MOAB: of the Father

Moab literally means of the Father. In earlier readings, I couldn't figure out whether this referred to the father of my sons, or the family of my father.

(Amos means lifted up (when my ex lifted me up literally!) and here where MOab will be salt pits)

So now, God names the sins of these people. Why? It shows his power that before they were even created, he already knew or fore-knew their failings and his justice was already there. This is different from the God who regrets things, makes mistakes and such. This is the Father, Our Father in Heaven, who knows all things, and loves all people and gives a way out, that is, doing what is right.

So let's break down the words.

“For three sins of Ammon (kinsman)

even for four, I will not relent.

Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead (heap of testimony)

in order to extend his borders,

14I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah (the great/big)

that will consume his fortresses

amid war cries on the day of battle,

amid violent winds on a stormy day.

15The king e will go into exile,

he and his officials together,”

(Amos 1:13-15)

I don't know who this is, but because it says Ammon, kinsman, I'm thinking it is my family. However, I was ripped open cesarian because of the father's consent, so that could be him also.

(Amos 2)

1This is what YHWH says:

“For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not relent. Because he burned to ashes the bones of Edom’s king, 2I will send fire on Moab that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth. (Compact city or citadel) Moab will go down in great tumult amid war cries and the blast of the trumpet. 3I will destroy his ruler and kill all her officials with him,”

Edom means red, and the ones who are reddish are the family of the dad of my son. The reading seems to indicate that they killed one of their own, an old man, a "king" of their own. For this, their compound will burn. His ruler and their officials will be destroyed.

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Judah (Praise or one of the chosen), even for four, I will not relent. Because they have rejected the law of the Lord and have not kept his decrees, because they have been led astray by false gods, the gods their ancestors followed, 5I will send fire on Judah that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel (Israel means one who fought with God)

6This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not relent. They sell the innocent for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.

7They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed.

Father and son use the same girl (gross, this is the father of my sons) and so profane my holy name.

8They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. In the house of their god they drink wine taken as fines.

9“Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them, though they were tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed their fruit above and their roots below. 10I brought you up out of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to give you the land of the Amorites.

11“I also raised up prophets from among your children and Nazirites from among your youths. (The dad used to not drink) Is this not true, people of Israel?” declares the Lord.

12“But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.

13“Now then, I will crush you as a cart crushes when loaded with grain. 14The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life. 15The archer will not stand his ground, the fleet-footed soldier will not get away, and the horseman will not save his life. 16Even the bravest warriors will flee naked on that day,”

The father of my son keeps my son in their compound which is like a closed place. There I cannot enter. Yet here, God willlay it to ruins. I'm not sure if this speaks of my father's family because I don't think they had any incest where father and son use the same woman.

1Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:

2“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”

Why should the "innocent" women who have fornicated on each other be punished, they might think.

3Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?

No. They are no longer innocent in repetition and consent.

4Does a lion roar in the thicket when it has no prey? Does it growl in its den when it has caught nothing? 5Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there? Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything?

Basically, it takes two to tango. And therefore,

6When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?

Please know whom this justice is from.

7Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

Please know that I am that servant and prophet.

8The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken— who can but prophesy?

I am just following my God.

9Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod (thieves or diffusion: meaning after stealing, they diffuse the money to many places)

and to the fortresses of Egypt: (Mizraim means to lay siege and bind, distress and bind: something that they might have also done which is why they will get this penalty exactly)

“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria (Samaria means kept or guarded); see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people.”

10“They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord, “who store up in their fortresses what they have plundered and looted.”

11Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.”

12This is what the Lord says:

“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued, with only the head of a bed and a piece of fabric from a couch. ”

13“Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.

14“On the day I punish Israel for his sins, I will destroy the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.

(The horns falling off the altar is equivalent to God cutting off the father of my son's penis. It is a way of saying he will not have any power after this.)

15I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed and the mansions will be demolished,”

says YAHWEH

And here to the cows of Bashan (fruitful)

(meaning the women)

who live on Mount Samaria ( at a protected or kept place: now being guarded)

You oppress the poor,

you crush the needy.

You say to your husbands,

bring us more to drink!

The sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his own holy character:

Certainly the time is approaching when you will be carried away in baskets,

every last one of you in fishermen's pots.

each will go straght through the gaps of the walls,

You will be thrown out toward Harmon

So even the wives will be cast to another place. I am not sure if this is just for the father of my son or for my father's family. I pray that all of them can do what is right so that all of this won't have to happen. This is what this publication is here for. While it has not happened, there is a path and freedom to do what is good.

Psalm 90

7For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.

8You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret [sins] in the light of Your presence.

9For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.

10As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is [but] labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away.

11Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?

12So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

13Do return, O LORD; how long [will it be]? And be sorry for Your servants.

14O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Know that Yahweh is just. As much as his anger is fierce, his love is even greater for the righteous and for those who have a heart of wisdom: that is to hate evil and love good.
