VERSE: Dt01-03a


RULE: Many people gave REBUKES on their death bed.
Such rebukes help children and can bring peace.
When such rebukes are given they are given on death
beds--there are 4 virtues in giving them then.
(a) The timing shows the seriousness of the rebuke

(b) There is no risk that the person rebuked will rebel and
    run away(in anger) since the person rebuking them will
    soon die

(c) Similarly there is no risk that the person rebuked will
    be embarassed since the person rebuking them will
    soon die

(d) Similarly there is no risk that the rebuke will cause
    hatred because the person rebuking is about to die


EXAMPLES
--------
(1) Moses rebuked Israel near his death (Dt01)
(2) David rebuked King Solomon before he died
(3) Samuel rebuked the Jewish people before he died (1Sam08)
(4) Joshua rebuked Israel before he died
