SUFFER NOT THE CHILDREN

 BIBLE STUDY: PROVERBS LESSON #3  PROVERBS 1:8-19

NETTIE-ISM: Why is it that: Whatever is going on is discussed in whatever I am reading in the Bible? 

I look at what is happening in America today with the various rebellious groups, ANTIFA and Black Lives Matters, not to mention Occupy Wallstreet from a few years ago. Families are in disarray; father’s are either physically or emotionally absent, mother’s find greater satisfaction outside of the home than inside. 

DEUTERONOMY 9:13 KING JAMES VERSION

Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 

Has America become such a rebellious nation that we will suffer the consequences of our actions for generations to come? 

PROVERBS 1:8-19 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother;
9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, and chains about your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait to shed blood; let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down to the Pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of precious possessions, we shall fill our houses with spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us, let us all have one purse”—
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them, keep your foot from their path;
16 For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely, in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood, they lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its owners.

Far to many parents are not parenting our children. “So, my son, pay attention to your father’s guidance, and do not ignore what your mother taught you—” (Proverbs 18 THE VOICE). This has allowed demonic forces to influence them. While one generation is creating havoc in the street and the unborn are being slaughtered another is being abused sexually. 

Who is warning our children? “My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them.” (Proverbs 1:10 NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION). 

I see it! I see the rising number of young men being murdered, the number of child deaths and I hear of the thousands of abortions done daily. “My son, do not walk in the way with them, keep your foot from their path; for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.” (Proverbs 1:15-16 NEW KING JAMES VERSION)I see the growing number of young people who reject the Word of YHWH; they reject the tradition of going to church that their parents have. I see mothers crying in the street, angry, because their child is dead.

Solomon warns us: 

PROVERBS 1:18-19 THE VOICE

These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves! Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.

Our children are lead to their own destruction. 

ISAIAH 54:13 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.

There is no peace among our children because Yeshua, Jesus, is not being taught. Do you have a personal relationship with Him?
