Prophesies Pertaining To Our Days


An Exception To The Rule

     Sometimes when we are studying the Word of God, it can be disheartening, if we are reading a portion wherein an entire nation is cursed; especially, when it is a nation that we are affiliated with.  However, I assure you that no matter whom we are, we can break away from the norm and each of us can have the opportunity of developing a personal relationship with the Lord, if we will try.  The following three examples became an exception to the rule:  A Midianite, a citizen of Jericho, and a Moabite.


Kenite:


     Now Moses, tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, drove the flock into the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

Exodus 3:1 (Torah)


     The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Assail the Midianites and defeat them―for they assailed you by the trickery they practiced against you―because of the affair of Peor and because of the affair of their kinswoman Cozbi, daughter of the Midianite chieftain, who was killed at the time of the plague on account of Peor.”

Numbers 25:16-18 (Torah)


     The descendants of the Kenite, the father-in-law of Moses, went up with the Judites from the City of Palms to the wilderness of Judah; and they went and settled among the people on the Negeb of Arad.

Judges 1:16 (Tanakh)


Rahab:


     In the towns of the latter peoples, however, which the LORD your God is giving you as a heritage, you shall not let a soul remain alive.  No, you must proscribe them―the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites―as the LORD your God has commanded you, lest they lead you into doing all the abhorrent things that they have done for their gods and you stand guilty before the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 20:16-18 (Torah)


     So the young spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father and her mother, her brothers and all that belonged to her―they brought out her whole family and left them outside the camp of Israel…Only Rahab the harlot and her father’s family were spared by Joshua, along with all that belonged to her, and she dwelt among the Israelites―as is still the case.

Joshua 6:23-25 (Tanakh)


Please refer to the book of Joshua, chapter 2, in order to review this story.


     By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.

Hebrews 11:31 (NIV)


     David and Jesus Christ descended from Rahab.


Ruth:


     No Ammonite or Moabite shall be admitted into the congregation of the LORD; none of their descendants, even in the tenth generation, shall ever be admitted into the congregation of the LORD, because they did not meet you with food and water on your journey after you left Egypt, and because they hired Balaam son of Beor, from Pethor of Aram-naharaim, to curse you.

Deuteronomy 23:4-5 (Torah)


     But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Turn back, each of you to her mother’s house…But Ruth replied, “Do not urge me to leave you, to turn back and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God.  Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus and more may the LORD do to me if anything but death parts me from you.”

Ruth 1:8-17 (Tanakh)


     Ruth was a Moabite princess, who sacrificed children to the god, Molech; before she married the son of an Israelite, whose mothers name was Naomi.  David and Jesus Christ are descendants of Ruth.

      And in addition:  A multitude of people will become an exception to the rule, because they repented of their sins and sought to obey the Laws of Moses and put their faith in Jesus Christ.   


     After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.  They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.  And they cried out in a loud voice:  “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."  ...  Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes ―who are they, and where did they come from?”… And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb…

Revelation 7:9-17 (NIV)
