Show Notes

Summary:
There are several words in the Bible used to describe sin. Sin is somewhat familiar to most of us, but what about iniquity? Is it just a synonym for sin, or does it have a deeper meaning? Is iniquity more specific or a more general term for sin? Today, we dig into the Scriptures to learn about the true meaning of iniquity.

Notes:
Iniquity - עָוֹן (aw-vone’): perversity, depravity, iniquity, guilt or punishment of iniquity
guilt of iniquity, guilt (as great), guilt (of condition)
consequence of or punishment for iniquity

Amorites - אֱמֹרִי (em-o-ree’): Amorite = "a sayer"
one of the peoples of east Canaan and beyond the Jordan, dispossessed by the Israelite incursion from Egypt

Scriptures:
All Scripture references are from the King James Version of the Bible.

Exodus 34:6-7, 1 John 3:4, Exodus 23:20-21, Genesis 15:12-16, Genesis 4:13, Genesis 14:5-7, Genesis 14:13, Genesis 15:18-21, Exodus 33:1-3a, Deuteronomy 20:16-18, Genesis 19:15, Genesis 44:16, Exodus 20:3-6, Matthew 24:11, 2 Thessalonians 2:7, 2 Timothy 2:19, Colossians 2:13-14

Takeaway:
Iniquity has existed since the beginning and was first identified with the way of Cain. It was closely associated with the Amorites, who were undoubtedly cohabiting, if not intermingling, with giants. They worshipped other gods and sacrificed their children in the fire to Molech. God said He would visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the children to the fourth generation, indicating that iniquity has a covenantal connection with demonic entities. Let all who name the name of Christ depart from iniquity!
