Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Moses understood that core principle of love we spoke of earlier, as being an intrinsic element in the character of God, and even if it now seems as if God is frustrated with His people, Moses would remain unshaken in his belief and understanding that God is love.
Thus, it will be with everyone who understands that God is love, and with every story that is read in the Bible, such a person will be able to clearly read and interpret God’s actions in most cases, even when it has to do with judgements. It will always be seen or interpreted in the context of God’s love. Let’s read:
Genesis 6: 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
