Day 42. Numbers 31: 3. the LORD’s vengeance

I (too) am struck by the violence of these stories. But in this verse we read that it is vengeance of the LORD. It is God who takes revenge. In this story he uses Israel for this action. Today we live in a new time and with a new covenant. Things changed. God asks us to take action against evil by doing good. This will cause the evil to suffer defeat as the Midianites did then.
