Bible Note: God's patience had finally ran its course. God showed that wicked nation grace for a number of centuries. Look at Genesis 15:12-16. God was promising the land of Canaan to Abram. He told him that the land would be his in about four hundred years. Why the wait? Partly because the iniquities of the inhabitants were not yet complete. When the timing was right, God sent in the Israelites to take over. There was a lot of bloodshed, yes. But if you would like to know why God wanted the Canaanites removed from the land, it was partly because God knew the Canaanites would have an effect on the Israelites and cause them to follow the same wicked ways they were being kicked outta the land for. For an example of this look at II Kings 17:5-23. Did they all go to hell including the babies? Rather the correct term is Hell; Hades; or the Grave, I have to say that personally I believe that they all did, even the babies. Four Hundred years is a long time for a nation to turn itself around and follow the laws of God. These people didn't care about God or his laws. The babies would have grown up in the same environment probably following the same sins that their fathers, and forefathers followed. God is the only one who really knows the could've and should've in an infants life. What is certain is that He annalated woman and children. Their eternal resting place I can only speculate on. And I have reason to believe that everybody went to hell. The CurtMan |
