Bible Question:
When we read these verses, it seems that it is okay for Israel to destroy any country nation exterminate them whatever they like... Why when Hitler tried to do the same things to Israel/jews the world condemned Him and name him the greatest criminal, the anti christ whatever named they wanted to call Him. De 12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: De 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: Jos 11:20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses. Jg 21:11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. 1Sa 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1Sa 15:9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. |
Bible Answer: God is an Omnipotent GOD, ALL POWERFUL, Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Nahum 1:2 ¶God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. Under the old law God spoke directly to prophets and others giving them specific instructions, It could have been because HE always knows the future He knew Israel would be tempted to worship idles as they had in the past so to destroy people and lands would help to keep them in line. Don't forget God is our creator and owns our soul. We are free will agents but we also have a law, CHRIST'S NEW TESTAMENT which will be our judge on the judgement day so we need to be carefull not to ADD or TAKE AWAY from it as it says Revelation 22:18. for we have the same GOD. Hitler like any other ruler is under the power and laws of GOD. |
