Ezra 9:10-12 - “But now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commands you gave through your servants the prophets when you said: ‘The land you are entering to possess is a land polluted by the corruption of its peoples. By their detestable practices they have filled it with their impurity from one end to the other. Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them at any time, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.’
Deuteronomy 18:9 - When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.
Jeremiah 7:25 - From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets.
Exodus 34:15 - “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.
Joel 3:20 - Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem through all generations.
Application:
· Do I resort to the wrong sources for my information, guidance or revelation? Do I listen to the Lord’s prophets?
· Do I serve the Lord faithfully?
· Do I partake of things that invite compromise?
· When God’s judgment and redemption are consummated, His kingdom will endure and flourish eternally.
