In the past God used nations to punish Israel. And yet afterwards He punished those same nations for punishing Israel. He also punished nations for mocking Israel.
Ezekiel. 25-26
Obadiah 1:10-14
The reasons for Edom's punishment
You acted cruelly to your relatives who are descended from Esau, Jacob's twin brother.
So now you you will be disgraced, and you will be destroyed forever.
When foreigners entered the gates of Jerusalem and cast lots to decide what valuable things they would take away, you were as bad as the invaders;
you just stood there and did not help the Israelis.
You should not have gloated about the disaster the Israelis were experiencing;
You should not have been happy when their towns were ruined.
You should not have made fun of them when they were suffering.
They are my people, so you should not have entered their city gates when they were experiencing those disasters and you should not have laughed at them.
And you should not have taken away their valuable possessions.
You should not have stood at crossroads to catch those who were trying to escape
You should not have captured them and put them into the hands of their enemies
when they were experiencing those disasters.
Keep the above in mind. God is an avenger and jealously guards His own. Do not tamper with what is God's.
WHAT IS NEXT?
