Bible Answer: God was asking Israel to remember Him as a partner in their longstanding relationship, in Covenant, to reason together with Him, and to produce all the arguments possible in their own defense to justify their own backslidings and continued rebellion. There will be a real court and defence and witnesses in Heaven... for this very reason we need to be sure that Christ is our attorney! He on the other hand accused them of sin (Isaiah 43:24,27) He said they were disserving of punishment (Isaiah 43:28). He asked them to bring “evidence”, in self-defense to justify their actions or prove they were accused unjustly. compare this to 1 Samuel 12:3-5 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. [4] And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand. [5] And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. Psalm 94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. God keeps Covenant... Israel had made Covenant with Him... now He was about to judge the broken Covenant Deut. 10:12-13 And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, [13] To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? The Law of God will stand up in the “courts of Heaven”... this the very reason satan desires to get a “place” in our lives to legally work and destroy us. Ephes. 4:27 Neither give place to the devil. Place - topos, a spot (genitive in space, but limited by occupancy satan had a legal right to the earth until Christ won it thru the Cross. For this reason he could truly tempt Christ by offering it to Him if He would merely fall down and worship Him. Christ did not deny that satan could actually turn over the title deed to the earth... see notes on Rev 5.1 |
