Hide from the Wrath of God.
It is preached over church pulpits, talked about in church pews and lobbies, religious media output is articulating it. You see it in their facial expressions, in their judgmental and condemning quivering voices as they slam the bible on their pulpits. It dominates the Facebook and blog rants of the of the religious fear-mongers.
To these fear-mongering mongers everything is now a threat...Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau, Barack Obama, illegal immigrants, Arabs, Gays, the Government and Muslims and even Grace living believers.
According to the chicken-little fear-monger's mongering fear tactics “The Sky Is Falling In”. The gloom and doom say-ers have more faith in Islamic power to bring destruction and chaos and give rise to “the antichrist” than in God’s power of love and grace.
Parroting the religionized media outlets, the religious polarized talk show hosts and re-posting on Facebook the latest terrible acts making the news reports. People perpetuate the religionists Christian narrative of gloom and doom and the impending wrath of God in destructive destruction and they make it very clear that eternal hell awaits the vast majority of the people of the world.
One religionist's comment made on a comment made to a Facebook post says; "Seeing you are supporting what the ISIS is doing because Christians did it as well , the quicker your turn comes the better." Meaning that the faster the person faces the ISIS wrath, the better.
Though the religionists loudly, repeatedly, and confidently proclaim Christ as Lord, in reality they no longer trust that God has any real power, any true control, and inherent god-ness. They seem to have rendered God to a insignificant Deity, who doesn’t seem to have as much power to shower good on people as the devil has to shower evil upon mankind. Then again, they believe that God is the one showering wrath and evil!
Dig beneath the pious “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” shouted bible verse, and the shouting that “the antichrist is about to appear” bullhorn warnings, and you can see that they are as naked as a jailbird spiritually, they have more trust in evil overtaking people than God's goodness overtaking them.
All that pious, warfare spiritual talk is a gumming tiger dressed-up as religion. The truth is, Fear is religion's false God and according to their spouting, one they worship with complete and undying devotion.
The symptoms of Fear Idolatry are pretty easy to spot. When you’re not sure that God is there or that He’ll really come through, you start to spend most of your time defending Him when He is not around. You become a self-appointed mouth-piece for Truth, whose mission is to do the holy work of a "doctrinal cop" policing the world, (just in case God can’t or won’t make things right). You turn all of your attention to the things in other people that you’re certain really pisses God off, and you make it your sacred business to modify their behavior in the name of Jesus and if they do not modify their behavior you condemn them to eternal punishment in hell.
Such religious rhetoric indicates they know not how big and powerful our loving Father God is.
If God is who He says He is; if He is a God worth worshiping at all, then I have no right to be taking things into my own hands or be lost in hopelessness. Pessimism is not an option. Giving-in to the gloom and doomers simply will not do. Why? Because God is:
Greater than sin...
Greater than the economy...
Greater than the governments...
Greater than the Obama's of the world...
Greater than religious fear-mongering...
Greater than natural disasters...
Greater than stock market crashes...
Greater than job losses and downturns...
Greater than the judgmental and condemning people on Facebook...
Greater than the mess that you and I create that we find ourselves in...
God’s GRACE and LOVE is GREATER than it ALL!
So, do not despair or worry when they tell you that the sky is falling and the anti-Christ is about to appear, either they don't know or need to be reminded…Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:27-31)
People, the sky is not falling in, because our loving Father God is holding up the sky.
The gloomers and doomers...as in the past...will slink away with their tail between their legs and their heads hung in shame for such a shallow view of our ALL POWERFUL GOD and the POWER of HIS NEVER FAILING COMPASSION, LOVE AND GRACE!
Things are going to work out, His plan for humanity will prevail despite the gloom and doom of the fear-mongers.
In the words of God Himself..."BE NOT AFRAID." He has all the bases covered
Here is what Jesus said to John in Revelation 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
ReplyDeleteWhen Christ breaks first seal a white horse goes forth.
When Christ breaks the second seal a red horse goes forth.
When Christ breaks the third seal a black horse goes forth.
When Christ breaks the forth seal a pale horse goes forth.
Then Christ explains to John what will happen when each horse goes forth.
For instance: And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
I`m sure there was people back there in that day saying like you don`t listen to John he`s a fear monger.
Paul warned about the last days in 2 Tim.3:1 This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come.
I guess Paul was another fear monger.
Christ warned about last days.
Peter warned about the day of Lord.
So here is how to tell a true grace preacher from a false grace preacher.
A true grace preacher will warn about the last days.
You are right when you say and I quote: Things are going to work out, His plan for humanity will prevail.
There is coming a day when Isaiah 53:11 will be fulfilled. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:
Here is a description of our victorious Christ when he comes back for Battle of Armageddon and brings us back with Him.
Revelation 19:11-21King James Version (KJV)
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 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.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
After God prepares a great supper for us known as Marriage Supper of Lamb, when His grace people are fed God is going to.prepare a great supper for birds of air known as the supper of our Great God.
ReplyDeleteBut God is not going to let the birds get a taste of antichrist and his false prophet for we who are the grace people of God will watch as antichrist and his co worker is taken and cast alive in lake of fire.
Then it gets better. We are going to watch as our victories Saviour takes that old devil and casts him into bottomless pit for 1000 years because. The reason for this is because God is not finished with Satan yet. Satan will be let loose for a little season before he is cast in lake of fire where the antichrist and false prophet still is after 1000 years.
So it's not all gloom and doom. The last book of Bible says we win.
