Shut The Door On Disobedience!!! Part 3

 Hosea 7

We are walking in today:  Shut The Door On Disobedience!!! Part 3

Witness disobedience throughout the Bible:  G3876 hearing amiss
Psalm 89:33; Romans 5:19, 11:32


Hosea 7:16
They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt
This third part of shutting the door on disobedience, deals with the unchanged heart and constant fickleness of Israel. Even under continual captivity, brought on by going another way! It was through continuous rebellion and stubbornness not to follow Yahweh's instructions, with crocodile tears in no real change of heart. No sooner had Israel's captivity ended. Then they returned to the same practices of the surrounding nations again and again.
 
Amos 2:4
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked
From all the nations of mankind. No other nation acquired such attention and wealth as Yahweh's appointed people. To teach other nations the sovereignty and oneness of Yahweh.

Amos 3:1-2
1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

 Instead of teaching the other nations, the ways of the Almighty, they got caught up in the pride of life, selfishness and ungratefulness--which continued to grow in Israel generation after generation. Israel continued to practice self-will, selfishness, sexual perversion and child sacrifice as well as idolatry. In spite of all the care, knowledge and intimacy shared by Yahweh with His adorned wife.

Isaiah 5:1-2
1 Now will I sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:  2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
 
We have to be careful because we're no different from our forefathers. There are many examples the Torah gives about the choices Israel and Judah had made. Time and time again,  immense blessings from Yahweh. His love , protection, and His word--teaching them His ways. Yet did they and will we listen and apply that instruction to lives? Abstaining from committing adultery, or playing the harlot with the desires of the world in plain view? Fiveamprayer, anything less than the kingdom of Yahweh's principles is a Babylonian system!  Shutting the door on disobedience with His word--Deuteronomy 28  To hear this again click here.
