“Stubborn. Stiff-Necked.”

May 27, 2020

“Stubborn. Stiff-Necked.”

Blessings folk!

The People of the Lord and their forefathers committed great blasphemies before the Lord.

They were now acknowledging that.

They also acknowledged what the Lord did…

Neh 9:27-29

“Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them,
But when they cried to You in the time of their distress,
You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion
You gave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.

“But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You;
Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them.
When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven,
And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,

And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law.
Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments
but sinned against Your ordinances,
By which if a man observes them he shall live.
And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.


The Lord delivered them into the hands of oppressors.
The people then cried out to the Lord for deliverance.
He heard.
He delivered, according to His great compassion.

As soon as the people had rest, they did evil again.
The Lord again abandoned them into the hands of their enemies.
They cried out, again.
The Lord rescued, again.
Many times.
According to His compassion.
(The book of Judges shows this.)

The Lord admonished them to return to the Law.
Still, they acted arrogantly.
They did not listen to His commandments.
They sinned against His ordinances.
They increased in stubbornness.
They stiffened their neck.
They would not listen.

Sound familiar?

Be not like them.
