Were there not other wicked people on earth at the time? Why single out the Canaanites? God has selectively executed sinners on many occasions. When “the earth became filled with violence” in Noah’s day, God caused a deluge that wiped out all but one family​—Noah’s family.... [/quote] The Israelis were told to: “Completely destroy all the people: the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, as the LORD ordered you to do.”​—DEUTERONOMY 20:17 “Be peaceable with all men.”​—ROMANS 12:18. DO THOSE Bible verses seem contradictory to you? [/quote] God did not want the Israelis to dwell with the cananites “They should not dwell in your land,” God warned regarding the Canaanites, “that they may not cause you to sin against me. In case you should serve their gods, it would become a snare to you.” (Exodus 23:33) The prophet Moses later told Israel: “It is for the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah your God is driving them away.” [/quote] Not "contradictory". Nor does the comparison show that God "changes", which scripture states that He does NOT "change". God had previously told Abraham that the Canaanite land would belong to his descendants. They were wicked people who were from the Nephilim "line". Once the Hebrews got settled into the "promised land", they didn't go out to neighboring lands to invade them. They merely defended themselves from attacks by those neighbors. The Romans 12 verse is the result of a "new thing" that God had implemented, meaning that He had already sent His Son Jesus Yeshua to preach and teach the gospel of Salvation. The Old Testament is full of "new things" that God Yahuah did at various points in time for His people. [/quote] You are quite correct. Unfortunately, The Israelites did not obey God. They did not destroy the people around them... And their descendents worshipped the idols of 'the other nations'... [/quote] Actually, God did not want "all" the inhabitants wiped out at once. I would like to quote some interesting points from this article: Israel’s Downfall (Joshua 23 - Judges 3) One reason was that if all the people of the entire land of Canaan were wiped out right away, the wild animals that lived there would be too great in number, compared to the number of Israelites. These wild animals would make it unsafe for the Israelites to live in the land. https://bible.org/seriespage/4-israel-s-downfall-joshua-23-judges-3 [/quote] The other reason God allowed some of the people to remain was to teach and to test the Israelites (Judges 3:1)... --- And apparently they failed the test: After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel. They abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. [/quote] The Israelites were faithful to God [b]only[/b] as long as Joshua and the leaders lived. Judges 1 tells of many battles that were fought by the tribes of Israel [b]after Joshua’s death[/b]. But the Israelites did not kill the enemy, or even drive them out of the land. One tribe after another made slaves out of the people. In Judges 3, we read: So the people of Israel lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites... [/quote] Worse yet: Judges 3:6 they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord... [/quote] Here's a repost, just to show what kind of people the Israelites were actually marrying: The canaanites were a pretty abominable people: Canaanites worshipped, by immoral indulgence, as a religious rite, in the presence of their gods; and then, by murdering their first-born children, as a sacrifice to these same gods. It seems that, in large measure, the land of Canaan had become a sort of Sodom and Gomorrah on a national scale. . . . Archaeologists who dig in the ruins of Canaanite cities wonder that God did not destroy them sooner than he did.... [/quote] Judges 3:7 The Israelis forgot God - worshiping baal and the groves... [/quote] Obviously, the ancient heathens would worship anything - even trees: Most of the ancient gods of the Heathens used to be worshipped in groves. And groves and trees themselves were worshipped; so Tacitus says of the Germans, that they consecrated groves and forests, and called them by the names of gods.... https://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/gills-exposition-of-the-bible/judges-3-7.html [/quote] God decided enough was enough and here we find the first of many, many judgements against the Israelis for their transgressions: Judges 3:8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years. [/quote] And when the Israelis repented - God delivered them out of the hands of Chushanrishathaim. Of course, it wasn't long before they returned to their evil ways: Judges 3:9 And [b]when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer [/b]to the children of Israel, who delivered them --- 12 And the children of Israel [b]did evil again[/b] in the sight of the Lord: and [b]the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.[/b] [/quote] This time their captivity lasted 10 years longer: Judges 3:14 So the children of [b]Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.[/b] [/quote] Judges 3:15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer... --- Apparently it takes the Israelis a long time to figure out, all they have to do is repent and God will save them. It was true then - it is true in these last days: Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, [b]turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:[/b] 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 19 Yea, [b]the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil[/b], and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen [/quote] In the last days - God's offer and mercies are extended to everyone: Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that [b][color=red]whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered[/color][/b]: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. [/quote] Bbiblehub [b]Calling on God supposes knowledge of him[/b], faith in him, desire toward him, dependence on him, and, as evidence of the sincerity of all this, conscientious obedience to him. [b]Those only shall be delivered in the great day[/b], who are now effectually called from sin to God, from self to Christ, from things below to things above. [/quote] What we learn in the book of Judges is Israel remained a theocracy; where priests rule in the name of God the entire time there were judges - including the next one we meet who is Deborah. She was a prophetess - a spiritual leader as well as a military leader. Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. [/quote] Deborah wasn't the only prophetess, spiritual deliverer in the bible. There were others: 5 Righteous Women Called "Prophetess" in the Bible The vast majority of scriptural prophesies were delivered by men, but that doesn't mean women didn't prophesy. In fact, the Lord's covenant people have been saved many times by a spiritually in-tune daughter of God. And though many women, including Rebekah, Hannah, Elisabeth, and Mary all prophesied, there are only a few who are actually designated as "prophetess" in the Bible. Check out our list* below! 1. MIRIAM The sister of Moses and Aaron, “Miriam the prophetess” (Exodus 15:20).... http://www.ldsliving.com/5-Women-Called-Prophetess-in-the-Bible/s/79347 [/quote] In the last days there will be men and women who prophesy: Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [/quote] Deborah was unique in many ways besides being the only female judge. Her spiritual position as a prophetess distinguished her from all the other judges, because none of them were given this designation. [/quote] When God appointed Deborah as judge - her people were under the oppression of Jabin, who ruled over the northern portion of Canaan, because the Israelis unsurprisingly enough did evil in the sight of the Lord. This oppression lasted 20 years - until they cried unto the Lord. So Deborah was tasked with what seemed an impossible feat & a suicide mission for whomever she chose to deliver her people out of the hands of Jabin. ---- Judges 4:3 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he [Jabin] had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. [/quote] Deborah must have been a well-known prophetess, for when she told Barak he was to lead the battle against Jabin - and the strategy God laid out that was a guarantee for victory, he insisted she accompany him, or he wouldn't go. He knew she was a woman of God and trusted her. ----- Judges 4:5 ...[b]the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.[/b] 6 And [b]she sent and called Barak[/b] the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not [b]the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?[/b] 7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and [b]I will deliver him into thine hand.[/b] 8 And Barak said unto her, [b]If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.[/b] [/quote] Needless to say - God's plan was flawless - up to the very point it was a woman who killed Sisera and ended the battle. Judges 4:9 So she {Deborah} said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” [/quote] Here's a short summary of how the battle played out: Deborah, the leader of the Israelites, urged ten thousand Israelites under the command of Barak to take advantage of their elevated position on Mount Tabor to defeat the forces of the Canaanite King Jabin of Hazor on the plain below. When the Canaanite chariots were bogged down due to heavy rainfall, they became sitting targets for the hordes of Israelites charging down the mountainside... [/quote] The end of Sisera: From Biblestudy tools: Looking for a safe haven, Sisera comes to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. She invites him to come in and find safety. To enable him to rest, Jael covers him with a quilt or rug and gives Sisera milk when he requests a drink of water. Assuming his hostess will redirect anyone looking for him, Sisera goes to sleep. He never wakes again due to Jael's brutally killing him. Jael's actions are debatable. On the one hand, Sisera knows the custom of never going into a woman's tent without her husband being there. Anyone who does can be killed. On the other hand, Jael's action of inviting him to come in without fear covers her intention. She doesn't hesitate to commit cold-blooded murder after having offered hospitality, which always included protection. The end of the story results in Jael's receiving the honor of having overcome the enemy leader. "Though predicted by Deborah, the act was the result of divine foreknowledge, not of divine appointment or action" (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown). When Barak finally catches up with Sisera, it's by Jael's coming out to meet him and showing him the body. [/quote] Judges 5 Deborah and Barak give much praise and thanks to the Lord God Almighty for the defeat of Jabin and Sisera; reminiscing on the details that led to the victory.... The last verse of Judges 5: 31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And [b]the land had rest forty years.[/b] [/quote] Next, another interesting person in Judges: Gideon And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. 7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, 8 That the Lord sent a prophet unto the children of Israel [/quote] But the Israelites did not obey the message the prophet had from God: Judges 6:10..I said unto you, I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. ---- Therefore, God sent an angel to Gideon, saying, it would be him that is destined to save the children of Israel out of the oppressive hand of the midianites. [/quote]
Original Message
In Mathew 24 Jesus' disciples ask when will the world end?
