Demonstrating the correctness

and effectiveness of Divine judgment

5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as


the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the
land whither ye go to possess it.

6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and


your understanding in the sight of the nations. . .

THE KEY: 2 Chronicles 7:14


"If My People, which are called by My Name (the
Christians), shall humble themselves (not humble the
enemy), and seek My Face (My Law and My Will), and
turn from their wicked ways (turn from their disobedi-
ence to My Law); then (after they do all that) will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin (their transgres-
sion of My Law), and will heal their land."

Sin is "the transgression of the Law" (1 John 3:4). To


quit sinning, America must turn and obey God's Laws.

In addition to the money lost to the citizens for feeding murderers, many murderers, upon
release, commit robberies and assaults, and some kill again.

The above is for ftrst degree murder. (This would include aborticide.) Different provisions
are made in Bible Law for killing in self-defense, to stop the commission of a crime, for
accidental killing, and for killing in war. God requires execution of murderers, because
"the blood it deftleth the land; and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed
therein, but (except) by the blood of him that shed it." Our refusal to execute murderers
has deftled America's land.

Thieves who have been punished according to God's judgments (punishments) rarely steal
again, as they have had demonstrated to them that "crime does not pay." At the same
time, by this example, others learn not to steal. "When the scorner (or disobedient) is
punished, the simple is made wise ... " Proverbs 21:11. Parents and teachers know that
punishing one child for disobedience teaches all the rest not to disobey. Adults react the
same way, just as God's Word says.

When those who violate God's Laws are punished according to God's Judgments (punish-
ments), the citizens enjoy justice, order, quietness, and peace. God says: "When My
judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants ofthe world will learn righteousness" (Is. 26:9).
