Divine Chastening

In our text, the forgiven, redeemed, and restored people of God are running headlong into sin. For years the thought of an earthly king festered in the hearts and minds of God's people. And now in our text their rebellious passion gives way to action. They come together. They gather as much support at they can. And then they purposefully and premeditatively cast off God!

Now the wages for this sin was death... the death of Christ on the cross. Accordingly, God here doesn't destroy them. Rather He CHASTISES them, as a father would his own children. And this brings us to sixth and final attribute of rebellion; it is met with divine chastening.
