Subject: In Ez 9:6 why were the children killed? |
Bible Note: How do you explain, for example, Joshua 6 then? "And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." This was clearly a commandment of God, in that he commanded "And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD:" Or Exodus 32:27 "Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour." Or Psalm 78:31 "The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel." Or Genesis 38:7 "And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him." And Genesis 38:10 "And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also." Or Exodus 13:15 "the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt" Or 2 Kings 17:25 "therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them." Or Numbers 21:6 "And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died." Or 2 Kings 19:35 "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand (185,0000): and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses." Hebrews 12:29 "For our God is a consuming fire." |
