Numbers 35:33-34 Bloodshed Polluted Land

 33Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. 34Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell. For I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.”

Bloodshed Polluted Land

“One may say that because of the stain of so many unpunished murders, the United States of America is a defiled land. Across the country, many are murdered under many circumstances and few are brought to justice. The blood of the slain cries out before God.” (Guzik)

My wife is a Investigation ID channel junkie. I’ve enjoyed Joe Kenda in Homicide Hunter, he’s solved about 400 murders. What struck me was his last day as a detective. He started to investigate a child murder and the child was wearing the same pattern pajamas as his child had. The PTSD overwhelmed him and he went to his office, hand wrote a resignation letter and taped it his door and walked out. His mind couldn’t handle the bloodshed 🩸 polluted land anymore. Later he became a school bus driver for children. When he was approached about the television show his wife suggested he do it because it would help him mentally to talk and deal with everything he’s seen.

If your family has been a victim of a murder, I pray the Lord gives you comfort.

Romans 12:19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
