I wonder if it speaking to the condition of the lost - alluding to seeking the wrong mountain/rock to cover them.....instead of finding shelter in the cleft of the true Rock/mountain of Christ:
Isa 30:1-3
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
And how are they "wrongly perceiving" that God is wrathful, when His wrath is spoken of and warned about all through the bible......and the horrific events of what happened to Israel in 70AD is even an example and warning to us? And just look around at this world, if any have eyes to see.........the consequences (judgments) of sin and iniquity are seen constantly and everywhere. How do you understand these scriptures below:
