Bible Question (short): Numbers 14:29 is this the age of acc...? |
Question (full): Ok, Mark you brought up the age of accountability. Here is something that I've been think about, contliplating, and studying some more. Back to the desert where God is dispensing His judgement on the Hebrews who rejected the report of the two spies and took the word of the eight other spies over the word of the LORD. This is something that has really stuck with me... pay close attention to verse 29 in the following excerpt from Numbers Chapter xiv. Num 14:20 The LORD responded, "I have pardoned them as you requested. Num 14:21 Yet as surely as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the LORD's glory, Num 14:22 none of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tested Me these 10 times and did not obey Me, Num 14:23 will ever see the land I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have despised Me will see it. Num 14:24 But since My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me completely, I will bring him into the land where he has gone, and his descendants will inherit it. Num 14:25 Since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the lowlands, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea." Num 14:26 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron: Num 14:27 "How long must I endure this evil community that keeps complaining about Me? I have heard the Israelites' complaints that they make against Me. Num 14:28 Tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. Num 14:29 Your corpses will fall in this wilderness--all of you who were registered in the census, the entire number of you 20 years old or more--because you have complained about Me. Num 14:30 I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. Num 14:31 I will bring your children whom you said would become plunder into the land you rejected, and they will enjoy it. Num 14:32 But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness. Does anyone take this any further as being the age of accountability? That up until, and I saw this related to in Proverbs somewhere, but at this moment I can't find it to relate it here. Any thought? |
