Death is the common thread of the readings today. God's judgement on the sin of the Midianites was final and their race was all but obliterated, only the virgin girls survived. God's judgement equally applied to the Israelites as well. He wanted a pure, unadulterated nation to serve him perfectly. The same holy requirement applies to us today. Even though Jesus has taken our sin and shame on himself those who reject him and live like a Midianite will account for this in the eternal fires of Hell. We must be that Holy Nation, set apart by God, living in the light of Christ.
