What is God warning about human nature and the generations to come?
Human nature and its traits will continue down the line generation after generation. Patterns such as alcoholism repeat generation after generation. This is what God warned 1,500 years before Christ. Human makeup operates this way until the power of a sovereign God comes into that life.
Les explains that human nature operates like a child catching a butterfly and pulling its wings off, needing something beneath him to vent feelings on because he cannot compete with those above him. The same principle marks the whole human makeup until the power of a sovereign God comes into that life. Society is in its present condition because people have pushed God out of their thinking, schools, and homes, yet still decry what is going on. God warns that these human traits will take off down the line generation after generation; alcoholism is an example that often appears generation after generation. Les emphasizes that Scripture said this 1,500 years before Christ, not a modern discovery. The passage then moves to the third and fourth commandments about God's name and the Sabbath.