Jesus answered and said - When you SEE ALL these things - this is the generation that will see all prophecy fulfilled (Math 24:33).
He literally means seeing, i.e. through webcams, videos, computers etc.
What are ALL the things we shall SEE?
Earthquakes, disease and wars in many places around the world. (Math 24:7)
Only in this generation has this been possible - at these websites:
ds.iris.edu/seismon/;
outbreaks.globalincidentmap.com/
Ancients didn't have the ability to SEE or know of earthquakes and disease on the other side of the world i.e. Alaska etc - nor would they care?
We should care however, because Jesus tells us these things will start out slowly like birth pangs and accelerate to apocalyptic levels. When this happens (and they are accelerating), we'll have a sign the end is near.
Next - When we SEE "the evil one" in the temple from a field or rooftop - this is the start of Great Tribulation.
Why would Jesus use the examples field or rooftop?
How would you SEE "satan's man" standing in the holy place from a field?
Only way I know is with a mobile device i.e. smartphone. Therefore this prophecy couldn't happen until we had mobile devices.
This "evil person" will be so arrogant, he'll have his conquest of Jerusalem streamed live to the internet - for all to see and hear his declaration that he is greater than the God of the universe. (2 Thes 2).
Keep in mind only a priest can enter the "holy place" - so no worshipers will be in there.
Additionally, he gives a dire warning for those in Judeae/Jerusalem flee to mountains. where God has prepared a place of safety for them. (Math 24:15-18, 21) .
Every example he uses is very carefully chosen, and conveys something important, and relevant to the entire world.
He tells us we will NOT be caught unaware - that these things will happen all together; not one here or there - ALL.
Here are some more prophecies that require internet:
The gospel will be preached unto all the nations of the earth and then "the end". (Math 24:14)
All will be required to take a mark of the beast to buy or sell. (Rev 13:16). With so many people in the world today, we need computers to keep track of everyone - and THEY are doing this already.
All will SEE his (antichrist) image move and speak, and be required to worship this image that is alive and can move and speak. (Rev 13:15)
Hmmmm - TV, youtube, computer, mobile device.
All will SEE the antichrist kill 2 witnesses in Jerusalem. After 3 days God will have them rise on their feet, and ascend into heaven in front of the whole world.
Ezekiel 39:21 - ALL will SEE God punish the nations that attack Israel in the gog magog war (coming soon).
All this will be accomplished in one generation.
ALL these things must be happening simultaneously also:
evil abounding - love grows cold: porn number one industry on internet. No shortage examples evilness on internet today.
many offended - political correctness to point can't say something without being killed, fired or going to jail.
christians beheaded - on youtube and other places nonetheless.
Jesus will be hated - we know satan is trying to rid the world of anything having to do with Jesus.
many false prophets - oh yeah
many claim to be christ - yep - but the "real fake" is yet to come.
I'll talk about Israel separately - because it offends many :)
