3 more years and Moab will be gone...
vv. 1-3 Moab is trying to send gifts of lambs to Jerusalem so that Judah will join an alliance with the Moabites. This is what some nations still do today when they're facing a strong power.
vv. 4-5 a slight interruption pointing to what will come - Yes, a throne of love - not of power... will be set up.
Imagine a king ruling out of love for his people.. or even a queen for the love of her people. We are in the 21st century, right? :)
In the 2700 years ago... and even today we see many men and women in positions of power - not in love but in pride and arrogance.. fighting for more and more power...
How does leadership in love differ from a leadership in power which naturally leads to pride and arrogance? How would our world be different if love was pursued rather than power?
