The Character Of God

  foundation of Your throne Mercy and truth go
  before Your face.

5
But What About

• Deuteronomy 71-5 When the Lord your God brings
  you into the land which you go to possess, and
  has cast out many nations before you, the
  Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and
  the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites
  and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and
  mightier than you, 2 and when the Lord your God
  delivers them over to you, you shall conquer them
  and utterly destroy them. You shall make no
  covenant with them nor show mercy to them.

• 3 Nor shall you make marriages with them. You
  shall not give your daughter to their son, nor
  take their daughter for your son. 4 For they
  will turn your sons away from following Me, to
  serve other gods so the anger of the Lord will
  be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly.
  5 But thus you shall deal with them you shall
  destroy their altars, and break down their sacred
  pillars, and cut down their wooden images, and
  burn their carved images with fire.

Jericho

  the sword.

The Patience Of God

• Genesis 1516 But in the fourth generation they
  shall return here, for the iniquity of the
  Amorites is not yet complete.
• How long had it been since that promise to

9
The Justice Of God

• Archaeological discoveries, such as those at
  Ugarit, have revealed the corruptness of the
  Canaanite nations.
• In the Canaanite religion El was the chief god
  and Baal was his son. These were gods who had
  absolutely no concept of morality.
• In a poem known as The Birth of the Gods, El is
  said to have seduced two women, and horrible
  sexual perversions are associated with his name.
  He married three of his own sisterswho also were
  married to Baal. He is represented as practicing
  vile sex acts and influencing others to do
  likewise.

10

• In the Canaanite religion, homosexuals and
  prostitutes were employed to raise money for the
  support of the temples. It is not an exaggeration
  to say that these pagans elevated sex to the
  status of a god that sounds rather modern,
  doesnt it?.
• The Canaanite religion was a horribly brutal
  system as well. For instance, the goddess Anath
  is pictured as killing humans by the thousands
  and wading knee-deep in blood. She cut off heads
  and hands and wore them as ornaments. And in all
  of this gruesomeness, the Baal-epic says that her
  liver was swollen with laughter and her joy was
  great.

11

• Funerary jars have been found with the bodies of
  young children distorted by suffocation as they
  struggled for life after having been buried alive
  as a sacrifice to Canaanite gods. Such young
  children have been found in the foundation
  pillars of Canaanite houses, and sometimes
  religious ceremonies were associated with their
  sacrifice (Wilson, 1973, p. 85).
• Professor Kenneth Kitchen was correct when he
  remarked that the Canaanite religion appealed to
  the bestial and material in human nature as
  evinced by the Ugaritic texts and Egyptian texts
  of Semitic origin (see Douglas, 1980, 1234.).

12
The Love Of God

• Deuteronomy 2018 that they teach you not to do
  after all their abominations, which they have
  done unto their gods so would ye sin against
  Jehovah your God.
• Matthew 26 And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah,
  art in no wise least among the princes of Judah
  for out of thee shall come forth a governor, who
  shall be shepherd of my people Israel.
• Hebrews 714 For it is evident that our Lord hath
  sprung out of Judah as to which tribe Moses
  spake nothing concerning priests.

13
God Children

• First, understand that making bad choices not
  only affects us, but those around us!
• Matthew 1914 But Jesus said, Suffer the little
  children, and forbid them not, to come unto me
  for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.
• Colossians 115 who is the image of the invisible
  God, the firstborn of all creation.

14
In View Of Eternity

• This is no-longer such a problem.
• Children often adopt pagan practices of parents!
• These children were spared a life of misery and
  an eternal punishment!

15
The Sovereignty of God

• Psalm 2228 For the kingdom is the Lords, And He
  rules over the nations.
• Psalm 3310 The Lord brings the counsel of the
  nations to nothing He makes the plans of the
  peoples of no effect.
• Psalm 667 He rules by His power forever His
  eyes observe the nations Do not let the
  rebellious exalt themselves.
• Isaiah 4015 Behold, the nations are as a drop in
  a bucket, And are counted as the small dust on
  the scales Look, He lifts up the isles as a very
  little thing.

16
The Sovereignty of God

• Isaiah 4017 All nations before Him are as
  nothing, And they are counted by Him less than
  nothing and worthless.
• Psalm 917 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
  And all the nations that forget God.
• Psalm 3312 Blessed is the nation whose God is

  inheritance.
