20 But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.---------------------------------------------------
This has always been so interesting to me. People just don't get it even when it's so clear. God tries to discipline His people and gives them chances...but they still continue to worship other things that are not God! God is a jealous God and He hates when people worship anything else but Him. Yet, He throughout the history of the Bible, gave people chances over and over again...but the people just wanted to cling to their sin. I don't necessarily see people worshiping idols now-a-days...however, I do see how when all things start going bad and the world starts ending...people are not going to say that it is God doing what He is doing....people are going to say it's due to global warming, or a bad economy, or its just what the Universe is doing to us, it's fate...it's etc. They will not look to the word of God and see that it's His discipline and His time of saying repent and turn to me!

4And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying,(A) "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down."
ReplyDeleteThis really makes you wonder what the seven thunders said. This goes to show about the mystery of God in all that he does. He is truly amazing for all of his mystery. This just shows me how awesome his plan is. That even when we have no idea whats coming we can still trust in him.
