In these last few days, (almost every other day) as I open my Bible, the Lord is bringing to me Scripture portions of an Imminent Event soon coming upon the face of this Earth.
But before that, let me say, today just like the world, (as I sadly see around). many in the Church, want to hush things up, in rather being politically correct like the world teaches us to be, than to be correct with God. One such expression is, in avoiding talking/preaching on Taboo Words in the Bible.
One of those taboo words, being The Wrath of God in spite of its repeated presence, found through the Bible(in God warning His people to repent and turn back) In fact the Lord Jesus starts His ministry with that very prophetic theme as we read in – Mark 1:15 The kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe.
We Christians are sadly mistaken (like the Jews were); in thinking that God’s divine wrath will not upon His own people. For, the Righteous Judge, will judge the disobedient children. We see that truth, right from the very first chapter in Book of Genesis to the very last chapter in the Book of Revelation.
In the prophetic Book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus repeatedly reminds His Church, several times, to REPENT and OVERCOME to escape this prophesied coming wrath of God.
We need to remind ourselves, what is WRITTEN will and has to come to pass immaterial of us (building a rosy picture around us, however romantic or soul stirring it sounds)it will eventually boil down to, not what we think or what we have been taught but only what is WRITTEN.
The Holy Bible talks about the The fierce wrath of God that will come on the DAY of the Lord and we cannot dodge that bullet. And guess what? It’s round the corner!
1 Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead,that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.
Revelation 19:15
From His mouth comes a sharp sword.
so that with it He may strike down the nations
and He will rufe them with a rod of iron,
and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.
Yes, the prophesied Divine wrath of God is to come and will come, and if you are still thinking, Why? Because firstly what is WRITTEN will come to pass and secondly because THE LORD GOD IS A HOLY GOD and cannot tolerate evil.
Think about it, the very reason Adam (along with Eve) were sent out from His House/Holy Abode is because of DISOBEDIENCE Right ? Or are you in any way thinking That God is now ok/cool/overlooks sin found among His people? Well whatever you/l think, the truth is that the answer is A big NO!
God is the same God, yesterday, today and forever and His character and attitude to sin has not changed from then. Yes, Jesus came to save us from sin. For The name Jesus means saves us from our sin but also wanting us to sin no more.
That’s why Hebrews 9:28 & 10:26-27 brings that Truth, that when the Lord Jesus returns, Jesus does not come to go to the cross all over again but takes the obedient only, when He comes the Second time.
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 10:26-27-26 For if we go on sinning wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES
If you are intrigued to know more on this truth, please read:
Ezekiel 33:13; Luke 21:34-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-13; Revelation 2:5; Revelation 3:2-6, 10; Revelation 21:6-8.
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God and if begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
Now if the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?
(1 Peter 4:17-18)
For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Let no one deceive you with empty words for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience
(Ephesians 5:5-6)
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality impunity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry
For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience
(Colossians 3:5-6)
The Prophetical Verses below are imminent!
Jeremiah 7:26,29 Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers .Cut off your hair and cast it away and take up a lamentation on the desolate heights for the LORD has test and forsaken the generation of His wrath
Ezekiel 30:1-3. The word of the LORD came to me again, saying Son of man prophesy and say Thus says the Lord GOD Wail Woe to the day! For the day is near even the day of the LORD is near it will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentles
Lord Jesus as in Matthew 8:11-12:
“And I say to you that many will come from east and west. and sit down with Abraham Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
John the Baptist as in Luke 3:6-9:
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire (realised that those words of John the Baptist was actually prophetical to our Generation, aff obedient believers are all going to see the salvation of God and others the wrath of God)
Revelation 2:5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen and repent and do the deeds you did at first or else, I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place Unless you repent
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
(Revelation 19:15)
For the day of vengeance is in My heart and the year of My redeemed has come.
(Isaiah 63:4)
Seek the Lord, All you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances Seek righteousness seek humility, Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the LORD’s anger.
(Zephaniah 2:3)
