Jump to Previous AbhorredAbominateAngerAngryBurnedBurningHeritageInheritanceInsomuchKindledWrathJump to Next AbhorredAbominateAngerAngryBurnedBurningHeritageInheritanceInsomuchKindledWrathPsalm 106 1.The psalmist exhorts to praise God4.He prays for pardon of sin, as God pardoned the fathers7.The story of the people's rebellion, and God's mercy47.He concludes with prayer and praiseSo the anger of the LORD burned against His peopleThis phrase reflects God's righteous indignation towards Israel due to their repeated disobedience and idolatry. Throughout the Old Testament, God's anger is often depicted as a response to covenant unfaithfulness (e.g., Deuteronomy 9:7-8). The imagery of God's anger "burning" suggests an intense, consuming wrath, similar to a fire. This is consistent with the biblical portrayal of God as a holy and just deity who cannot tolerate sin ( Habakkuk 1:13). The historical context includes Israel's repeated cycles of sin, punishment, repentance, and deliverance during the period of the Judges, as well as their later idolatry during the monarchy. This anger is not arbitrary but is a response to the violation of the covenant relationship established at Sinai (Exodus 19-24). and He abhorred His own inheritance
The term "inheritance" refers to Israel, whom God chose as His special possession among all nations (Deuteronomy 32:9). To "abhor" means to regard with disgust or hatred, indicating a severe divine displeasure. This reflects the gravity of Israel's sin, which led God to view them with revulsion, despite His covenant promises. The cultural context includes the ancient Near Eastern concept of a deity having a chosen people or land, which was a common motif. However, unlike other deities, the God of Israel's relationship with His people was based on moral and ethical standards. This phrase also connects to prophetic warnings found in books like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, where God expresses similar sentiments due to Israel's idolatry and injustice (Jeremiah 12:7-8,Ezekiel 23:18). Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who bore the wrath of God on behalf of humanity, becoming the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenant promises and restoring the broken relationship between God and His people (2 Corinthians 5:21). Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant God of Israel, who is holy, just, and righteous. His anger is a response to the unfaithfulness of His people. 2. His People (Israel)The nation chosen by God as His inheritance, who repeatedly turned away from Him to idolatry and sin. 3. InheritanceRefers to Israel as God's chosen people, whom He delivered from Egypt and established in the Promised Land. 4. Anger of the LORDA divine response to the persistent disobedience and idolatry of Israel, reflecting God's holiness and justice. 5. AbhorrenceA strong term indicating God's deep displeasure and rejection of Israel's sinful behavior, despite their status as His inheritance. Teaching Points God's Holiness and JusticeGod's anger is a reflection of His holiness and justice. He cannot tolerate sin and rebellion, even among His chosen people. This calls us to live in reverence and obedience to God. The Consequences of SinJust as Israel faced consequences for their disobedience, we too must recognize that sin leads to separation from God and invites His discipline. God's Covenant FaithfulnessDespite His anger, God remains faithful to His covenant. His discipline is meant to bring His people back to repentance and restoration. Self-ExaminationWe should regularly examine our lives for areas of disobedience or idolatry that may kindle God's displeasure, seeking His forgiveness and grace. Hope in RepentanceThe account of Israel shows that repentance can restore our relationship with God. We are encouraged to turn back to Him, trusting in His mercy and love.
