Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have ruined me, making me a stench to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites! My men are few in number, and the men of the land will band together against me and attack me; I shall be destroyed, I and my household.” But they said, “Should he [be permitted to] treat our sister a- s a prostitute?”- Genesis 34:30-31 AMP

Warrior;

If you are not familiar with this 34th chapter of Genesis, you should read the whole thing. It shows you why Jesus had to die on the cross. Jesus in the Garden, 3 TIMES, cried out to God the Father for another way. In the Gospel of Matthew 26:39–44 Jesus prays to God the Father: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” And He laments a Second and third prayer. It is written that Jesus returns twice more, praying “the same thing”. Jesus is asking, “If there is any other way, to reconcile fallen man with a Holy God”. Chapter 34 of Genesis shows us all, there was no other way. Dinah was Jacob’s daughter. They were in the land of Canaan and Dinah went out to meet the local ladies. She was violently violated by the son of the leader of the land. Dinah’s brothers find out and are enraged. They connive a plan to make the ‘rapists’ family believe they are willing to forgive and allow for their peoples to commingle, if all the men will honor their beliefs and get CIRCUMCISED. In order to appease Jacob for this egregious violation of Dinah, Hamor agrees- they made a covenant with Jacob. Hear the Word of the Lord; Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob’s sons—Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers—each took his sword and came upon the city undetected, and killed every male. (ibid v25) They killed all the males, knowing they would be too injured to fight and then took all the women and children as slaves. This chapter shows us how the problem is always MAN, and how AMAZING is GOD’S GRACE! These are God’s chosen people, just like you and I!

Leader, the anti-doctrinal belief that man is basically good is a lie from the pit of Hell! Hear the Word of the Lord: The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? For if anyone thinks he is something [special] when [in fact] he is nothing [special except in his own eyes], he deceives himself. What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? … neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. (Jeremiah 17:9, Galatians 6:3, 1 Corinthians 3:5,6) We think too much of ourselves and NOT ENOUGH about God. We are but dirt apart from God. We are reading of God’s chosen people. The line which Jesus would be incarnated. We must stop saying look how bad THEY were and realize: THEY are US! Man is the problem, actually it is the HEART OF MAN that is the problem. Consider the entire scope of the Bible is 1189 chapters, about 1200 chapters. Let’s follow the BROKEN HEART TRAIL. In Chapter 3 God kicked us out of the house: Therefore, the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden, along with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis 3:23-24) Six Chapters in, God REPENTS on creating man and destroyed the World, minus 8 people: Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth. (Genesis 6:13)

Conduit, 11 Chapters into this 1189 chapter book, God confuses the people, changes their language, and scatters them across the globe: So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth. (Genesis 11:8-9) What is missed by many is that at the Tower of Babel, God also DIS-INHERITED THE NATIONS. We can read about that in Deuteronomy 32:8-9. It is written; When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance. God the Father turned the 70 nations over to lesser elohim (angelic beings) and in the next chapter, Chapter 12, God calls out Abram from Mesopotamia. In the first 1% of the Bible, we BLEW IT; 3 times! The rest of the Bible, the other 99%, is GOD FIXING the problem called MAN! Hear the Word or the Lord; Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. (Hebrews 12:2, 2 Corinthians 5:17-19) It’s all about JESUS! This is why God calls us to be ALL IN, because HE IS ALL IN! He has PAID IN FULL! NO SHARED GLORY!
