“As Soon As They Had Rest…Evil”

Blessings folk!

The people knew how they and their forefathers had behaved.

They confessed it before the Lord…

Neh 9:28-29

“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.

As soon as the Lord delivered them and they were at rest…they did evil.

God would then “hand them over” to their enemies.

The people would cry out to God again.

Due to His compassion He would again deliver them.

Over and over…the book of Judges shows this.

The Lord would admonish.
The people would act arrogantly.

The Lord told them to listen.
They refused to listen to Him.

They became more stubborn.
They became more stiff-necked.

Beware!
Be forewarned!

Do not be like them.
