Just noticed and reminded of this:
From the Greek, translating or paraphrasing if desired:
God KEEPS RESCHEDULING our days, to be TODAY, giving as many as He does ANOTHER CHANCE to LISTEN to HIM, to HEAR HIS VOICE ... and DO what is needed to be rescued, saved, healed, obedient, joyously, freely, perfectly,
as God Says ...
Otherwise, after "Today IF you HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT REBEL as they did in the wilderness and PERISH")
would happen once (perhaps)
in our lives, and IF we did rebel again, we would perish then and there..... perhaps as Adam did, or worse even,
because it is also written: if God DID NOT spare those who refused to listen to Him when He spoke from the mountain , (He did not spare them) ,
HOW MUCH MORE God will not spare those who refuse to listen to His Precious Son TODAY.... Jesus Who WE CRUCIFIED.... Who died for us, to save us from all of our sin....
