In case you havent noticed God is now a forgiving God I doubt he will punish people for the crimes of there ancestory (which seems to be what you are
wanting to happen.)
GOD is forgiving, to HIS people.
Acts 5:31-Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
GOD also does require the past.
Ecc 3:15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
GOD punished Israel for the sins of their fathers, and they are his CHOSEN, so what do you think he's going to do to EDOM and the other nations for
the sins of their fathers which they commited against his PRIZED possession?
Isaiah 14:21-Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of
the world with cities.
Maybe he will forgive them and just let them go? let's see:
Nahum 1:3-The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked:
Jeremiah 49:12-For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall
altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
13For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof
shall be perpetual wastes.
Obadiah-15For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own
head.
16For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and
they shall be as though they had not been.
17But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
It doesn't matter what I want to happen. I don't power to do jack. It's all about what GOD is going to do.
