I do not believe they were stubborn, but stuck, overwhelmed, and fearful. It is somewhat sacrificial. God has to command them to shock them into action. It is no longer a choice of action but a choice of obedience or rebellion. Since they know and love God, they now must TRUST God. The rebellion is out of the question. It is here we see: "obedience is better than sacrifice." 1 Samuel 15:22
Amen Ivory Eagle, Amen. I could not have expressed my understanding of this question with any better explanation than your statement. God Bless.

Hi!
I'm Pam from VA. I'm a retiree & working part-time in retail.
I'm glad & excited to be starting a new Bible study here on JesusWalk.
I will be interested in hearing your thoughts & opinions on God's word.
Looking forward to growing in my knowledge of my Savior & in my spiritual walk.

Q3. (Colossians 1:16) “Thrones,” “powers,” “rulers,” “principalities,” “authorities,” etc. probably refer to both earthly as well as angelic and demonic dominions. What does this passage teach about the relation of these powers to Jesus? How should this affect our fear of them? How should it affect our prayers?
God created all things therefore has power/supremacy over all those things including Satan that he threw out of heaven.
We need to keep our prayers God-centered, asking for his guidance, and surrendering to his will in/for our lives.
Q6. It Is Finished (John 19:30)
in Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross
Posted
Jesus had 'finished' his ultimate goal - laying down his life on the cross, bearing our sins, and giving us a path connecting us directly to our GOD. He willingly 'gave up' his soul into the hands of His Father to save us all.
We too are here for one ultimate goal - to live lives of purpose, to focus on God and His kingdom, to be obedient to God's word, and lastly, be willing to suffer any type of hardships to achieve God's purpose for our lives.
Ultimately we want to also be able to conclude: "It is finished.", we have finished God's purpose for us here on earth. We want to be welcomed into Heaven by His words: "Well done, good and faithful servant . . . enter into the joy of your master." We want to have lived a life pleasing to God so that we are able to live in our God's presence for eternity.
Thank you for your work to further God's kingdom by providing these inciteful, informative, wonderful lessons so that we all have a source to access God's word. I have learned a lot and especially like to read the comments of fellow participants giving me many different perspectives on the subject. I am growing in the Lord daily thanks to each and every one of you. May God bless you all!
