Violation and Profanation
To violate the holiness of God’s righteous laws, and to profane the holy things that are in the sanctuary of His justice and His mercy, must bring His judgment on nations and on individuals. To break down the hedge that separates the “holy from the profane,” and the “clean from the unclean,” is to face the flaming sword that turns every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
The finality of God’s purposes will never be altered to suit the convenience of those who, in this compromising age, “sandwich religious addresses between comic songs.” This is violation and profanation; this is putting no difference between the “holy and the profane,” between “the clean and the unclean.” And yet in God’s sight the difference between them is as the difference between heaven and hell.
