DOES THE CREATOR REPENT? (Part 4)
5 – And He tried to do the same thing in the time of Jeremiah:
• Jeremiah 26.13 -> “Now therefore mend your ways and your deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, and the LORD will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you.”.
Abridging: the Creator has delight in finding opportunity to console Himself from the evil that is necessary to come in virtue of the sin of people. For this, He seeks way to find room in the hearts so that He can comfort Himself manifesting His grace, mercy, pardon, love in order to surmount all the turpitude (Rom 5:20).
Hence Jeremiah says:
• Jeremiah 18:7,8 -> “If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it.”.
Translating: When the Creator desires to save a nation or a kingdom, He sends His exhortation in order to find room in some heart to manifest His compassion. When He finds someone, He solaces Himself using His super abounding grace to overpower all the evil that was did there and spares people.
Hence the real sense of what the Creator said to Moses:
• Rom 9:15 -> “For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.””.
He has mercy and compassion of those who can be used by Him to comfort Himself of the evil that needs to come (to wit: being instrument of His grace).
And Jonah knew about this:
• Jonah 4.2 -> “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.”.
The Creator delights in promising good things (Jeremiah 29:11-14).
Have a grandiose day.
