THE PRIESTLY PERSPECTIVE
It is a hard times indeed all over the world as we mourn
people killed in terrorists attacks.
The world also has delve into the political history of such
mass killings amongst others to discover the brain behind such heinous killings
one will posit reasons as being political power, economic power, religious
power, hatred e.t.c. but has concluded that with all diligence no reason should
be enough to justify all these human waste.
The world witnessed holocaust, perpetuated in Germany by one
whose ambition is to conquer the world and rule therein but that he hated a
tribe and wanted its extermination is another thing altogether.
Countries has also experienced genocides caused by ambitious
leaders who want to cling to power by all means.
The foundation of killing started in the garden of Eden, by Cain who became jealous of his
brother Abel’s success. Since then the world know no peace.
The world was drawn to other types of killing in the Holy
Bible and such killings was either ordered by God or done to appease His anger.
In Numbers 25:1-13, the Israelites journeyed through the
wilderness on their way to Canaan Land, and abode in Shittim, and the people
began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab and joined them to serve
Baal. God became angry and started to destroy the Israelites. The Israelites
began to seek the face of God to avert His anger, another man went and took a Moabite woman as a sin
partner and Phinehas became angry, took a javelin and trust them through in the
tent and they died. God spoke to Moses in verse 10, “And the Lord spake unto
Moses saying, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned My wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for My
sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy,
wherefore say, Behold I give unto him My covenant of peace, And he shall have
it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood,
because he was zealous for his God, and
made an atonement for the children of Israel.”
From the above we can see that there are killings that appeases
God and the ones that He frowns at. God
frowns at the killing of an innocent man and He orders the killings of a sinner
that has refused to repent, He can do that spiritually or physically using a
human instrument.
We have examples of people who murderered innocent ones for
jealousy and envy, Cain, Jezebel who
killed innocent Naboth to covet his land, King Saul who killed the
priests because he envied David and so many others, there are others who were
consumed and killed at the presence of Moses, Elijah, Elisha e.t.c.
WHERE DOES OMAR MATEEN BELONG IN THESE.?
When people indulge in sin and think that God will keep
quiet, then they are mistaken.
The people of Sodom indulged in sodomy and God sent angels
in form of humans to destroy the city with brimstone and fire. In our world of
today people resume the act of sodomy and were exporting it to other parts of
the world just to provoke the destruction of the world. I remember when they
landed in Nigeria, they went straight to the National Assembly to prevail on them
to have a bill of gay passed into law, they really shook the entire nation.
America took it to herself to sell it to Mr, Goodluck Jonathan and Mr. Muhammed
Buhari as a condition for help, she was
told that the culture is against Nigeria’s public policy.
My question is,
between Gays and Omar Mateen who killed each other?
When people indulge in various kinds of sin, the innocent
suffers in various ways, the growing innocent children are the most endangered,
for they will think it is a normal norm and they will grow to emulate same.
when God’s punishment come the whole people suffers, that is why our world is
full of suffering today. So many conflicts between the Wheat and the Tares.
Omar Mateen has paid his debt, the world is trying to
discover who he is, but the only testimony that is accruing to him is given by
his father who said that Mateen hates to see where two men are kissing. Sin
destroy our world so fast and the enemy of Creator right now is happy for man’s
staying away from God and the devastation that is ongoing.
Many will be facing the charges of murder, holocaust,
genocide before God, while others like Mateen will be facing the charge of
abatement of nuisance, but all judgement remain God’s discretion.
There is only two life, a life of everlasting destruction
and a life of everlasting life with God.
A TIME FOR DECISION TAKING.
