Why Was God So Angry At David For Taking The Census? 

Yes! Also…who can truly number “Israel”…meaning who can number those who overcome with God. Only God knows…It was told to Abraham that his seed would be as the sands of the sea. Who can count that. Its a spiritual connotation.that’s why it was a great sin…Pray your in that number!

This is it in a nutshell

So the people have no freewill, they just treated as slaves? Why punish the poor people for the crimes of the King? Men, women and children struck dead by an Angel .... That is NOT justice.

@@davidarmstrong1862 do not blaspheme in matters you do not understand. David was shown the weight of His crown and the importance of His obedience and complete reliance on the true King of Israel. Israel was NOT to be like any other nation on earth because they were chosen by God and they carried His Name and reputation. The swift discipline of the Lord came because He was already upset with the people of Israel. “Again, the ANGER OF THE LORD BURNED AGAINST ISRAEL, and He incited David against them saying, ‘Go take a census of Israel and Judah’. “ now we know that the Lord is ALMIGHTY AND SOVEREIGN and His Purpose will stand. When we cross this with the same account in 1 Chronicles 21:1 we see that it was Satan who presented himself before the Lord to TEMPT DAVID TO PRIDE. Now the Lord was already angry at Israel for supporting David’s son uprising and usurping of the Throne that God himself gave to David. Judgment comes from the Lord and who are you to question what he does with your human sentiments and lack of knowledge of Heavenly Law that governs our existence? Israel was due for discipline and the Lord allowed Satan to tempt so that David could make a CHOICE. His choice would determine the fate of his countrymen. This is the burden of ALL KINGS. David chose pride and this brought judgement on the nation that was looming above them. And after David was given three options he said “I am in great distress because of the this situation. Let me fall into the hands of the Lord for His mercy is great. But do not let me fall into human hands” why would he say that? BECAUSE HE IS A MAN OF WAR AND HE KNOWS THE TERROR AND HORRORS OF WAR AND THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WAR AGAINST ISRAEL WOULD NOT SPARE ISRAEL BUT WOULD DESTROY ISRAEL DOWN TO THE LAST INHABITANT! The 70,000 lost pale in comparison to the inherent loss of the entire nation! And what did David say after this happened? “I have sinned, I, the shepherd, have done wrong, these are only sheep. What have they done? Let your hand fall on me and my family.” David, although knowing the sin of Israel by taking his throne and supporting his son’s rebellion STILL INTERCEDED ON THEIR BEHALF AND CAST THE SIN OF A NATION UPON HIM AND HIS HOUSE. The house that GOD GAVE HIM! He displayed to the Lord that He loved nothing more than the Lord Himself and the people chosen by God. His selfless sacrifice redeemed Him in the Lord’s sight. Anything other than this would not have made David worthy of the Kingdom. Moses was not permitted entry into the Promised Land because he too disobey God and used the Lord’s power unlawfully by striking the rock out of anger and impatience with the People of God when it’s not his place to do such things when God told him to simply SPEAK to the rock. You do not understand these things so do not hold yourself in contempt because you will answer to the Lord one day if you do not repent and humble yourself as King David did. You may never have been King of a nation before but you may be the head of your household. And if it you can relate more to the head of a house than the Kong of a Nation. Do not your decisions, or the decisions of the head of house, affect everyone under your care that you provide for and protect? Use wisdom when judging these situations and have righteous judgment that you may gain more understanding.

​@@davidarmstrong1862what men women and children were struck down by an angel?

Oh that makes sense now

Actually, in this situation, it is lack of faith in God.

God allowed his son to take our place, pay a price we couldn't pay to give us the gift of salvation and adopt us into the family as fellow heirs. Faith is the only requirement. We go through trials because we allow the enemy in. Unforgiveness is the most used door by Satan to cause you harm. Pray for those who badly use you. Recognize it's Satan manipulating them to abuse you and they don't know it. God daily loads us with blessings. Thank him for them.

Amen! 🙏

And that is because you are fallen and not Holy, but one day you will be in Christ name and there will be no more sorrows

😢😢 woow

@@differentculturesamelove2757 Yea...I know. Its ok God still loves us

Hello Christina, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

@@trevorjennings721 Thank you. I'm doing fine. By God's grace 🙏💖👍

@@cristinadelemon6019 That’s good to know dear😊. Hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??

Hello Tammi, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

He not only forgives our sins but forgets them completely and we are righteous and blameless in His eyes when we practice righteousness.

@@ChristinaFromRU-vid That is right; I like the Carman song called "The Courtroom". It really emphasizes that all our sins are thrown into "the sea of forgetfulness", and instead our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

That is a sign that God is answering all of your questions. He is showing that He is always present in the lives of His children who love Him. Praise the Lord and God bless you.

