In this
twenty-fifth chapter of the book of Numbers, verses 11-13, there is that which
speaks of a very special blessing for those who will have nothing to do with
unholy things.
The LORD secures unto them very special promises and very special blessings; for those who, like Phinehas, will have no compromise with unholy things.
Phinehas, as you notice, saw this relationship with a Midianitish woman taking place, in the very act, and he took a spear and thrust both man and woman through and slew them and so he prevented GOD from breaking out because that thing was coming into the presence of the house of GOD.
GOD'S wrath was stayed, and Phinehas turned aside judgement.
It was an uncompromising attitude toward something which was unholy, and to all such the LORD gives very special promises of blessing.
There are great blessings for those who will remain absolutely clean and clear for GOD.
GOD is with them in a very special way.
