"Phinehas - Executed Judgment"
“Phinehas - Executed Judgment”
Blessings folk!
The children of Israel provoked the Lord to anger.
They sinned.
They walked in rebellion.
Where was the person that would stand for righteousness?
Where was the person that would do what needed to be done?
The same could be said of us.
Too often we sit and idly watch, expecting “someone to do something”.
Read and heed…
Psa 106:30-31
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
The plague was killing the people.
Phinehas removed the reason for the judgment of plague.
Num 25:6-8
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
Phinehas executed (literally) judgment.
It was of God.
How do we know?
The plague was stayed.
We are not to condone nor endure sin.
Deal with sin…beginning with yourself.
