They are deeply corrupted, As in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity; He will punish their sins. Hosea 9:9

What Israel did to the Lord, the holy God, indulging themselves in wicked behavior and corrupting their moral in the filthy sins is simply unbelievable. Today, the bed of numerous couples who call themselves Christians is not pure, for they were taught to commit moral perversion. Many say they belong to God, but they teach vile things that the lost practice.

These libertines laugh at those who obey the biblical teachings: only nature with nature is allowed (1 Corinthians 6:13). They distort the Word, like the Israelites did. Thus, they gather a large group of people who are not delivered and accept such aberration, for they believe that everything in them is holy. Mercy! Didn’t the worshipers of Baal, the lord of promiscuity do that as well? Stay alert! 

If there is true repentance, these people will be among those washed in the blood of Christ, who are not contaminated with the things of this world. Otherwise, they will be cast into eternal doom. The first group to stay out of the Kingdom of God are of the fornicators – without moral restraint (1 Corinthians 6:9,10). Are there limits for the saved? Yes, holiness. Israel was swept away by perversion and taken into captivity! 

Hosea calls the attention of the people in Gibeah, in the land of Benjamin, when a Levite, his concubine and his servant went to look for shelter in the city. Because they didn’t find a place to spend the night, they decided to sleep in the open square. However, when an old man saw that situation, he took them to his home. But the men of that city surrounded his house and ask the old man to give them the visitor in order to abuse him. The host offered his daughter and the man´s concubine in place of the traveler, but the sons of Belial rejected such offer (Judges 19). 

The prophet says that God will not forget these injustices. The Levite put the concubine out of the house, and the local men abused her all night long. Because of that, she died (Judges 19:22-30). That crime led Israel to go to war against the Benjaminites, and approximately 65,000 men in three battles died. According to Hosea, God will remember their sins. He will surely punish them for their actions. Things are serious with the Most High! 

Gibeah was from Benjamin, but they forgave the Canaanites in Jerusalem, when they should have taken all the land to exterminate once and for all the doers of things condemned by the Lord. Those Canaanites paid for the benefit they received by teaching the Israelites acts contrary to nature. That´s why the lost men of Gibeah wanted to abuse the man, raped the concubine which ended up killing her. 

The injustices committed by those who are introducing such acts amongst the people of God will cost them eternal torment. He who transgresses against the Truth will be punished.

In Christ, with love,
