00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
Nahum, chapter 3, verse 6, I will throw filth

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:06.240
on you and make you vile and set you up as a

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.779
spectacle. Here, God's revenge will not be in

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:11.400
a secret place or without everyone knowing. It

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.039
will not be at the end of life by sending them

00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.820
to hell. It will be a spectacle. They will look

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:20.079
and see something totally out of place as if

00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.800
one who was... seemingly prosperous and victorious

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.199
is ruined in a very public way. It isn't going

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.500
to be nice or gentle. It isn't going to be pleasant

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.019
for sure. The more you've gotten away with publicly

00:00:30.019 --> 00:00:32.500
not following God, the more the public humiliation

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:34.880
when he takes his vengeance. The media doesn't

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.320
like to play their part in this. As much as they

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.079
love to show ruin, they are not quick to give

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.859
God glory. Even the church is extremely cautious

00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:44.820
to recognize his action in this way because everyone

00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:47.299
wants to think of God as a giant teddy bear God.

00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:50.409
But God will not be mocked. He can, and when

00:00:50.409 --> 00:00:52.869
it's appropriate, does bring people down. He

00:00:52.869 --> 00:00:54.909
can do it publicly, and when people deserve it

00:00:54.909 --> 00:00:57.070
for their evil, he doesn't have to be nice about

00:00:57.070 --> 00:00:59.049
it. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

00:00:59.270 --> 00:01:01.850
His wrath is just as real as his love.
