(Psa 106:38 KJV) And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
If you have ever heard someone with a tender heart, that was concerned about all the killing in the Old Testament, you might want to read them this verse and its context. We have no comprehension in our gentle world of the evil perpetuated by the Canaanites. Read that verse again. Do you see what’s going on? I know you don’t want to see it. I don’t want to see it either. But it is there.
The Israelites were sacrificing their children to the idols of Canaan. This is what we call child sacrifice. This was a brutal and evil cultural reality of the local tribes. It was an every day occurrence in Canaan. This is the reason that God felt like these people needed to be removed from the Earth. God was aware of the way in which people absorb the standards of the culture around them.
God has reasons for what he does. We have been raised in a sheltered environment and don’t understand evil and how deep it can go. Well, I say that the evil is going on all around us. Picture of the millions have been dismembered by abortions. Picture of the children used in pornography industry. Picture the butchers of Hamas, not just on October 7, but on a regular basis. Picture the warping our our children's minds and bodies with woke philosophies. The evil marches on. God is not content to let it continue.
