WHY HE DID IT FOR PETER & NOT USSIAH

God struck Uzzah dead (2 Samuel 6:6-7) because he touched the Ark of the Covenant to stabilize it when the oxen stumbled, violating divine laws that prohibited touching holy items. Despite good intentions, this irreverent act showed a lack of fear and respect for God’s holiness.

Key details regarding this event include:

• Violation of Law: The Ark was supposed to be carried on poles by Levites, not transported on a cart, as Uzzah and others had arranged.

• Irreverence: Uzzah's long familiarity with the Ark likely led to presumption, treating a holy object casually.

• Divine Holiness: The incident served as a reminder that God’s holiness is dangerous if approached improperly, functioning as a teaching moment regarding obedience

  .

While Uzzah's action may have seemed helpful, it demonstrated a failure to honor God's strict, specific instructions.

Ussiah tried to help the covenant box from falling on the ground and God killed him.

Moses threw the tablets on the ground out of frustration because of the sins of the people and that "act" kept him out of the promise land. Why didn't killing the man keep him out of the promise land.

Peter cut the man ear off!

Jesus simply put the man's ear back-on. Jesus didn't reject or chastise Peter.

The thief on the cross - was welcomed into paradise by Jesus and he didn't repeat the sinner's prayer, get water baptized or study the scriptures to show himself approved or worthy of heaven.
