01. The Law
Israel sinned. A plague struck. Phinehas rose with zeal, judged the sin, and the plague stopped. God gave him a "covenant of peace".
"Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace... because he was jealous for his God."
02. The Mechanics
The mechanic is Zeal. God makes lasting covenants with those who don't tolerate sin. Phinehas' radical act brought peace. True peace is the result of righteousness.
03. The Application
Do you have zeal for God? Who stands against evil establishes a covenant of peace. Be a Phinehas: intervene to stop the "plague" in your generation.
