Hardening neck
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy (Proverbs 29:1).
This verse is applicable not only to the children of the world but also to the children of the kingdom. Many children of God harden their hearts without accepting the truth or without rejecting the false doctrines. Their spiritual death comes suddenly and they fall without remedy. Children of God also face physical death as divine judgment when they disobey God. When a minister of God has failed to heed to the repeated warnings of God and continues to do his ministry in a stereotype manner against His perfect will, especially of the Levitical ministry of the Old Covenant, or when God finds a minister of God not further useful in the ministry, God deems it fit to call him home.
