2 Samuel 6
David gathers 30,000 men to bring the Ark of the true God. It is placed on a wagon. Then it nearly falls so Uzzah grabs hold of it. Because Uzzah touches the Ark, God gets angry so he kills Uzzah. And David becomes angry and fearful at the same time. So David decides not to bring the Ark to Jerusalem. It stays in the house of Obed Edom the Gittite and God blesses him and all his house. So finally David decides to bring the Ark to Jerusalem. Michal Saul's daughter and David ‘s wife has an argument with David because he celebrated the coming of the Ark to Jerusalem. And he did it by dancing in front of everybody and Michal told him it was not correct for a king. And she kept barren all her life !
- There is often a great difference between God’s will and man’s will!
- And there are always consequences, often bad ones but men still don’t understand!
- Apparently that’s the same chorus centuries after centuries!
- And men still don’t understand!
- And they are surprised but if they knew just a bit more the Bible they shouldn’t be surprised!
- Unfortunately, the next surprise will be destructive!
- But a human being is supposed to evolve to become an adult!
- Apparently, it’s rarely the case because he keeps behaving like a baby who never understands!
- Sooner or later we must become adult and if we refuse we must assume the consequences!
- That’s life, nothing to be sad or happy about!
- We may decide to take the train or not!
- We should remember Uzzah: he died because he touched Yah.weh’s ark because he wanted to avoid the ark from falling!
- But it was forbidden!
- For men, it is usual to disrespect Yah.weh!
- Throughout human history, they have been doing it all the time!
- Even those who were supposed to respect him!
- They paid the price!
- They will keep paying the price till the end!
- But it will be nothing compared to what they will pay when Jesus comes back as a warrior and not as a baby!
- Apparently they like it!
- Well, this time the cup will be full!
 
Looking for Samuel
2 Samuel 7
- When David is settled in his own house and God has given peace to him, he says to Nathan the prophet that it is not proper for God not to have a temple. But God tells him that his son will build God’s temple. God blesses David and he will do the same with his son forever!
- But there are limits to God’s patience and David will go too far and his son Solomon will do worse by worshiping other gods because of his numerous wives and concubines.
- Warnings everywhere but men are deaf and superficial!
- And the Israelites lost their privileges!
- In fact, they never took advantage of them!
- Because they didn’t care about Yah.weh!
- And men keep following the same path!
- Good luck!
- Yes, it is incredible to think how men are deaf and superficial!
- First, they think about their own interests!
- Second, they think about their own interests!
- We can see it every day on our planet!
- But Yah.weh is fed up with men who can only destroy life on earth!
- They don’t respect Yah.weh’s creation!
- Yah.weh won’t respect them either!
- He will strike them as he has never done before!
- Then it will be possible to turn the earth into a paradise!
