Make Us a King. Part [6] 07/24/2024 (Morning thought)

2nd Samuel 12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

2nd Samuel 12:11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house (In the Bible God is often represented as actually doing that which He does not prevent), and I will take thy wives before thine eyes and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 723] Heretofore God's providence had preserved David against all the plotting of his enemies, and had been directly exercised to restrain Saul. But David's transgression had changed his relation to God. The Lord could not in any wise sanction iniquity. He could not exercise His power to protect David from the results of his sin as He had protected him from the enmity of Saul.

In other words, because of David’s transgression the protection that he once enjoyed from God was now partially removed and wherever God’s protection is removed, the Pit bulls that are already waiting in the wings are let loose by the devil. There are currently millions of Pit bulls waiting to be let loose across the land if and when impunity in kings is countenanced.

Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
