It is Jesus the Christ that is our Kinsman-Redeemer.
The kinsman Redeemer had two main functions, that of redemption of man, and the justice of avenging evil and sin against His people, Israel.
It is Him that came the 1st time to redeem the world with His blood, and it is Him that will come the 2nd time as the Avenger of blood to save Israel and destroy His enemies wherein the justice of avenging evil and sin is performed.
This is why it is so important that we understand that Jesus was the ultimate example of faith.
He did right what Adam did wrong.
He trusted God even though He would die.
He allowed Himself to become a man, after having spent eternity as God.
On the promise that God would resurrect Him, and restore Him to His state, that Christ would sit in God the Father's throne, until all was fulfilled; and Christ would come the 2nd time to redeem Israel, destroy his enemies and then will sit on the throne of David("And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David" Luke 1:30-32), a throne that He was ultimately meant to rule from (for thousand years until always completed and there is the new heaven and new earth Revelations 20:2-6), for a thousand years.
4. God in His wisdom had set up a system where if individuals had no income or food, they could survive in Israel by going through fields after they had been harvested the wheat, and salvage the reminiscence that were dropped. This was referred to as "gleaning a field" ( Lev. 23:22).
Christ Magnified Glorifying Jesus on Joshua 20 - 7 years ago
Day 64 of "Bible in a Year Reading. I have had to read a number of chapters to get caught up. The history of Israel is so important to understand the relationship God offers to all.
I found something to hopefully clarify,Deuteronomy Ch.4vs42,That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live.Deuteronomy,Ch.19vs3-5,talks more about this matter.it does say neighbor,that's why I figured its not like you go to battle and kill them,it's an accident,spoken of hereAmen
Joshua 19 explains how the inheritance of land is divided. Joshua 20 is about the cities named for refuge. Joshua 21:44"and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them,the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand." I don't see anywhere that these chapters are talking specifically (which one) about friend or foe being killed unawares.
I will say that I don't think that its talking of just enemies,but ANY person,who in your heart you were not SEEKING out to ever harm them nor ever intended to,something happend to cause their death and it was not meant to be ON PURPOSE,so I think it goes beyond your enemies,for enemies would be,I'd think you have beef with,other wise why r they your enemy?accidents do happen,God is just and fair.
To insight 777: This is not "collateral damage. " This is accidentally causing the death of a fellow human being. Think about it. Not one and the same.
Verse 3 is talking about what today is called collateral damage. These are innocent people that are killed because they are close to an enemy that is killed with a weapon. Basically, what is being said is innocent death in war is tragic but the proverbial ends justify the means will prevail.
