Scripture Post #2,145: *GREAT MERCY*

 

Numbers 14:18:

“The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.”

In the Old Testament, GOD is still extremely merciful! He still makes sure consequences are exacted upon iniquities, however. 

Moses Pleads Forgiveness On Israel’s Behalf; GOD Obliges:

Numbers 14:17: “And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,”

Verse 18: “The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.”

V. 19: “Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

V. 20: “And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:”

“The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression…" Amen.
