In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.

Psalms 11:3

It is very important for any child of God to have knowledge of foundations. Without this knowledge, many battles will be lost and the believer will not live to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Foundations are the core hiding places of our enemies.such realms are controlled by evil/wicked kings. Altars are activated from them and gates open at their prompting. Destroying the three: foundations, altars and gates will give the believer a great breakthrough in life. The enemy will always run to hide in the foundations if they have not been destroyed only to surface again. Prayer and fasting is highly recommended when destroying such. But first, what are foundations. Destroying foundations is like releasing a powerful bomb in the stronghold of the enemy. Share my notes with me and pray for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes as you read.
The Bible talks extensively about foundations
Foundations are the beginning; the core. Mountains, cities, the world and even the heavens have a foundation (Deut 32:22; 2Sam 22:8; 2Sam 22:16, Ezra 4:12)
God’s fire out of his anger can burn every foundation. Deut 32:22, Lam 4:11
At the rebuke of the LORD, hidden foundations can be seen. 2 Sam 22:16
Foundations that stand are strongly build. Ezra 6:3
Foundations are not only laid but fastened. Job 38:6
Every foundation has a cornerstone.Job 38:6
Good foundations/ foundations for the righteous can be destroyed. Ps 11:13. If it happens, what should the righteous do? (Nothing can exist without a foundation. When a good foundation has been destroyed, an evil or weak foundation is build)
The foundations of the earth have been laid by the Lord. Isa 51:13,16
God is able to lay foundations of those tossed with tempest and not comforted with sapphires, and their stones with fair colours. Isa 54:11. This means that there is a relationship between suffering and foundations.
We are called to raise up foundations of many generations. We shall repair breaches and build old waste places. Isa 58:12
Foundations for the wicked can be fallen, walls thrown down by God’s vengeance Jer50:15. They can also be broken down Ez 30:4
God promised to overthrow Samaria and reveal/discover/expose her foundations. Micah 1:6
Foundations can hear. Micah 6:2
Mountains (representing anything exalting itself high or great hindrance) have a foundation.De 32:22
Earthquakes can destroy or shake foundations. Acts 16:26
When foundations are shaken, doors are opened and prisoners/captives are set free.Acts 16:26
The city of heaven (where the throne of God is) has a foundation. The builder and maker is God. Heb 11:10
The city of new Jerusalem will have twelve foundations Rev 21:14
The church is build upon the foundation of apostles and prophets, but Jesus is the chief corner stone.Eph 2:20
How are the foundations of your life, family, job, home, church etc?
{{How do you wage war against an enemy: When enemies attack, you pursue them, killing and destroying what they rely on on the way. Some will run back to the city where they were sent from. Still you pursue them. They will try to close the gates of their cities. You need to use powerful weapons to destroy the gates. You should follow them and destroy them further. Some may hide. Once inside, you should destroy whatever holds them together as a people, the heart of their livelihood. Religion has been used to turn people into radicals, especially terrorists. You cannot destroy them fully without destroying it. This acts as their altar. If you still want to exterminate them, you souls blow up the entire stronghold down to its roots.
In spiritual warfare, you ought to pursue your enemies, destroying them on the way, till they enter into the safety of their strongholds. Destroy the gates they thrive in. once inside, destroy their altars. Burn them up, uproot and overthrow their kingdom which is part of their wicked foundations}}
Another way can be using spiritual weapons to bomb the entire city/stronghold. This will silence your enemies. Here below are some prayer bullets developed for such warfare.
• You, o LORD have created foundations.
• Arise, o my God in the name of Jesus and take control of my foundations
• You have given me power and authority to destroy all the works of the enemy (Luke 10:19)
• I put on the full armour of God: the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, shoes in readiness of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit in Jesus name.
• I release the fire of God against foundations that speak against my life in Jesus name.
• O LORD, rebuke foundations that stand against my life and lay them bare in Jesus name.
• I release a mighty earthquake upon every foundation that speaks against my family, my business, my health, …. In Jesus name.
• I run to you o LORD that you may hide me in foundations of the righteous.
• I throw down the walls of wicked foundations in Jesus name. o Lord , throw them down by your vengeance in Jesus name.
• Arise o LORD, and expose foundations that oppose me in Jesus name.
• I overcome every evil foundation today from my fathers house with the blood of Jesus.

• Lay my foundations o LORD with saphires and stones of fair colours. Be the cornerstone of my life/ family/ church/health in Jesus name etc
• I uproot every mountain that stands before me from its foundations in Jesus name
• Let the foundations that stand against my life be shaken, and let the doors and gates therein be opened.
• Let prisoners be set free in Jesus name
• I will rise and raise up foundations of righteousness for many generations in Jesus name

The state, or society, is compared to a building. The foundations upon which it rests (or the pillars which support it) are the fundamental principles of law and order and justice. The figure sometimes denotes nobles, or chief men, as in Isa_19:10 (R.V.), but the more general explanation is preferable here. Cp. Psa_75:3; Psa_82:5; Eze_30:4. When these principles are being subverted, ‘what,’ asks the voice of despair, ‘can the righteous do? and the form of the question in the original seems to be intended to exclude the possibility of an encouraging answer.
But the verse should probably be rendered (cp. R.V. marg.), For the foundations are being overthrown; what hath the righteous wrought? The efforts of the righteous have availed nothing to avert the general anarchy. What then, it is implied, can he hope to effect by remaining in the midst of it at the peril of his life?

