Gad the Seer 363 And he read in the second book, and it was found to have inadvertent sins of His people, and the Lord said: ‘Put aside this book but save it, until one third of the month elapses, to see what they will do’.
- third of a month = 10 days → Revelation 2:10
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
- sons of perdition
Isaiah 29:24 And they that erred in spirit shall know understanding, and the murmurers shall learn obedience, and the stammering tongues shall learn to speak peace.
Proverbs 10:10 (LXX) He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men; but he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker.
They will learn to rebuke boldly.
Ask God to keep your heart for his people no matter what. Are you rebuking for the people or to save yourself? Are you only doing it because you were commanded to do it?
