Been reading the book of Ezra. It’s crazy to think that a whole nation really did put off their wives in form of repentance. They had to rip-off their other half. Something that had become part of their lives. Something as strong as family and blood, all in the name of repentance.
Could we ever do that in this generation? This event was based on the fact that one of the commands Moses had given the people of Israel was them not to do foreign marriages with the people who inhabited the land they received as a promise. This was because of their wickedness and God didn’t want His people to adopt that. But years down the line, people seem to have forgotten about it. Kind of like our current generation. Ezra was torn apart when he realized they had committed such a sin and a drastic measure was taken. They had to break off those marriages. That’s like breaking off the families entirely; some high level of true repentance.
Am reading this and am like, can our fallen generation ever come back and make a decision to reform everything about them just to dissociate with the worldly nature that has filled the churches today.
What would true repentance mean for a generation like ours?
