Love of God greater than judgement of sin
Love of God greater than judgement of sin
When is the last time you read the small prophetic book of Micah? That question is kind of like the old “Wolf Brand Chili” commercial, huh? Do you remember how it went? “Neighbor, when was the last time you had a good bowl of chili?” And without waiting for an answer, the immediate response was, “Well, that’s too long!” The book is only seven chapters long, and without knowing the history behind his writings, it might be kind of hard to understand. But there are some notable passages in the book. One such verse comes at the start of the fourth chapter when Micah addresses events that will happen in the last days of time. It speaks of God establishing his holy temple on top of a certain mountain, and all the people of the world will be drawn to it. The one thing in particular that the nations will do in the last days is spoken about in verse three; “And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nations shall not lift up swords against nations, neither shall they learn war any more.” Won’t that be a day to look forward to? No more wars, no more selfish greed, just peace between the peoples of the world. It will be a day of praise, will it not? 02/13/2025 08:49 PM
