►END TIME SERIES---Part One► THE BOOK OF DANIEL
(5) Why Did Judah Go into Exile in Babylon? What Specific Sins Led them Into Exile?
SIN FOUR: ALL OF THEM WERE COMPROMISERS (They Appeared Religious; BUT All of them Had Compromised On Their Faith, One Way or the other).
God told Jeremiah “Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I'll forgive this city.'' Jeremiah 5:1. BUT SADLY, JEREMIAH DIDN'T FIND ONE MAN. WHAT A SAD STATE OF AFFAIR. A whole nation, Not even one man was Righteous! Yes, they paid their tithe, prayed, fasted, gave to the poor and orphans, attended gatherings & CELEBRATED MANY FESTIVALS, yet NONE OF THESE ''RELIGIOUS PEOPLE'' WAS A SEEKER OF TRUTH. THEY WERE A BUNCH OF COMPROMISERS & PRETENDERS. What do we see today? Many Christians know that so many things are mere traditions of men, which have NO PLACE in the BIBLE - YET THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO FOLLOW IT. Only few are STANDING ON THE TRUTH. BE WISE, DEAR READER.
In every generation, anytime God wants to PUNISH people for their sins, He LOOKS OUT if there are some people who ARE WALKING IN THE TRUTH; WHO HAVEN'T COMPROMISED ON THEIR FAITH; WHO HAVEN'T JOINED THE MULTITUDE/CROWD. What Comes to Mind? In Genesis 18:16-33, when God was to destroy Sodom & Gomorrah for their sins, He decided to reason with Abraham. He said He was not goin' to destroy Sodom & Gomorrah if He could get 50 righteous people. He couldn't get and Abraham pleaded from 50 to 45, 40, 30, 20 down to 10. God was ready to FORGIVE the nation if He could get 10 People; yet He didn't get so He destroyed them.
In sum, God didn't get TEN TRUE BELIEVERS in Genesis 18:16-33, so He destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah. Again, God didn't get ONE TRUE BELIEVER in Jeremiah 5:1, so He sent them into BABYLON. It is a very, very sad situation. Go taught me this TRUTH: NEVER JOIN THE CROWD WHO THRONG TO CHURCH, SIT IN THE PEW, ADD TO CHURCH NUMBERS/ATTENDANCE, CELEBRATE ALL KINDS OF UNBIBLICAL FESTIVALS, FOLLOW TRADITIONS OF MEN BUT ARE BUNCH OF COMPROMISERS...THEY GOD'S NAME AND DO SO MANY THINGS IN HIS NAME; BUT THEIR HEARTS ARE SO FAR FROM HIM.
God willing, we shall look at SIN FIVE that led them into exile in the course of the day.
