAL COMMENTARY</b><br /><br />Don't you find it interesting that the very man who slept with Tamar thinking she's a prostitute is calling for her to be burnt to death because she was guilty of prostitution? Don't you find that a bit hypocritical?Roopsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11317975560581949050noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38018407.post-15669713652186509552007-07-10T01:20:00.000-06:002007-07-10T19:55:51.760-06:00Ban those who hired Balaam from the assembly for 10 generations<i><b>Deuteronomy 23:3-4 An <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammon_%28nation%29" target="_blank">Ammonite</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moab" target="_blank">Moabite</a> shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD forever, because they did not meet you with bread and water on the road when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balaam" target="_blank">Balaam</a> the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.</b></i><br /><br /><b>PERSONAL COMMENTARY</b><br /><br />I'm sure they had to have done a lot more than what this verse mentions in order to have an almost lifetime ban from being a part of the congregation.Roopsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11317975560581949050noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38018407.post-79144554843477255172007-07-08T00:59:00.000-06:002007-07-08T11:07:26.026-06:00Saul prophesies naked<b><i>1 Samuel 19:23-24 So [Saul] went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”</i></b><br /><br /><b>PERSONAL COMMENTARY</b><br /><br />Earlier we read that <a href="http://literalbible.blogspot.com/2007/01/isaiah-instructed-by-god-to-be-naked.html">God instructed Isaiah to walk naked and barefoot for 3 years</a>. Here we see Saul prophesying naked before Samuel than laying naked all that day and night.<br /><br />Can you imagine if any of this happened today? We'd be confined to a mental asylum.Roopsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11317975560581949050noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38018407.post-15293868999690365822007-07-06T01:18:00.000-06:002007-07-07T07:13:30.924-06:00If you're illegitimate, you cannot enter the assembly<b><i>Deuteronomy 23:2 One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD. </i></b><br /><br /><b>PERSONAL COMMENTARY</b><br /><br />In other words, if a child is born illegitimately, they are excluded from being a part of the congregation. Not only that but also all their descendants for 10 generations.<br /><br />I do wonder who kept track of this data.Roopsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11317975560581949050noreply@blogger.com1