The bequethment of the ungodly

There is this great difference between moral and physical evil—that men will use all their carefulness to avoid the one, while every imaginable prohibition is ineffectual to deter them from the other. It is quite evident that there is not in our nature a principle of what we may call a moral self-preservation. Hence it is that, whilst the Governor of the universe has not thought it necessary to interpose the precepts of the statute-book that we may be warned against physical evil, He has heaped together edicts and motives which all bear on the avoidance of moral evil. We know, indeed, that such is the desperate proneness of man to misdoing, that all this mighty instrumentality is practically of no effect; but it is singular to observe how every motive by which our nature can be plied is brought into play, so that the Divine Legislator has left nothing untried in order to save us from iniquity. If a man be wrapt up in selfishness, why, he is told that health, and peace, and reputation will be best consulted by his “seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” Then, if he care only for himself—if he would not hate his own flesh, and mar his own happiness, let him cultivate that godliness which hath the promise of the present life, as well as that which is to come. And if a man be inaccessible to this kind of attack—if he can be contented, for the gratification of his senses and the indulgence of his passions, to brave the penalties of the law of the Almighty, the Bible will open upon him another battery, and seek to move him by his affection for others. Those yet unborn may be sufferers by your sin; for the days spoken of in our text are assuredly not yet come—the days in which “they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.” Yes, you may say, it is not to be denied that God doth visit on the children the iniquity of the fathers; but is this just? The innocent seem made to suffer for the guilty. Can this be right? No, it cannot be just that the innocent should suffer for the guilty. If you can show the children to be innocent, and therefore deserve nothing of what they receive, you will make good your point—that the visitation is unjust; but to maintain the thorough innocence of the children would be to maintain the purity of human nature. If in themselves they deserve not to be visited with calamity, they must be exceptions to the rule that men are “born in sin and shapen in iniquity.” It is certain that every one born into the world is born in a state of wrath and condemnation: the child, whether of believing or unbelieving parents, has not a particle of right to one solitary blessing; and if, therefore, whatever be His reasons for making a distinction, God withholds many blessings from this or that child, He withholds nothing to which the child has a claim; and if He permits many calamities to fall on the child, He permits nothing which is wholly undeserved. Wherein, then, can lie the violation of justice if nothing be kept back to which there was right, nothing inflicted but in the way of retribution? But still if you allow the strict justice of the measure, yon may profess to think it hard that the child should have to endure what, but for the parent’s offences, it would have escaped. Let us not, however, be carried away by appearances. The child, for example, is of a diseased constitution, of a dishonoured name, of broken fortunes; these constitute that “setting the teeth on edge,” which you think it so hard that “the fathers’ eating the sour grape” should have caused. But who can prove to me that the child is injured by the visitation? Nay, who can prove to me that the child is not really advantaged? Are penury and affliction never overruled for good? Is it necessarily an evil to have been born poor in place of rich—to be of weak health instead of strong—to struggle with adversity, in place of being lapped in prosperity! No man who feels himself immortal, who is conscious that this confined theatre of existence is but the school in which he is disciplined for s higher and nobler, will contend for the necessary injuriousness of want and calamity. We are poor judges of injuries. What seems to be injurious, is so capable of being overruled for good, that it may turn out beneficial. There may be many a tongue which would never have been tuned to the high praise of God, had not “the teeth been set on edge” by the sin of the father. Now there would seem no more important and practical application of this subject, than the pressing home on parents the duties which they owe to their children. Fathers of the present day will “rise early and late take rest,” they will ply without ceasing at laborious occupations, and the strength of intellect, and the powers of muscle shall be devoted with a like prodigality; and the animating thing throughout the unwearied enlistment of every talent and every moment in one engrossing pursuit shall be the upholding of a family in sufficiency and obtaining the means of future independence. And it may never occur to these fathers that if they so indulge the passion of accumulation as to become the slaves of covetousness, or if they so engross themselves with the wharf and the exchange as to leave comparatively no time for the Church and the closet—or if the resolve to be rich induce them to depart from high-toned rectitude, and to carry on trade with those shuffling and underhand tricks by which it is often deformed—it may never, we fear, occur to them that in their zeal for their children’s welfare they may be storing up for them calamity, and that with every pound they lay by, they may lay by a worm which, if it sleep till their own death, shall then struggle into life and gnaw at the core of their family’s happiness. Yet, if then be truth in the text, the father s sin goes down to his posterity: and where shall be the profit of a large bequeathment of land or consols if there be fastened to it the entailment of the Almighty’s displeasure? God has ordained that wickedness shall defeat its own end; He may allow you to heap up wealth, but He puts the stamp of His anger on the silver and the gold; and the nothing which s pious beggar has to leave were a better inheritance than the coffers of ingots on which were impressed the stamp of the Lord’s indignation. The days are not yet come, in which it shall no longer be mid, “The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth were set on edge.” But the days shall come when the prophecy shall be accomplished, even as will be that which asserts the universal extinction of war; though nation is as yet ready to “rise against nation,” and no signs appear of “the sword being beaten into the ploughshare.” Prophecies like these are commands as well as prophecies; and their being fulfilled as predictions may greatly depend on their being obeyed as precepts. Here is a clear practical lesson for parents. Would you save your children from the having “the teeth set on edge”? Take heed, then, that you “eat” not “the sour grape” yourselves! You may be sure that you then consult best for the interests of your families when you consult most your own souls. (H. Melvill, B. D.)


