After God had revealed to Israel the punishment that would befall them if they failed to obey His commandments, He expected them to be obedient. However, Israel took no heed to obey the Lord. They soon forgot the word of God and descended further into idolatry. Be warned, and avoid the deadly and devastating consequence of sin and backsliding. The Lord has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, so live as one that can be called home at any time.

The eye is the window of the soul. What you set your eyes upon controls your thoughts and will eventually determine your action. David set his eyes upon the naked body of Uriah's wife and his thoughts were affected leading to the sins of immorality and murder. Be careful of what you think upon because the thought of foolishness is sin - Proverbs 24:9.

The imagination of sinners is always vain and against God. Although, the Lord wanted them to multiply and fill the whole earth, the men of Babel imagined to build a city and a tower that will reach unto heaven. By their rebellious imagination, they wanted to dwell together in Babel that they may not be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Because their minds were not renewed, their deeds were evil, unacceptable and against the perfect will of God.

It is foolishness to strive with your Maker. Broken pieces of pottery may strive with themselves but the clay cannot argue with the potter about how it should be fashioned : "If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him?" - 1 Samuel 2:25a. Like a lump of clay every man should allow the Potter to do whatever He pleases with them.

The fact that many Churches are not preparing their members for the coming of the Messiah, is a strong indication that we are in the last days. Their worldly lives appear to be mocking the promise of His coming. They have forgotten that every word of God must surely come to pass at His appointed time. Jesus said, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also. At His ascension, the angels said, this same Jesus, which is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.
