“‘The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. But he does not excuse the guilty. He lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations.’”
Numbers 14:18 NLT
"HE lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected."
God picks and works through certain key people. Such people are the key where their actions will affect their entire family whether for good or bad.
If the key person obeys, the entire family can be saved and blessed. If the key person disobeys, the entire family can be in serious trouble. We see in the Bible when it came to Achan (Joshua 7) and Korah, their decision ( they were in authority for their families), affected not only their entire family but their livelihood, land, and possessions. Everything was not only cursed, they were all judged and eliminated. The Bible says those who refuse to be circumcised (spiritually now of the heart) will be cut off from Him.
As it says in Joel, while there is still time, come to Him.
“That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, WHILE THERE IS TIME. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.”
Joel 2:12 NLT
