Lesson Five - Page 12

(53) When a nation transgresses the law of God, includ ing his economic laws, what is the result mentioned?

2Chronicles 24:17-27 KJV (17) Now after the death of Jehoiada (the High Priest) came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them. (18) And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass. (19) Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord; and they testi fied against them: but they would not give ear. (20) And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why trans gress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you. (21) And they (the princes)conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord. (22) Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord look upon {it}, and require {it}. (23) And it came to pass at the end of the year, {that} the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus. (24) For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the Lord delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash. Matthew 13:40-43 KJV (40) As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (41) The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; (42) And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (43) then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

( ) a. We have a revival. ( ) b. We can not prosper.

(54) Why did God cause the Syrians to make war on Judah? (or why might God have the communists invade America?)
