Hatred is like an ox trampling the grain on the threshing floor. The threshing floor is the "sanctuary" of the calf. It is the happiest place for them. They can tread the grain and eat the grain at the same time. Hatred is like an ox trampling the grain on the threshing floor.

The threshing floor is the "sanctuary" of the calf. It is the happiest place for them. They can tread the grain and eat the grain at the same time.

You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain. (Deut. 25:4)

“Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, You destroyers of My heritage,Because you have grown fat like a heifer threshing grain,And you bellow like bulls, (Jer. 50:11)

Concept:

Hatred is to trample on others, but one's heart is also trampled on, because of the bitterness in the heart, one is tortured by this power. Among the seven tribes of Canaan, the Jebusites (tramplers) also represent the spirit of hatred, and their characteristics are trampling, hatred, rejection, disgust, contempt, and blasphemy.

Hatred is not only an emotion, it is the closure of the soul, which then eradicates our sensitivity to human nature and even regards others as nothing.

Hatred can exist very obscurely without being noticed, and even our consciousness radar cannot detect it as an emotional form. As a silent and often rejected soul activity, it will close the heart and spirit of a person, erase the attributes of a person as a person in our consciousness, and condone or even encourage physical and mental violence.

Hatred is the most terrible thing. It is the source of sin and disputes. Hatred means no love. Hatred leads to evil thoughts, just as the Chinese idiom says: "When enemies meet, their eyes are red with envy."

Hate can turn small things into big things. Just because of hatred, what others do, although as trivial as chicken feathers, can evolve into a heavy weight like a mountain pressing down on one's head. Because of the prejudice of hatred, people will nitpick, find faults, and even find faults in eggs, make things up, and regard others as thorns in their eyes, and try to get rid of them as soon as possible, just as the apostle John said:

"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer." (1 John 3:13)

Cursing, bitterness, unforgiveness, beating, swearing, negativity, resentment, inferiority, self-pity, suicide, murder, suspicion, jealousy, gluttony, sleepiness, laziness, emptiness, rage, no hope, loss of faith, often inaction, loss of courage in life; no sense of trust and security, extreme self-isolation and confusion, deliberately putting the other party into a desperate situation, causing the other party to die, thinking that the whole world is not good to him, always belittling the other party, exalting himself, unwilling to pray for the other party, etc.

Hate is overcome by one's own flesh and blood, and is the deception of the enemy.
