THE WRATH OF GOD - TOUGH LOVE #2
The NT is not silent by any means of the WRATH of God that
is to come on this earth at the very end of this age. The Eternal
will have had His belly full of the hard-headed rebellious, and
just down right WICKEDNESS and EVIL that will have ABOUNDED, as
Jesus prophesied would happen before He came back to rule the
earth in righteous judgment.
"For the WRATH of God is revealed from heaven AGAINST all
UNgoldliness and UNrighteousness of men, who hold back the truth
in UNrighteousness" Romans 1:18.
The truth of the matter today on important issues of life is
often held back; the truth about God, His word; the way of
salvation, the truth about being saved by grace, the truth of the
commandments of the Lord NOT abolished; the truth of the FOURTH
commandments with the amplification it contains about the FEASTS
of the Lord; the truth about Jesus' return and how it will
happen; the truth concerning the Kingdom of God coming to earth
and the many prophecies that give us detail; ALL these teaching
from the Bible, and many more, ARE HELD BACK from you by the
popular so-called "Christian" denominations today. They do not
want you to know the real truth on these topics. They KNOW if
they would teach and preach them, their "mass following" would
CRUMBLE!! They would be out of a job; their sale of their books
would come to a crashing close; their speaking engagements would
be cancelled for few would show up. People today are LAZY
Christians, they want the EASY road to travel, they do not desire
to be CORRECTED, to be told how they need to CHANGE their life
style; how they should CONFORM to the WILL and the COMMANDMENTS
of the Almighty God. They are lazy in "searching the Scriptures"
- lazy in reading the Bible from cover to cover. They want to
read all the hundreds of books published each year (I know I'm a
member of a Christian book club) - so busy reading books about
the Bible they have little time to actually read the Bible
itself, and as far as DEEP study goes, why forget that, they are
so busy running here and there, they sure don't have the time to
spend hours a week doing in-depth Bible study.
So the preachers of the Christian religion tell them what
they want to hear, to keep them in never never land. The teachers
are to blame, but so are the listeners, for they WANT it that
way. It is as Jesus said the blind leading the blind, and BOTH
will fall into the ditch.
How do you figure this (you can from what I've said above)
as a way of speaking, over 1 BILLION people on earth are ROMAN
CATHOLIC! Now all it would take is just a little small amount of
research of history, to find that the RC church was directly or
in-directly responsible for ten of thousands of people being
burnt at the stake, tortured, killed, during the so-called Dark
Ages. Why would ANY person, even ONE person (let alone a Billion
and more) EVER WANT to be a member of such a church with such a
history? It blows me away, just fries my mind. Yet a Billion
people are still following (in small or large ways) the dictates
of that organization. Getting some "theology" wrong and changing
to the truth is one thing, but KILLING people is totally another
thing that can never be excused. Such an organization once it has
done such terrible things as torture and killing can never be a
bonified Christian religion again. They should have closed shop,
hung a sign on the wall "gone fishing" and disappeared off the
face of the earth, with leaders fully REPENTING! The organization
with such history should have been disbanded.
The DEPTHS of the deceptions of Satan run THICK!!
God will come to the end of His patience one day. He will
say "Enough is enough. It's time for me to SHAKE, RATTLE, AND
ROLL the nations on earth."
"But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest you
unto thyself WRATH against the day of WRATH and REVELATION of the
righteous JUDGMENT of God" Romans 2:5
It's time for YOU to not be deceived any more:
"Let no man deceive you with VAIN words: for because of
these things comes the WRATH of God upon the children of
DISobedience" Ephesians 5:6.
"For which things sake the WRATH of God comes on the
children of DISobedience" Colossians 3:6.
The time is coming when DISobedience to the law and the COM-
MANDMENTS of God, as more and more people everywhere are shutting
the Lord Almighty out of their lives, their business, and secular
sports and entertainment and hobbies, then a day of reckoning
WILL come - the Eternal has promised it! What is written will
come to pass.
Why does it seem at the present that God has walked away,
turned a blind eye to the ever increasing EVIL AND WICKEDNESS
that is going on down here on this planet? Paul gives us the
answer:
"And why do you think this O man, that judgment (of evil) to
those who do such things (evil and wickedness), and you do the
same, that YOU shall escape the JUDGMENT of God? Or why do YOU
despise the riches of His goodness and forbearance and
longsuffering (patience and slow to anger and wrath). Do you not
know that the goodness of God (in being patient and holding back
judgment) is to LEAD YOU to REPENTANCE" (my rendition) Romans
2:3-4.
Oh, at the present God is holding back His WRATH! He is
being PATIENT, longsuffering, THAT SOME MAY COME TO REPENTANCE,
find the true light and walk in the way of the Lord, find
salvation and so a people can be prepared for the glorious FIRST
RESURRECTION when Jesus does come to judge and punish the nations
for their SINS and WICKEDNESS and all that is UNrighteous.
This is why Jesus has not yet returned to earth! This is the
reason why for many of us things seemed to have slowed down to
bring about the end time prophecies. And I do tell you that MUCH
is yet to happen on this earth and with the nations, to bring
about all the end of the age prophecies. God is HOLDING OFF for a
while, in His time frame, what is written will come to pass. He
is being KIND and PATIENT right now, for the reason that YOU and
others may find the way of salvation and come to understand real
REPENTANCE, and so become a people after His name, a people
destined for the FIRST resurrection, to serve under Jesus Christ,
in the age to come.
