“When the Lord brings you into the land of seven nations greater than you, then break down their altars, burn their groves, smash their idols, destroy all they own, and save no male children alive.”
“The Lord wages war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
Harsh words to modern ears.
It’s one thing to crush a foe.
But to extinguish groves, cattle, and children, is extreme.
God has a reason:
“They will turn your hearts from following Me that you should serve other gods.”
There would be no people for Jesus to come to, if Israel assimilated with idol worshippers.
No disciples, no proclamation of the Gospel, if Israel had cast off its God-given religion.
But aren’t cattle and children innocent?
Yes.
But in the presence and permeation of evil, no.
Evil permeates all around it.
Animals, children, even a simple table cloth can be contaminated with evil.
Wickedness seems to have the advantage over goodness.
Vice is attractive and ready at hand.
But virtue is cheerless, rare and difficult to gain.
“Ask the priests concerning the law,” God commands the prophet Haggai:
“If holy flesh touches a vessel, will it sanctify it?”
“No,” answers the priests.
“If holy flesh touches a dead body will it partake of its pollution?”
“Yes,” answers the priests, “it becomes polluted.”
Goodness only with labor gains hold on human nature.
Yet evil—with its promise of gratification—easily seizes men with its flirtation.
Wormwood quickly imparts bitterness to honey.
Yet honey, even in large amounts, imparts no sweetness to wormwood.
Take exterminators.
A thorough job is their task.
If roaches crawl in one corner, other corners are not spared the gas.
Look at our nation.
Its repulsive display of immoral acts makes you gag.
Should the Amalek Syndrome kick in?
I mean, how do you suppose God would deal with today’s evil, so depraved and obscene?
Would one corner be treated and others go unheeded?

I can understand your point but I Completelly Disagree!!!
You’re contradicting yourself.
Excuse Evil with More Evil is not an answer.
Jesus Christ Said and also DIDI IT «Forgive and Bless your enemies.» to the point of His Own Death.
If what you’re saying would be true, even Jesus Would be Contradicting Himself.
So, no. You’re wrong , dead wrong.
If you are a child of God, you are an heir.
Jesus said, I AM not of this world.
Since I AM a Child of God, I am not of this place either,
and will not take part in its plagues.
Agree completely with Rogério Maciel.
America has become the modern day Sodom and Gomerrah. Judgement awaits this satanic sodomite agenda. They are against everything that is Holy. The sodomites have even hijacked the sacrament of marriage. The sodomites are even parading half naked in their “pride” events, and they call it a “family event”. America’s day of judgement will come on it’s adulteress and sinful generation. Totally with you Brother.
God brought judgement on nations (The Day of the Lord) it seems when there was no hope left of redeeming the populations. Even then, he left a remnant of righteous and faithful to reseed and restock. The meek inherit the land, i.e. after the wicked are destroyed out of it. It is not left to man to decide judgement, there is only one law giver and judge. But there are plenty of examples of God’s wrath to know that he periodically purges his threshing floor and gathers his wheat into the garner. There can be an end to the age, but not to the Earth. I’ve seen the horrendous energy of the “End” back in 1967 along with all the other psychics who suddenly came out of the woodwork, so Ed Dames’ “Kill Shot” doesn’t look too crazy as he does himself. Power belongs to God, but also to you, oh Lord, belongs mercy.
It is left to us to come out from among them and be separate, and warn those who will listen.
A huge solar “burp” enveloping the planet with extreme radiation and heat?
Thermonuclear warfare with all the warheads detonated followed by who knows what climatic effects, pestilence, famine and the survivors slaughtering each other for food and shelter and other basics?
Observing USA society and the growing evil and absurdity, a portion of my pondering proclaims, “Let the carnage commence and cleanse this country of the evil growing within.”

That’s why God’s holy orders for fighting evil involves apparent savagery.
Biblical extermination seems harsh and scary.
Yet, it’s actually merciful in the cure it carries.
And yes, necessary too.

Could this be the reason?

Amen, God said to stop Sinning, He is Good, He is Blessed. He told us to forgive our ennemies and that Vengeance is His.
My Father in Heaven Forgive our Sins and iniquities, your Wrath is Terrible and Just. Deliver us from this world of Evil.
The word “ groves” in our KJV. should have been translated “Ashera”. as in the Santa Biblia RVG
Not a flood but fire next time?
