Coming week's sun sch lesson touches upon the rebellion of man towards God in Psalm 2. The theme is repeated throughout Psalms with one being Psalm 36 in this week's bible reading program.
Time and again, men have rebelled against God. From the Exodus from Egypt when they wished that God had not brought them out, to when the Kings of both Israel and Judea did not revere God, to the rejection of Jesus Christ, to now where Atheism is widely accepted as a norm, men has always sought to rebel against God even though He has manifested Himself through His creation and revelation.
But the Psalms state upon God's judgement will come upon those who constantly rebel against Him. The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 over years when their journey to the promised land just takes over a few months. The rebellion by the Kings caused them to lose their empires and that became a reality when the empires of Assyria and Babylon invaded Israel and Judea and the Jews were exiled all over.
God's judgement will come again in His time. We have already witnessed several natural disasters (Tsunami, earthquakes), sicknesses (bird flu, dengue, SARS) and wars (Middle East conflict, Iraq-Afganistan war) all which points towards God's judgement coming soon.
The only way to turn away God's wrath is to keep to His Word, both in thoughs and actions as mentioned by the Psalmist.
Glory to God,
Jason
