以色列的不顺服
尽管上帝为以色列做了这些:
- 他准备埃及最好的土地
- 当上帝摧毁埃及时保护以色列不染瘟疫
- 当以色列离开埃及时上帝准备很多财富
- 在旷野之行中他供应和保护以色列
- 他有权能掌管受造物以及
- 他审判不顺服和不相信…
…以色列继续不顺服上帝并拒绝相信他。
诗篇78:9-11
以法莲的子孙带着兵器,拿着弓,临阵之日转身退后。
他们不遵守神的约,不肯照他的律法行;
又忘记他所行的和他显给他们奇妙的作为。
祈祷以色列人民认识上帝的信实并承认他们的不忠信。

Schroeder delayed returning to Germany. he even devised a plan to wreck the ship off the coast of Britain so they would be taken in. Finally, Britain, Belgium and France agreed to share the asylum of the passengers.
