--GOD'S CONFLICT with the way things are (Judgement)

 

     "In the fourth generation they will return here (to Canaan), for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."--Genesis 15:16

 

     "The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men."--Romans 1:18

--COMMITMENT to God's Word

 

     "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success."--v. 8

 

     haga--to mutter, utter, speak

 

     "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I do not come to abolish but to fulfill.  Truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished."--Matthew 5:17-18
