Egypt have now about expired compare Ky, |
2S, and xxxiii.. 3Sl, and they are again at the |
borders of the promised land. or the history |
OF those thirty eight years we know almost |
nothing: IL was time lost because of disobe. |
dience, and they have made no progress. |
Here is brought before us wcghty prnci- |
pie which we do well to consider. When |
Alram LEFT Bethel and went down to Egypt 1
because of the famine h. was out OF com |
munion with God, aud found only trouble |
until he got back to Bethel. Gen xii, 10; !
xiii. ~. When he listened to Sarai con |
ceinng llagar, which was suggestion
of the flesh, We find blank in his life OF |
thirteen years Vien. xvi, III; xvii, l.D III |
you would reconcile the apparent discrep-
ancy between the $50 years OF Kings vi, /,
and the jlj years Of Acts Kilt, II u, Plus
Davds so and of Solomon, total 5ii, you
have only to add up the lost time OF the cap
tivities OF Judges iii. :, IL; iv - j; Vi, !;
xiii |. which gives you Hi lost years when
the nation was out Of fellowship with God
because OF sin this subtracted from ji3 gives
4SO and proves both records correct. When
we can look at things from Gods standpoint
we shall inl all the apparent contradictions
in Scripture vanish AS mist before the sun.
In the law Of the Na,arite Mum. vi, ~
whenever bn was detiled by any uncleauncss,
I the days of his dcicmcnt were lost: 50 every
| day or hour III which We are not practically
separated to Goj is just time lost for all :
ns lost that is not done in fellowship with
/ God.