I told you back in 2004 (it's still on the first page of
this Website) that Jesus would NOT return in this decade. Call it
what you will, gut feeling or inspiration from the Holy Spirit. I
am CORRECT! And as we get into the decade of 2010-2020 (probably
about 2014) I will tell you if Jesus will return by 2020.
The Lord is being very patient at the moment. He is in no
hurry it would seem to bring this age to a close. Why? Because
His longsuffering of wickedness and evil, is to give people like
you reading and studying from this Website, to REPENT, to REALLY
come to KNOW the true God and His holy ways and what He says
should be the way you are living towards Him and towards your
fellow man.
But time will march on, and the time will come when the
longsuffering of the Lord will be over. It will be the time for
Him to ACT towards this planet and its people, as never before.
People will wish the mountains would cover them from the face of
the Eternal.
"And (they) said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne, and from
the WRATH of the Lamb: For the GREAT DAY of His WRATH is COME;
and who shall be able to stand?" Revelation 6:16.
Who shall be able to stand? Oh God answers all over His
word, to tell you who will stand. Just read the wonderful FIRST
PSALM!!
Read it often, believe it, for it is the very plain truth to our
question. Then you also have the letters of John the apostle who
over and over again tells you who will stand in that day and in
the first resurrection. Some of the very last words of Christ in
the book of Revelation also tell you who will stand. There are
MANY passages in the Bible that tell you who will stand when
Jesus comes to judge this earth and the people on it. The
passages are SIMPLE to read, why even a CHILD can understand
them. Will you be as a child in simple understanding? I pray you
will. If you will, then the Bible will open up to you as never
before. No PhD needed, no 4 years of "theology school" needed; no
fancy classes to attend; just the mind of a child, and a steady
searching of the Scriptures, is all that is required.
For MOST of the inhabitants of the world, the ones left
alive (and that will only be a fraction of today's population),
who will not come to the Bible as a child, who will not REPENT of
sins and wickedness, then we read:
"The same shall drink of the wine of the WRATH of God, which
is poured out without mixture into the cup of his INDIGNATION:
and He shall be TORMENTED with FIRE and BRIMSTONE in the presence
of the Lamb" Revelation 14:10.
Punishment will come. God will pour it out like a volcano
blowing its top:
"And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous,
seven angels having seven last plagues; for in them is FILLED UP
the WRATH of God. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven
angels seven golden vials FULL of the WRATH of God, who lives for
ever and ever" Revelation 15:1,7).
There is ONE city on earth today that God says is the spear-
head of all UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and DECEPTION. From that city has
come that which has deceived ALL nations, for just about all
nations today follow the customs (some more some less) that this
theological city has perpetrated and planted and stamped, on the
earth's population. Even many who say they do not follow any
religion, knowingly or unknowingly, follow the deceptions, and
pagan deceptions at that, that this city has given to them.
The city is the city of ROME!! It is called Mystery Babylon
the Great, the mother of Harlots (she had daughter come out of
her in protest) in the book of Revelation. Just about all of the
old Bible Commentaries of 100, 200, 300, years ago (like Albert
Barnes; Adam Clarke and others) tell you that the Babylon of
Revelation is ROME and the Roman Catholic church. And it is so!
This city and its theology will one day be obliterated from the
face of this earth. It is written:
"And the great city was divided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell: and GREAT BABYLON came in remembrance
before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the
fierceness of His WRATH" Revelation 16:19.
Then we have the very last battle that Jesus and the saints
will have a direct part in. In Revelation 16 the armies of the
world will gather together at Armageddon, about 70 miles NW of
Jerusalem, a land area well suited for mass troops to arrange
themselves for battle. Those armies of the ten nations who at
that time give their power to the beast man will actually believe
they can win this battle, against the armies coming out of the
heavens.
The truth for us is made plain:
"And I saw heaven open, and behold a white horse; and He
that sat upon him was called FAITHFUL and TRUE, AND IN
RIGHTEOUSNESS HE DOES JUDGE AND MAKE WAR. His eyes were as a
flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a
name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was
clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called
"The Word of God." And the armies which were in heaven followed
Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should
smite the nations: and He shall RULE them with a rod of IRON: and
He treads the winepress of the FIERCENESS and WRATH of Almighty
God. And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a name written,
"KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORD" Revelation 19:11-16.
Just as a father punishes his children in one way or
another, if they do wrong, doing it in love, to help them turn
the right way, live the good righteous way, find peace and joy
and safety, so the heavenly Father will have no choice (mankind
has gone beyond the line of turning back to God's way on his own)
but to PUNISH IN LOVE the wicked of the world. It would seem now
that He has no choice but to bring mankind to their knees, to
humbleness, to REPENTANCE, but through the fires of a trial and
testing and death and sorrow, like never before seen on this
earth.
But doing this in LOVE, will be the way for all peoples to
be so sick of SIN and CORRUPTION and DECEPTION, that they will
want to say, "Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to
the house of the God of Jacob; and He will TEACH us of His WAYS,
and we will WALK in His PATHS: for out of Zion shall go forth the
LAW, and the WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall JUDGE
among the nations, and shall REBUKE many people: and they shall
beat their swords into plowshares, and their spearhooks into
prunninghooks: nation shall NOT lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more" Isaiah 2:3-4.
Oh, what a day, what an age, will be the age that is yet to
come. We pray for it to come in God's good time and within His
longsuffering plan for mankind. But be assured friends that age
WILL COME!!
