It is found in Deuteronomy 5:9 "Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,". This was God's warning to the children, (and us), the consequences of violating His law, (specifically "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"). It involves children being cursed by the sins of their fathers and grandfathers. This is something that has to be recognized and dealt with. God is saying that if His law is not kept, then those must "hate him". Usually, if there is sin in someone's life that is unresolved, it has manifested as "idolatory". (i.e. money, sex, humanism, pride). Many sins are the result of "having another god" in your life before Him. Finally, if this was present in your family lineage, then this iniquity may well be visited upon you. Sin in your life can result in it being visited upon your children and grandchildren.(Examples: alcoholism, abusive behavior).A good way to examine is to ask yourself, "Why do I act like that? Why is this sickness, depression, anger, in my life? Look at your ancestors, then go to Him. He will remove it!Jeremiah 31:34-"And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." |
