Trouble and Peace II ...
Tuesday, Dez 17, 2019. The bible contains a lot of encouraging words. It also contains a lot of serious words. If you observe the events in the Old Testament, it is often judgement which is the topic of the day.
Can we understand the cause and point of judgement as it is presented in the Old Testament? Can we understand the judgement which is the topic of the New Testament? Let us take that up for a moment and think about it in more depth! What is the point of judgement, why is God judging individuals or even whole groups of people?
Jesaja: God's Anger …
When you read Jesaja 9, which is so often cited in Christmas services, you will find many words of judgement. The story of Jesus is taking place on the background of “terrible things”. The saviour is not coming for fun, he is coming to save. The reason of this salvation is named and described. To get a sense of the strength of the words used by the prophet, let us read the original texts, for example:
13 The people did not turn to him who struck them, nor inquire of the Lord of hosts. 14 So the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed in one day— 15 the elder and honored man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail; 16 for those who guide this people have been leading them astray, and those who are guided by them are swallowed up. (Jes 9, 13-16)
