“And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.”
Judges 21:15 KJV
The people were remorseful and had compassion on the tribe of Benjamin because Yahweh had taken out a tribe of Israel. Time and again, Yahweh had mercy when His people repented on behalf of others. David said, “We have all sinned so much, just like our fathers…”; and Jeremiah and Daniel too later. God heard their prayers. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Jesus started His ministry by saying, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” After His resurrection He said “repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations..”. That is what the Lord Jesus wants for the Body of Christ to become united in preaching repentance and remission of sins to all nations. This is what Yahweh wants and let’s do it! Amen!