Moses did it properly at God's command, and collected the amounts for the Tabernacle prescribed for redemption from plague. David forgot this step. Numbers 3 describes this. I think it's also mentioned in Deut. Or Lev.

@orbitingeyes2540 Thank you. It was only as I relistened to Numbers, that I realised that God orchestrated it of Moses. God bless you.

@@angelaserrone Thanks for your insight. God bless.

What did the video say about Rachel? I once read the book of Jasher that suggested that she took her father's gods because he would use them with the stars knowledge to trace where Jacob had escaped to.

Hello Tracy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

He had a pure heart.

Because of his DNA- he was Jesus’s great great great, great great times great grandpa 14 generations

⁠@@sarahsmileseriously yes & no. God could have chosen any one of His brothers if it’s only about genealogy. But He chose David because God sees the heart of people. God saw how David attended the sheep as a shepherd boy when no one was around. He wanted David to care for his chosen people in the same way as future king and warrior. God shows us a history of Him choosing the “weak” and unlikely of people so that He can get all the glory when they stand in victory. Hallelujah!

Because David loved the lord and he danced before the lord and God Lived him❤

Huh he joked his friend so he could have his wife. Huh.

MONEY??? GOD DONT NEED MONEY HE IS VERY WEALTHY AND MAJESTY

HE CREATED THIS EARTH HE CAN CREATE MONEY IF HE WANT

​@@user-be8dx4oh5othe money was collected for the maintenance of the tabernacle and to sustain the priests/ Levites. The latter were not to participate in any activity to earn an income of their own. I have started to read the old testament again about a month ago. This time more carefully - what an awesome journey!

​@@user-be8dx4oh5o It is all about obedience, not the money.

Jesus would not violate the 2nd commandment and create an image of himself Shroud of Turin is a lie from hell Jesus was and is sinless. Keeping ALL commandments of the Father

@@ChristinaFromRU-vid Exactly. HE is the Sinless LAMB.

What does that mean exactly?...

@@DM-he1ug It means he is mysterious. You cant be certain unless he makes it known to you. Worse, you lean onto your own understanding.

What women violated? Stop talking about things you know nothing about SMH

Here we go, a limited mordern woman trying to correct the ETERNAL CREATOR.

If you kept up with the video, it clearly explains the WHY. Try rewatching.

Exodus 30:12 “When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the LORD, when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when you number them. You’re welcome.

The God of the Bible is pure evil. Absolutely vile

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Don't fear MSN who can only destroy the body, but rather fear God who can destroy both body and soul in gehenna.

Ahhh yes, the laughing idiot emojis. The universal sign of a flaming fidiot.

I don’t know of anyone with kids who ever lived a single day without getting annoyed and frustrated by what they do. Same with God, except he has billions of children, so yeah, I can see why a lot of things upset him, and understand even more how and why he extends his love and mercy towards us.

Because He IS ALSO A JUST GOD…HIS WRATH IS ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE. ITS A DISSERVICE TO SOULS TO OMIT PARTS….THERE ARE ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES…FACING CONSEQUENCES HERE IS FAR BETTER FOR US ALL IN THE LONG RUN…

@@mistymeasles2527 umm I'm not saying to omit parts but why can't we hear more about God's immeasurable love for us too?? Like we get it, he's just. But all we're hearing about is "FEAR!! FEAR!! FEAR!!" Troughout the past several, if not most of what we're being beaten over the head with his wrath. Let's talk about his love too now. The way this channel is making God seem like he's some borderline abusive and hot tempered God and then thatsit...like, you can be a Christian without being a masochist and a walking sack of guilt and trembling all the time. It's unhealthy and discouraging to hear nothing about damnatiom and agony from God's anger. Seriously. Would like to see this channel. Finally fornonce talk about his unconditional, deep, healing love and the joy he wants his believers to heal with. Just dies not mean nothing but discipline and agony. That's not what the God I know wants for me or anyone except the wicked

@mistymeasles2527 I'm not saying omit anything??? I just mean in the same amount of time we could have explored and explained the measure and complexities of his equal love...which is also throughout the Bible. And why are you typing in all caps??

​@@HalcyonxTeatreemaybe because there are many people who need to hear about the wrath and/or discipline of God. Most know about the love of God thinking that God is only about that. A lot of people will live differently if they realise that there are consequences for disobeying God's Word. Many live lives pleasing satan thinking that God will be okay with it because "He is love" and "He understands". God is LOVE but HE is also a jealous God Who should be feared.

@elizabethrothman9974 but everybody knows he's wrathful too but is it a sin or heresy to explore and explain his love?? No. Is it a sin to put out almost nothing but fear about him?...yes. I'd say so.

john 3:16

John 16: 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. (Daniel 7: 9-14, 10/12/26) 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
