What our sins do to us, others
and every thing around us
The first and second Temples were burnt down in the fifth month, tenth
day of the month of God's calendar. (the first by the Babylonians in
586 B.C. and the second by the Romans in 70 A.D) Although this month is
primarily meant to understand why Jerusalem and the Temples's destruction took
place, it is appropriate to consider the examples set forth for us of sin and
judgment.
[1] And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of
the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which
he was pleased to do,
Some thought: In this month in history there are many other tragedies
of the Jewish people, most notably the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in
1492 and in the year 1290 an edict was signed that forced the Jews to leave
England.

Our Sins
Isa.59[1] Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that
it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Jer. 5[25] Your iniquities have turned away these things,
and your sins have withholden good things from you.
John 9[31] Now we know that God heareth not
sinners: but if any man be worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

backsliding
Prov.14[14] The backslider in heart -
Jer.2[19] Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings
shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter,
that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee,
saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Jer.3[6] The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast
thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every
high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
[8] And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed
adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous
sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
[11] And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself
more than treacherous Judah. [12] Go and proclaim these words toward the north,
and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause
mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will
not keep anger for ever.
[14] Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto
you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring
you to Zion:
[22] Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.
Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
Jer.5[6] Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf
of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities:
every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions
are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Jer.8[5] Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual
backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Jer.14[7] O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for
thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
Jer.31[22] How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for
the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
H7728 heathen: - backsliding.
H7726
Jer.49[4] Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O
backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come
unto me?
Hos.4[16] For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD
will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
H5637
Hos.11[7] And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called
them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
Hos.14[4] I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine
anger is turned away from him.

5 matches - bill of divorcement
Deut.24[1] When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to
pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness
in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand,
and send her out of his house. [2] And when she is departed out of his house,
she may go and be another man's wife.[3] And if the latter husband hate her,
and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth
her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his
wife;
Isa.50[1] Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement,
whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions
is your mother put away.
Jer.3[8] And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed
adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous
sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Mark.10[1] And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea
by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as
he was wont, he taught them again.
[2] And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man
to put away his wife? tempting him.
[3] And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
[4] And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to
put her away.
[5] And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart
he wrote you this precept.
[6] But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
[7] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to
his wife;
[8] And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but
one flesh.
[9] What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Deut.28[20] The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke,

seek my life, to take it away.

the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?

the Lord GOD of hosts.

in a land that is not yours.

Shalom -
Please be careful this 5th month of God (
known as Av by Judaism, not scripture). Remember Jerusalem and both Temples were burned down to the
ground. Our enemy satan is aware of this, expect high spiritual and physical
activity. Pray, fast and read. Get a hold of God.
1Kgs.9
[2] That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared
unto him at Gibeon.
[3] And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication,
that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast
built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be
there perpetually.
[4] And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have
commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
[5] Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for
ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee
a man upon the throne of Israel.
[6] But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children,
and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you,
but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
[7] Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them;
and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight;
and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
[8] And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall
be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus
unto this land, and to this house?
[9] And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God,
who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold
upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath
the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
[2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins
have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
