1. THE PEOPLE
Five groups are called to purge evil from Israel by serving with righteousness, justice, and impartiality – not self-interest – fearing God and obeying His Word.
2. THE PRINCIPLES
Their role is to purge evil and bless Israel, calling God’s people to submit to His appointed authorities. Leaders must serve with integrity, resist temptation, and be grounded in God’s Word.
3. THE PINING
Israel longed for a day when evil would be fully removed, but never saw it – made worse by corrupt priests, kings, and prophets. So they yearned for a perfect Saviour. 2000 years ago, He came! Jesus is that perfect prophet, priest and king who will purge his people from sin.
