Historically, the Israelites often turned away from God, seeking alliances with foreign nations like Egypt, which God had explicitly warned against. This rebellion is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament, highlighting the Israelites' struggle to remain faithful to their covenant with God. The rebellion is not just a physical turning away but a spiritual defiance against God's authority and guidance.<p><b>Deceitful children</b><br>"Deceitful" indicates a lack of integrity and honesty in their relationship with God. The Israelites are described as children, emphasizing their immaturity and dependency, yet they choose deceit over truth. This deceit is evident in their false worship and insincere repentance. The term "children" also reflects their status as God's chosen people, who are expected to live in truth and righteousness. This deceit is contrasted with the call to be like children in faith, as seen in the New Testament, where Jesus emphasizes the importance of childlike faith and honesty.<p><b>Children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction</b><br>The phrase underscores the Israelites' refusal to listen to and follow God's teachings. The "LORD's instruction" refers to the Torah, the law given to Moses, which was meant to guide the Israelites in living a life pleasing to God. Their unwillingness to obey is a direct rejection of God's authority and wisdom. This disobedience is a central issue in the prophetic books, where prophets like Isaiah call the people back to faithfulness. The New Testament echoes this call to obedience, with Jesus fulfilling the law and urging His followers to live according to God's will. The Israelites' disobedience serves as a warning and lesson for future generations about the consequences of turning away from God's path.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book bearing his name.
