Hear Ye The Rod! Judgment’s Voice
“…Hear Ye The Rod…”
“The LORD’S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.”
(Micah 6:9)
In Micah 6:6-9 the Lord has a controversy with
Ignorance
Not ignorance in general, I’m talking about willful ignorance… being stupid on purpose. People don’t like it when you say this or that is God’s judgment.
You want controversy? Just say Katrina was the judgment of God or tell people Haiti’s earthquake was the judgment of Almighty God. If you really want to stir them up, say that AIDS is God’s judgment on sodomites.
That’s when people tell you what they really think. Oh, “You’re not very Christlike… Jesus preached love… Jesus said you shouldn’t judge… He said let him that is without sin cast the first stone…” and all that other stuff liberal Devils love to twist and take out of context. (See picture to right)
But even they have to admit, whether you’re talking about AIDS, whether you’re talking about 9/11 or some natural disaster, God still knew about it before it happened… He knew who would get hurt; He knew how many people would die; but He let it happen anyway!
God rules and overrules in the affairs of men and there’s not a tragedy in this world that has ever taken Him by surprise. In fact I believe He does things to shake us up every now and then… get us out of our comfort zone. “Hear ye the rod!“
The purpose of a rod is to bring the pain. It’s got no mouth but it speaks volumes. Let me illustrate. My nephew is a great kid but he can be every bit as stubborn as his uncle Jason. Mom can say, “Seth, stop that…” But he won’t pay her a bit of attention. She can say, “Stop that or I’ll call your dad…” and he’ll probably hand her the phone.
But when he hears Papa’s belt unbuckle and that pap-pap-pap sound it makes coming out of the belt loops… son, does he ever get cooperative! He knows he’s sinned and he’s real anxious to get it right. He hears the rod! And because he hears it, he might not have to feel it.
The problem we have in this country is the same problem Israel had. We FEEL the rod but we don’t HEAR it. “For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.” (Isaiah 9:13)
….MORE TO COME….
