I just read the minor prophets again for the third time this year. I am struck by how many times that God says he is going to correct/punish various nations because they will not obey his commands and refuse to repent and turn back to God.
I have heard that God no longer punishes the nations; that the punishment was only in the old testament. But I keep reading the minor prophets and I see devestating natural disasters that have come upon contries in this last year and I have to question what I have been taught. It seems that God is still punishing nations in order to make them respond to him by repenting and turning back and putting their hope in Him again. My question is, is it working? Are their hearts too hard to listen and hear the cry of God to return to Him?
I pray for the people in the United States and all over the world. Please repent...head the discipline of God and obey His commands. Do not conform to this world but obey the commands of God.
