#SameOldSins
Beware
of the fierce anger of the LORD upon the same old sins.
1Cor
10
¶6
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil
things, as they also lusted.
7
Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat
down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one
day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither
let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of
serpents.
10
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the
destroyer.
-
LUSTING after evil things.
-
IDOLATRY: worshipping the LORD in ways He has not appointed.
-
FORNICATION:
-
TEMPTING Christ
-
MURMURING
Verse
7 on idolatry is a reference to Exodus 32
5 ¶
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made
proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought
peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to
play.
It
was idolatry in the name of worshipping the LORD! Don't you find this same sin
in churches today - they play, not worship, John 4:23.
Verse
8 on fornication is a reference to Numbers 25
1
¶And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the
daughters of Moab.
2
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people
did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3
And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled
against Israel.
4
¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them
up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be
turned away from Israel.
5
¶ And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were
joined unto Baalpeor.
Note
these things:
-
the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel...
-
the FIERCE anger of the LORD...
-
take the heads of the people and hang them up against the sun...
-
judges to slay everyone that were joined unto Baalpeor...
-
twenty and three thousand perished in the hand of the LORD. A thousand more put
to death by divine command, Num 25:9.
