I
The purpose of God's judgment
is to encourage man's obedience;
the purpose of God's chastisement
is to allow for man's transformation.
Though God's work
is for His management's sake,
none of what He does
isn't good to man.
God wants the lands beyond Israel
to obey as the Israelites did,
to make them into real men,
so that in the lands beyond Israel
God's foothold shall be gained.
This is the management of God.
It's His work
in the lands of the Gentiles.
