Subject: Plead My case or judgment? |
Bible Note: Hi lionheart, Youngs Literal Translation seems to say that God will be judged along with the people. I find it interesting that one of the references for verse 36 in my Study Bible has 1 Corinthians 10:5-10. 1 Cor 10:9 reads, "Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents." The idea of "trying" the Lord is not as in a court trial or in a judgment of any kind, but the idea is that we should not over-prove the Lord. We should not tempt or over-tempt Him. The idea of Ezekiel 20:35-37 is that the people will be judged and God makes them "pass under the rod" to see if they belong to Him. The Amplified version gives us the idea of how the sheep were passed under the rod as they were counted. From the heart, Ray |
