When God Brings Judgment

Scripture:

Ezekiel 32:32 "Although I had him spread terror in the land of the living, Pharoah and all his hordes will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign Lord".

Observation:

God has just pronounced judgment and terror on most of the nations surrounding Israel.  He was talking about how He was going to utterly destroy them and how He would use Pharoah to do it.  He was letting everyone know that they were about to be wiped out in hopes that they would turn to Him.  At the end of the talks of destruction, He tells Pharoah that even though He used him to bring God's will, his hordes would be dead as well.

Application:

When God brings judgment, the job is going to get done very well.  Pharoah may have thought that, because God was empowering him to bring judgement on the surrounding nations that he was invincible, God was going to go easy on him.  When God brings judgment, He does it well.  There is a judgement day coming for every living being.  If our names are not in His book, even if He used you to bring judgement to others, we will face his judgment.  When God does something, He does is well.

Prayer:

Father, I never want to see your wrath.  Have mercy on me and on the United States of America.  In judgment, remember mercy.  I know we have gone against your will in so many areas.  Turn our nation back to you and withhold your judgment.

Yours,
Jeff
