Wild in the Streets
By Pastor Bob DiSalvio
Violence and destruction are breaking out across the nation. None is more disturbing than at college campuses (U. C. Berkeley, Univ. Vermont).
As we see this stuff rolling out on T.V. screens we wonder…what's happening? But we are cautioned in Ecclesiastes 1:9 to remember: "...there is no new thing under the sun." These things have happened throughout history. There are two words which travel throughout scripture to shed some light and perspective on these times: murmuring and rioting, defined as:
- Murmuring: grumbling spoken in low tones, indignant complaining, expressions of indignant displeasure.
- Rioting: to cause to stand - dissension, insurrection, sedition, uproar, rebellion.
The children of Israel had not gone far from Egypt for forty days before they began murmuring, which eventuated in the death of thousands. Speaking to Israel Paul writes this: 1 Corinthians 10:10 "Neither murmur ye, as some of them... (Ex 16.2) "and the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness” ... also murmured and were destroyed (Num 14:37) of the destroyer (Ex 12:23).
