The first time I remember it happening was on 911, then in
the aftermath of Katrina, and now again on the heels of Orlando this so called
reaction of these events being a punishment from YHWH. I expect the world to
proclaim that YHWH is responsible for tragedy but for true Christians to
proclaim these things is blasphemy. If you are simply religious then you are
used to justifying your own hate and desires as being the will of YHWH but if
you truly desire YHWHs will and life to abide within you then listen to the
things I am about to show you.
First understand that death is a result of sin not a
punishment for it…for the wages of sin is death. Second YHWH is no respecter of
people and if you offend in one transgression of the law you have transgressed
the law…for it is one word. Yeshua said I did not come to condemn men but to
save men for they are already condemned.
In another place Yeshua asked those listening about a
certain tower that fell and killed several people. His question was do you
think these men were greater sinners than others; to which He said they were
not.
People also like to point to Sodom and Gomora, but in truth YHWH
came against these cities because they had given themselves over completely to
sin and as such would have destroyed not only themselves but all around them. If
they had listened to YHWHs messengers instead of trying to use them for their
own desires they would have saved their cities just as YHWH had already told
Abraham…if there are ten righteous men I will spare the city for their sakes.
YHWH is not a hypocrite: He does not do evil that good may
come. YHWH does not lie and He has proclaimed that He so loved the world. Through Paul YHWH has described love.
4Charity suffereth
long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up, 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the
truth; 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things.1 Corinthians 13:4-7
The tragedy of those who were killed in Orlando is the act
of a wicked man lost in a wicked world. A man who found his own wicked way and
would not repent and place his faith in YHWH and His Messiah. The word wicked
while associated with evil deeds is by definition twisted.
His motive in this
act was selfish whether he did this because of a personal temptation he did not
morally ascent to or if he was trying to please a god of his own making.
Consider Cain who was moved to murder his own brother because he desired to
serve a god who would accept him on Cain’s own terms.
YHWH hates sin because it destroys people and He loves
people. Those who died left behind mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and
friends who have suffered a horrible loss. Can anyone believe that Yeshua would
be anything but comforting and encouraging to those who are left behind?
