GOD IS JUDGING AND HERE
IS WHY

God is now standing up to
judge. He is going to send multiple
cataclysmic judgments suddenly and at the same time. Though He sends signs from the heavens and the earth below,
earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, winds, heat and cold, though He sends a lack of
food and water, pestilence, plagues and wars, though there is political
oppression and tyranny the majority of the masses will refuse to repent. They will NOT.
God will extract through
the judgments a few souls in repentance.
They will be broken and sincere hearts that tremble at God’s Word. But the multitudes will insist upon rolling
with the punches. They will band
together and fortify insolent opposition to the Almighty God. They reject His call to repent and believe
upon Jesus Christ. The harsh steady
impudence of humanity will increase with the escalation of God’s fierce
judgments. The Spirit of God gives
witness that as God’s holy righteous judgments unfold in increasing vehemence,
so to will be the hardening of the rebellious hearts of the rebellious
peoples. The clash between God and the
disobedient will heighten to the point of a literal battle. The scripture prophesies an actual war
instigated against God as the deluded Kings of the earth and a religious system
repugn the supremacy of the Great King the Almighty. (Psalms 2; Revelation 17:4; 19:19)
Now then, God is judging
because He has been provoked to great wrath.
He has given Jesus, raised Him from the dead, given the Holy Spirit, the
Scripture, faith, grace and repentance.
God says, ”What else could I have done?” (Isaiah 5) God is furious that after all that He has
done for mankind, He is shamefully treated.
For His love, He is offered contempt.
He is a great King. Where is His
honor? Where is His respect? (Malachi
1)
The Spirit of God bears
witness that indeed God has hurled His judgment into the earth. It is inbound. Now, the Spirit of God instructs His watchmen to tell the people
why He has done this. Understand
this! God is love. But His love has been spurned. He has been PROVOKED. God recorded in the Scripture His dealing
with Israel-- His own people. How that
after He had delivered them through the Passover, representing Jesus Christ the
innocent sacrifice, taken them through the Red Sea, representing submersion
into the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, gracious miraculous provisions
in the wilderness, again symbolic of Jesus our proficiency, the majority of the
masses provoked God to great wrath.
Great wrath! To the point that
God sought to destroy them and overthrow them in the wilderness. Make no mistake about this. This was written for your warning. You O people were to learn from the erring
ways of the ancient forefathers.
Do you think that anyone
can commit the same evils as ancient Israel and escape the same judgment? God specifically said in 1Corinthians 10
that His dealing with Israel in the wilderness was written for everyone’s
admonition and learning. It is clearly
stated, “don’t be ignorant! Read this
passage again. Note the sins.
Again, I am telling you
WHY God is judging! The children of
Israel sinned in the wilderness by lusting after evil things, they were idolaters,
they ate and drank and rose up to play, they committed sexual immorality, they
purposely tested God, they murmured against God. God has provided liberty from corruption through the death and
resurrection of His own Son Jesus. To
carelessly and brazenly sin against God is to lie against the truth of
God. He will not tolerate it any
longer. The cup of iniquity is filling
up. The stubborn continue to reject the
voice that speaks from heaven. So, this
is why God is judging. There is no
escape outside of repentance and faithful abiding in Jesus Christ. (Hebrews
12:25)
And
I heard another out of the altar say,
Even so, Lord God
Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. Revelation 14:7
