Tonight I was reading 1 Chronicles 21:15. I found it interesting it is yet another time when the Lord decided to destroy and "repented him". In this case, He had the angel stop destroying.
I like the verse because you see a little glimpse into the Lord's thoughts.
"And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite."
Two things struck me. 1. The Lord was standing watching. 2. the angle didn't destroy everything in an instant, it was a movement.
