POW

What do you think the following parallel passages mean regarding the wrath of God?

quote:
1 Samuel 23:1 Now again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and it incited David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”

and

quote:
1 Chron 21:1 Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel.

If we do a Hebrew word study on the two words "aph - anger" and "charah - burned" and when they occur together in the OT, there is often a sense of judgement. Could it be that God is using Satan as the expression of His anger in 1 Chron 21:1?

Anyone interested,

See the top two posts of this page of this thread: www.christusvictorministries.org/gbfront/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3140&whichpage=9

And notice also the quote from St. John of Damascus's Exact Exposition. He touches on what God has revealed in Scripture, and the limits of what we can know. My interests would be the same as his -- and not speculative.

Bye.
