When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [15] 10/19/2025 (Evening thought)

1st Samuel 7:1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord.

After the episode with the men of Beth-Shemesh, the people requested that the sacred ark of God be removed from among them, for they became afraid and confused as to why such judgements were meted out. They did not stop to figure out the problem, but  instead, would have nothing to do with the ark. In our day some people will have nothing to do with God, because of what they see as a miscarriage of justice on His part in certain situations.

Thus, the men of Kirjathjearim were called upon to take away the ark from among the people. They did, and what happened after, to the house where it was lodged, is worthy of note, for no harm came to that household for twenty years. 2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.

Major note: Eleazar was not Abinadab’s only son, for he had at least two others, namely Ahio, and Uzzah. Thus, when you hear persons questioning God’s justice in the sudden demise of Uzzah, remember that God’s presence was apparently abiding in the same house with Uzzah for twenty years, and nothing happened to him. Just remember that.

2nd Samuel 6:3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [14] 10/18/2025 (Morning thought)

Matthew 24: 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; do not go forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

This issue of curiosity deserves our attention, for according to the Scriptures, it would be a major factor when prime time comes around. In Jesus’ prophecy about end time events, He says that the devil will be making appearances worldwide, and as a result, the curiosity of some Christians may be aroused. Thus, to avert the temptations to follow up your curiosity with inquiry, Christ tells us not to go.

[The Great Controversy pp 624] As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Savior’s advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. [Revelation 1:13-15.]

And His instruction means don’t almost go, whether it be via the breaking news, Snapchat, Instagram or Tik Tok, or any of the other social networks which bring the curious to your doorstep. The Christian should have no interest whatsoever in seeing satan, and if you were to go, contrary to God’s instruction, and things were to take a turn for the worse, folks could be led to question His justice in what God may permit, or what He may do.

Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
