The Third "Redemption by Annihilation"

I did come across the mention of Redemption by Annihilation the third time. Wow! Food for thought!

The third encounter was full of repeated mentions in the Bible .

In the Old Testament, the vanquished are selectively "devoted" to God. Everytime Israel was specifically instructed to "finish" off their enemies, and they didn't, the ended up suffering for their disobedience.

God knew that for Israel to be set apart unto Him (redeemed) as a peculiar nation, they had to rid themselves of certian groups of people. Although it seem heartless to kill them off, to allow them to live mostly resulted in the contamination and defeat of Israelite tribes eventually.

God knows.

What does this mean to the church in this season?

To those who seek to understand and those who seek to undermine, their portion will surely come to them.

What does it matter to you who seek?
