1 Samuel 2:34 English Standard Version (ESV) And this that shall come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die on the same day.
The answer to yesterday’s question is that they die together.
Those who do not know the Lord have contempt for the Lord’s offering and shall die because of it.
What is the Lord’s offering which has been held in contempt?
Hebrews 7:26-28 English Standard Version
26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.
Hebrews 10:5-7 English Standard Version
5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
Everything that warns mankind of the inevitable outcome for those who have contempt for the Lord’s sacrifice has been written in His Word. Eli did not see to it that his sons came to know the Lord and we see the results. We can learn from Eli’s mistake.
