Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he fears not before God.
Thus, as we observe in the context of God’s mercy and justice, that which is now transpiring in Europe, we must turn to the scriptures to better understand why God dealt with certain wicked nations, the way He did so that we too may be instructed on what He will do, when He delivers major retribution to those who now indulge in the grossest atrocities.
At one time the Hebrew people were forced to deal with a situation that had come upon them suddenly because the Ammonites and the Moabites, invaded the land and threatened to exterminate the Hebrew nation, without being provoked. This attack was in no way warranted, especially because those nations were spared, when the people of God could have destroyed them.
Thus, when king Jehoshaphat got wind of what was about to take place, he put the matter to the Lord in prayer and gathered the entire nation even the little children and women, for all would be vulnerable, if the impending invasion were to take place.
2nd Chronicles 20:1 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There comes a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
