As murders continue to fascinate and overwhelm our nation and people, I am moved to cite the words of Exodus 34:7: Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children’s children to the third and fourth generation.
Murderers apparently feel that they are exempt from penalty, but the word of God says otherwise. We lack spirituality and respect for God and man in The Bahamas; so, our future and our children’s tomorrow become darker and dimmer with each new murder and other sinful deeds committed on our soil. Yes, punishment on children for the sin of their fathers, and on their children’s children to the third and fourth generation.
Oh the verdict which is on our young ones, because of the wicked transgressions of our fathers. It will only mount as more evildoing is perpetrated throughout our society by our sinful and decadent parents.
The problem in The Bahamas is grave sin and man’s heartlessness towards man – in my view. As the poet Robert Burns wrote: Man’s inhumanity to man… Makes countless thousands mourn!
We are indeed on the road to self-imposed grief and divine retribution, where wrongdoers will receive their just due. The secular courts might fail us, but God’s ruling will not.
Thank heaven for God is not like man.
