"The History of Disunity"

Описание: Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


Disunity between man and God, and man and man, goes all the way back to the beginning. There was no disunity in the paradise God created for man and woman to live in until sin entered the human race. Sin is the cause of all disunity anywhere and everywhere. Somebody does something that’s not supposed to be done or doesn’t do something that’s supposed to be done. God authors unity because He loves it; Satan authors and loves disunity. God loves peacemakers.


The firstborn human killed his brother right off the bat (Gen.4). Before long we have this statement, “The earth was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence,” provoking God to destroy the earth with a flood (Gen.6-7). God created nations for a good reason (Acts 17:26-27). They had become unified against God so He gave them different languages to scatter them “that they should seek the Lord.”


There was disunity between the Father of Faith and his nephew Lot causing them to separate. Abraham went to war against the Canaanites who invaded his land and kidnapped Lot (Gen.14). There was conflict between Abe’s two sons, creating a home divided (Gen.21:8-21). There was disunity in Isaac’s family between his two sons, Jacob and Esau (Gen.27:41). Joseph’s brothers hated him and sold him into slavery (Gen.37:1-28). Israel was in constant conflict with its Canaanite neighbors (Joshua, Judges, Samuel). After King Solomon died Israel was divided into two nations and they were in constant disunity. Israel and Judah were in constant conflict against the nations around them. Assyria conquered Israel and then Babylon conquered Judah. After the remnant returned to Jerusalem there was disunity between them and the surrounding nations (Ezra & Nehemiah).
