"Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:/ And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.(vv.56-57)"
What was Israel before God? "He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye(De.32:10)." There was nothing in him that merited special attention from God. Yet Moses speaks of him we have a clue to what he represents in His eye.
"When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.(De.32:8)." God had blessed Abraham and all that he promised was represented in Jacob. In a manner of speaking he was the heir of promise.According to the number speaks of 12 which is according to the Gospel.
But God blessings were in the Father Son relationship before the worlds began. The same promise for which God called Abraham was by a decree. (Ps.2:7-8) Consequently when God divided the nations their inheritance, it was in accordance with His promise to his 'only begotten Son.' He said,"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance. (Ps.2:8)"
What is Shechem? Is it not part of inheritance allotted to Ephraiam? Intrigue of Abimelech played on the spirit of partisanship and Shechem sided with the son of the concubine because her brethren were 'one of us.'"
Partisanship is bought with a price which is another man's riches. It is thus heresies divide the body of Christ. Shechem thus brought disaster on themselves and were destroyed by one of their own. It just shows what is empowering these factions but Satan who is the author of confusion. What do megachurches represent but partisanship and their head is certainly not Christ when they hold truth in unrighteousness?
