但我在以色列人中留下七千人，他們全是未曾向巴力屈過膝的，也未曾與巴力親過嘴的。”

但我在以色列中已為自己保存了七千個餘民、是未曾向巴力屈膝過，未曾和巴力親嘴過的。』

然在以色列中、我遺七千人、其膝未嘗屈於巴力、其口未嘗吻之、

在以色列族中、我遺七千人、身未嘗曲跽巴力、手未嘗接吻以為禮。

我在以色列人中遺留七千人、即未嘗向巴力屈膝者、未嘗與巴力接吻者、

How did God answer him? God said,“ I have kept 7,000 people for myself. They have not bowed down to Baal.”( 1 Kings 19:18)Some are also faithful today. They have been chosen by God’s grace.

The Lord who rules over all has let some people live through that time of trouble. If he hadn’t, we would have become like Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

In days to come, some people will still be left alive in Israel. They will be from Jacob’s family line. But they won’t depend any longer on the nation that struck them down. Instead, they will truly depend on the Lord. He is the Holy One of Israel.The people of Jacob who are still alive will return to the Mighty God.Israel, your people might be as many as the grains of sand by the sea. But only a few of them will return. The Lord has handed down a death sentence. He will destroy his people. What he does is right.

Now they sin more and more. They use their silver to make statues of gods for themselves. The statues come from their own clever ideas. Skilled workers make all of them. The people pray to these gods. They offer human sacrifices to them. They kiss the gods that look like calves.

Obey the son completely, or he will be angry. Your way of life will lead to your death. His anger can blaze out at any moment. Blessed are all those who go to him for safety.

Their kings will become like fathers to you. Their queens will be like mothers who nurse you. They will bow down to you with their faces toward the ground. They will kiss the dust at your feet to show you their respect. Then you will know that I am the Lord. Those who put their hope in me will not be ashamed.”

When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone will kneel down to worship him. Everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will kneel down to worship him.

Do not bow down to them or worship them. I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I cause the sins of the parents to affect their children. I will cause the sins of those who hate me to affect even their grandchildren and great- grandchildren.

Now then, who are you to judge your brother or sister? Why do you act like you’re better than they are? We will all stand in God’s courtroom to be judged.It is written,“‘ You can be sure that I live,’ says the Lord.‘ And you can be just as sure that everyone will kneel down in front of me. Every tongue will have to tell the truth about God.’ ”( Isaiah 45:23)So we will all have to explain to God the things we have done.

My heart has been secretly tempted. My hand has thrown kisses to the sun and moon.
