| Fables are like "east wind" - hot, dry, withering, blistering wind from the desert! |
The LORD's words of rebuke to His people:
Hosea 12 KJT
1 ¶ Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth
after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make
a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 The LORD hath also a controversy with
Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings
will he recompense him.
God's people feeding on wind, and following after the east wind - hot, dry, withering, blistering wind blowing from the desert!
What an indictment!
What foolishness and
stupidity!
And this is what God's children are capable of.
In fact, they are bent
on backsliding!
Ho 11:7 "And my people are bent to
backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all
would exalt him."
What about this present generation?
The LORD's words of warning to His people:
3 For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Fables are like "east wind" - hot,
dry, withering, blistering wind from the desert! And yet so many follow such
fables.
When the people of the world do that, it is to be expected! But the LORD was
addressing Ephraim and Judah!
The context is NOT the WORLD.... it is the evil going on within the CHURCH!!!