The hereditary principle in God’s government of humanity

I. Man has been subject to this hereditary principle of government through all past ages.
1. Its necessary working is secured by the connection existing between the members of our race.
(1) How close is the tie of physical relationship subsisting between men and generations! We are all made of the “one blood,” all descendants from the same stock. Our parents transmit to us not merely their natures, but their idiosyncrasies, their diseases, their characteristic propensities.
(2) How close, too, is the tie of social interdependence. Every man is dependent upon his brother. One has something to impart which the other requires.
2. It is registered in the everyday experience of humanity.
(1) You see it written in a man s history as the lineal descendant from a particular family. Some inherit a princely fortune, and some a crushing penury, from their ancestors. Their social status, too, is often ruled by the position and conduct of those of whom they were born.
(2) You see it written in his history as the offspring of past generations. The human plant does not grow up in its wild luxuriance and unassisted strength, but is trained against the walls and espaliers of law and government, and pruned by the hand of public customs and manners.
II. This hereditary principle of the Divine government is to man no just ground of complaint.
1. No man is made to suffer more than he actually deserves on account of his own personal sins. The method is for the Judge of all the earth to determine and no one else. In sooth, since suffering must come to the sinner, I would sooner have it through parents than in any other way; for that medium seems to afford some alleviating considerations. Love modifies suffering, cools its fires on the nerves, and lessens its pressure on the heart.
2. The evil which thus descends to us from our ancestors is not to be compared with that which we produce ourselves. With evils that are transmitted to you there can be no remorse. You bear them as calamities; and you have the grace of heaven, the sympathy of the good, and the smiles of an approving conscience to enable you to bear them with calm magnanimity, and even with triumphant exultation.
3. Whilst this hereditary principle of the Divine government entails evil, it also entails good. Whence came our political constitution, which, notwithstanding its defects, affords a better guarantee of personal liberty, social order, and human progress, than any other government under heaven? Did we elaborate it ourselves? No. It is the production of days. It has grown out of the enlightening instructions, the importunate prayers, the patriotic sacrifices and struggles of the best men of the generations that are gone.
4. This hereditary principle tends to restrain vice and stimulate virtue. What sacrifices will not parents of the ordinary natural affection make to serve the interest of their children! Now the hereditary principle of government brings this mighty impulse in the world’s heart to act in the restraint of evil and in the development of good.
III. The time will come when men will cease entirely complaining of this principle. In “those days” of universal knowledge, virtue, and blessedness, not a solitary man will be found to complain of this hereditary principle in the Divine government. Every man shall have such an insight into the nature of God’s administration that he shall see the wisdom and feel the beneficence of this principle. In “those days” the successive generations of holy and happy men will clearly see that the good, that will then have come out of this principle to humanity, will far out-measure all the evil that has ever grown out of its operation, through all the past history of man. In “those days,” parents, through many a circling age, down to the solemn day of doom, will transmit nothing to their offspring, but halesness of constitution, elasticity of intellect, purity of felling, nobleness of soul, and honour of name, knowledge, and blessed example, on which it shall leave its successor to lay another, and thus on for centuries; until humanity shall find itself on that rich and lofty soil, where the choicest productions of paradise will bloom for ever.
1. This subject serves to show the right which every reformer has to protest against the sins of individuals.
2. It serves to show the solemn responsibility of the parental character.
3. It serves to show that the best way to elevate the race is to train the young.
4. It serves to throw some light upon what is called “original sin.” A deterioration of our nature, and a disturbance of our moral relations, is a fact palpable to every eye, incontrovertible to every intellect, conscious to every soul
5. It serves to indicate the philosophy of Christ’s incarnation. (Homilist.)
Jeremiah 31:27-30

Perhaps, in allusion to the flourishing state of Christ’s church, under the latter day dispensation, this prophesy had respect. But what I particularly desire the Reader to remark with me is, the different features which are here drawn between the Old Testament Church and the New, on this subject. The covenant under the law entailed all the effects of the breaches of it upon the children. But in Christ Jesus, the new nature from him and in him, as the covenant himself, entails all his blessings on all his seed. Compare Exo_20:5 with Isa_59:21.

Jer_31:30; Lam_5:7; Eze_18:2-3
