What About God's View Major Owens?

Congressman Major Owens from New York made some comments from the floor of the House of Representatives that goes to show how even supposedly intelligent people don't think through what they are saying. He states:

"We've had massive removal of people and now, with the policies of this administration, suspending Davis-Bacon, suspending affirmative action, making clear that people are not welcome back, you will have permanent removal of a whole population. You'll have permanent removal of a whole population, unprecedented in the history of the nation."

Then he likens this massive removal to the Israelites by the Romans:

"You can imagine how the ancient Israelites felt when the Romans decided to do one of the most brutal and cruel things ever done, and that is, they took the whole nation. They took the whole nation and moved them out, spread them out over the world into the 12 tribes. They broke them up into 12 tribes and moved off their homeland, massive removal. Well, you have something similar to that taking place in New Orleans."

Now to be honest, I am not sure what he is talking about. Is he referring to the Diaspora that took place long before the Romans? He is talking about the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70? What twelve tribes were moved out? It is funny that he simply looks at this from a human point of view. It is true that the Assyrians displaced the Northern 10 Tribes of Israel. From a human point of view, the Assyrians were evil. But notice what God says in Isaiah chapter 10:6-7:

"Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger; the staff in their hands is my fury! Against a godless nation I send him, and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. But he does not so intend, and his heart does not so think; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few;"

So from God's point of view, He is the One who is behind this "massive removal". He is the One punishing the Israelites. So Owens better be careful and think through what he is saying. God removed the Israelites because of their wickedness. Is he comparing black Louisiana to wickedness? Just a thought.
