A Sobering Thought

Thinking about Gen 15.16 this morning. Apparently there comes a time when the iniquity of a nation is complete. At that point, God moves in judgment against that nation. So it was with the Amorites at the time of Joshua. In Genesis 15, the iniquity of the Amorites is not complete. By the time of the Exodus, it is complete.

Where does that leave my own country? I don't know, but we would certainly seem to be filling up the cup of our iniquity as fast as we possibly can, not that a nation that is filled with sin would even recognize God's judgment when it arrived. There are always alternative explanations. This is the nature of the blindness caused by sin. It is a most sobering thought.
