[QUOTE]Originally posted by kalos: [QB] Hi wkitty - must stop meeting like this :-) jUST TAKING SIMPLE QUOTES WIHTOUT THIER CONTEXT IS A LITTLE UNFAIR DON'T YOU THINK-? opos caps lock - sorry... Why does God take vengeance on his enemies - what are his enemies doing thatis so bad...? Zeph 1:9 And I will give attention to everyone that is climbing upon the platform in that day, those who are filling the house of their masters with violence and deception Zeph 3:3 Her princes in the midst of her were roaring lions. Her judges were evening wolves that did not gnaw [bones] till the morning. 4 Her prophets were insolent, were men of treachery. Her priests themselves profaned what was holy; they did violence to [the] law. The Israelites had vowed to live by Jheovah's commandments - instead they were doing the exact opoosite..violence, treahcery, abuse of widows and orphans, wife beating and divorcing to marry younger women without any cause except to satisfy their lusts(see the other small books from Hosea to Malachi and you'll get the picture) SO people complain that God DOESN"T do anything and then when he does they say OH why is God punishing these poor guys ....hmmm seems like its a bit of a lose -lose situation for GOd to me...? Read the explanation of the word jealousy I gave above - in my opinion translations that use the word zeal convey the thought of the Hebrew word better. God's zeal for what is right and for justice moves him to act in behalf of the innocent. That is why he promises ot do the same again in our time ..because guess what ? The exact same things listed above and far worse are going on today - those words apply more now than ever ..rest assured that becasue of God's "jealousy" ..."To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to [b] establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness,[/b] from now on and to time indefinite. The [b]very zeal of Jehovah [/b] of armies will do this...(Isaiah 9:7) " Notice how the zeal (or jealousy ) of Jebovah is linked with righteousness and justice - that is ALWAYS the case when God brings judgment /punishment on those who WILLFULLY refuse to stop abusing their free will to the detriment of their fellow humans. Sounds very unwarped and pretty amazing stuff to me ..no human government has ever /will ever do this.All they do is slap them on the wrist and let them go for them to repeat offend; in the main worse than before.. Murderers, rapists , paedophiles, wife batterers, terrorists that's the tip of the iceberg...hmmmm ...God -please bring it on I say. Before we end up destroying ourselves and the planet we live on.
