The Power and Consequences of Evil Influences!!!
This is the heart of man when left to himself. “Then one of the Israelites came and presented to his relatives a Midianite woman, in the site of Moses and the whole congregation of the Israelites, while they were weeping [over God’s judgment] at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle)” (Numbers 25: 6, AMP). As God was pronouncing judgment, he was bold enough to attempt to commit fornication right before the eyes of the LORD.
His witchcraft is confirmed by this scripture. “The foolishness of man undermines (perverts) his way [ruining whatever he undertakes]; then his heart is resentful and rages against the LORD [for, being a fool, he blames the LORD instead of himself]” (Proverbs 19: 3, AMP). It is a fool who runs to sin without weighing the consequences.
While the congregation was wallowing in self-pity, one man took action. A form of true repentance. “When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw this, he left the congregation and took a spear in his hand, and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and pierced both of them through the body, the man of Israel and the woman. Then the plague on the Israelites stopped. Nevertheless, those [Israelites] who died in the plague numbered 24,000” (Numbers 25: 7-9, AMP).
The Holy Spirit is making it obvious why plagues have and will take so many. Because we lack true remorse and the willingness to take action. To “stamp out sin”. Along with the willingness to embrace and accept accountability and responsibility for our own lusts and desires.
