The separation of the Spirits, part 2 , in the end-time, defined by John, in Revelation 22, verse 11, He thats unjust, let him be unjust still: and he Which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he thats righteous let him be righteous still: and he thats holy, let him be holy still. The characteristics of the end-time process, are not kettle to discern. We go to the land promise. In this context, it is good to stand still, with the promise land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants. This promise is unshakable : And the Lord appeared unto Abram , and said , Unto thy seed will I give this land , Genesis 12 verse 7 . Only the question is, when God fills completely, this promise. One question, which can handle difficult mankind. Abraham and Sarai struggled for example, with the promise of a posterity. Not the promise itself, but the time, when would-be fulfilled this moment, led to confusion. And so came the consideration, at Sarai : Behold now , the Lord hath restrained me from bearing : I pray thee , go in unto my maid ; it may be that I may obtain children by her ! As a result, And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai , Genesis 16 verse 2. Tragically, the current Middle East conflict, can be traced back, in part, on this human impatience. The Arab nations that emerged after all, from Ishmael claim, on the basis of the Koran, the heirship of Gods promises to Abraham. Ishmael, so the reasoning goes, was still the eldest son (of Abraham). According to Islam, is the Bible, in its current form, not authentic, but distorted by the Jews to demonstrate that they are the chosen people, and that Palestine belongs to them. But Abram was not just waiting for the fulfillment of the promise son, also the land promise would only be redeemed, in Gods time. We read in Genesis 15 verses 13 till 16 , And he said unto Abram , Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs and shall serve them ; and they shall afflict them four hundred years . And also that nation , whom they shall serve , will I judge : and afterwards shall they come out with great substance . But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again : for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full . Except, that sees the prophecy over 400 years of Egyptian oppression, and the subsequent redemption of Israel waited for the appropriation of the promised land, at the time, that was made full the measure of the sins, of the Canaanite nations Moses, referred to this principle when he said: Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land : but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee , and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Deuteronomy 9 , verse 5 . Leviticus 18 verses 25 till 28 , Gods reason : And the land is defiled : therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it , and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants . Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgements , and shall not commit any of these abominations ; neither any of your own nation , nor any stranger that sojourneth among you . For all these abominations have the men of the land done , which were before you and the land is defiled . That the land spue not you out also , when ye defile it , as it spued out the nations that were before you . Tomorrow part 3 .
