Administrators Gail Posted May 11, 2007 Author Administrators Posted May 11, 2007 Hezekiah 4:9 Almost ran to my Bible to look that up... When the magi came to seek Baby Jesus, where did they find Him? (careful now!) Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Moderators John317 Posted May 11, 2007 Moderators Posted May 11, 2007 A tent peg and a hammer. To make things more sacrilegious, she killed him in the temple! Point of information: Does the Bible consider this a murder or an act of war? (singing) "If I had a hammer . . ." The obvious answer, based on Judges 5, is that what Jael did was a wonderful, heroic thing. It was part of the war between good and evil. God was in the process of preparing for the coming of the Messiah and the enemy was set in its opposition to God. Their probation was at an end. He had given those peoples over 400 years to repent. God's patience is not infinite. The gospel calls for us to take radical action also. It calls us to use "the nail and hammer", or knife, to cut sin out of our lives. If your hand makes you stumble, better to cut it off and get into God's kingdom with one hand than be lost with both hands. Don't put up with sin in our lives any more than Jael put up with Sisera. The "giants" in the land that we have to conquer are not people but sins in our lives that with God's power we can overcome. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Morning Glory Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Judges 4: 17 - 22 indicates that Sisera fled to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber....... Curious, where do you read that he went to the Temple, and was killed there? Morning Glory PS Loved the part about "If I had a hammer....."!!!
