Footnote: Chapters 25-32 are God's word concerning the
seven nations surrounding Judah. The judgments in these chapters are not simply
the vengeful statements of Jews against their enemies; they are God's judgments
on nations that failed to acknowledge the one true God and fulfill the
good purposes God intended for them. The Ammonites were judged because
of their joy over the desecration of the temple, the Moabites because they found
pleasure in Judah's wickedness, the Edomites because of their racial hatred for
the Jews, and the Philistines because they sought revenge against Judah for
defeating them in battle.
Don't miss out on the good purposes God has intended for you! Let the Lord be the One True God in your life. Love him WHOLE-HEARTEDLY, trust him COMPLETELY and seek HIS will for your life.
