A few verses to show the Mind of God
------------
And you ask yourself , Should Israel

Exod. 22 [20] He that sacrificeth unto any god,
save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Hos. 4 [6] My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also
forget thy children.
Rev. 2 [18] And
unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of
God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine
brass;
[19] I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy
patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
[20] Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou
sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and
to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto
idols.
[21] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented
not.
[22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery
with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
[23] And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth
the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your
works.
[24] But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as
many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as
they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
[25] But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
[26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him
will I give power over the nations:
[27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a
potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
[28] And I will give him the morning star.
[29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
Deut.13
[6] If
thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of
thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly,
saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor
thy fathers;
[7] Namely, of the gods of the people
which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one
end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
[8] Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall
thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
[9] But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall
be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the
people.
[10] And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die;
because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought
thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
[11] And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such
wickedness as this is among you.
Deut. 21 [18] If a
man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his
father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him,
will not hearken unto them:
[19] Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him
out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
[20] And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is
stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a
drunkard.
[21] And all the men of his city shall stone
him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among
you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
2 Kgs.2 - Elisha - [23] And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going
up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked
him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
[24] And he turned back, and looked on them, and
cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of
the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
[25] And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he
returned to Samaria.

Moses
Deut. 2 [34] And we
took all his cities at that time, and utterly
destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left
none to remain:
Deut. 3 [6] And we
utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly
destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
Deut. 7 [2] And when the
LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly
destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

Joshua
Josh. 6 [21] And they
utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old,
and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
1Sam.15 [1] Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to
anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou
unto the voice of the words of the LORD. [2] Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in
the way, when he came up from Egypt.
[3] Now
go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them
not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and
ass.
[1] On that day did the king Ahasuerus
give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai
came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
[2] And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and
gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
[3] And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his
feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the
Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
[4] Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther
arose, and stood before the king,
[5] And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his
sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes,
let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha
the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's
provinces:
[6] For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people?
or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
[7] Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai
the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have
hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
[8] Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name,
and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the
king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
[9] Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month,
that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was
written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the
lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India
unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province
according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language,
and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
[10] And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it with the
king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules,
camels, and young dromedaries:
[11] Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in
every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to
destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and
province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the
spoil of them for a prey,
[12] Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,
namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
[13] The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every
province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready
against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
[14] So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being
hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at
Shushan the palace.
[15] And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal
apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment
of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
[16] The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
[17] And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's
commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a
good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the
Jews fell upon them.

The enemy does the same thing
[1] After these things did king Ahasuerus
promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his
seat above all the princes that were with him.
[2] And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed,
and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But
Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
[3] Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto
Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
[4] Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he
hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's
matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
[5] And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence,
then was Haman full of wrath.
[6] And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had
shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the
Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of
Mordecai.
[7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of
king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day,
and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
[8] And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people
scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy
kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the
king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
[9] If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed:
and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have
the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
[10] And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman
the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
[11] And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the
people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
[12] Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the
first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded
unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province,
and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing
thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king
Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
[13] And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces,
to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day,
even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and
to take the spoil of them for a prey.
[14] The copy of the writing for a
commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that
they should be ready against that day.
[15] The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and
the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to
drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
Matt.2 [18] In Rama was there a voice heard,
lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel
weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
Jer. 31 [15] Thus saith the LORD; A voice was
heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel
weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they
were not.
Matt. 2 [16] Then Herod, when he saw that he was
mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the
coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time
which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Exod.1 [22] And Pharaoh charged all his people,
saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the
river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
