God's Public Justice Nahum 3:6 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  Nahum, chapter 3, verse 6, I will throw filth
• 0:04
  on you and make you vile and set you up as a
• 0:06
  spectacle. Here, God's revenge will not be in
• 0:08
  a secret place or without everyone knowing. It
• 0:11
  will not be at the end of life by sending them
• 0:14
  to hell. It will be a spectacle. They will look
• 0:17
  and see something totally out of place as if
• 0:20
  one who was... seemingly prosperous and victorious
• 0:22
  is ruined in a very public way. It isn't going
• 0:25
  to be nice or gentle. It isn't going to be pleasant
• 0:27
  for sure. The more you've gotten away with publicly
• 0:30
  not following God, the more the public humiliation
• 0:32
  when he takes his vengeance. The media doesn't
• 0:34
  like to play their part in this. As much as they
• 0:37
  love to show ruin, they are not quick to give
• 0:39
  God glory. Even the church is extremely cautious
• 0:41
  to recognize his action in this way because everyone
• 0:44
  wants to think of God as a giant teddy bear God.
• 0:48
  But God will not be mocked. He can, and when
• 0:50
  it's appropriate, does bring people down. He
• 0:52
  can do it publicly, and when people deserve it
• 0:54
  for their evil, he doesn't have to be nice about
• 0:57
  it. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
• 0:59
  His wrath is just as real as his love.
