15 And
the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year,
were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind. NASB
How many times has the
Bible warned of impending doom if people do not comply with that which God
teaches?
What exactly does God
teach anyway?
How many times are people
told to love the Lord, with all of one’s heart, mind and soul? How many really understand this mandate? Very, very few unfortunately.
How many times are people
told that there is reward for obedience, and cursing for disobedience? And how
many times do people listen, and how many times do people disregard the
scriptures?
How many times do people
believe that they can do whatever they wish, believe whatever they wish, be an
authority unto themselves, disregard Gods teaching and
rules and mandates for society, and create their own destiny better than that
which God offers?
How many times do people
believe that they can just be nice or try to be good, and that is sufficient
for God and heaven and reward?
And yet that is the very
reason that God has established a timetable, and specific timetable for
history.And that is why humanity is
going to go down the toilet of history.
Adam and eve were created
at the exact moment and time intended in history. The flood came at a specific time in
history.Jesus came into the world at
the fullness of time, at the exact time intended by God. You were born into history at the exact
moment that God intended for you to enter history. You were not an accident from Gods
perspective.
And so, judgment comes as
scheduled as well.Your departure has
already been predetermined.
You have but to display
your intent to comply with Gods will, or not. And that compliance includes obedience to
authority as God designed over you, to obedience to the scriptures, to many
other patterns of obedience and so forth.
Most people,
unfortunately are disrespectful, disloyal to God, and have an indifferent attitude, or a compromising one at best. And one day, that will come back to haunt
every living soul.
At some specific time in
the future, the world will be full, loaded to the gills, with people who hate
truth, who hate God, and who hate Christ.
Woe, is not a sufficient word to describe the
consequences of their decisions.
There is an evil waiting
to enter into society.Four angels,
demons and their armies that are itching at the bit, to cross over the river as
it were, to destroy humanity.
A very long time ago, a
single man crossed over, from evil to truth. That man was Abram, whose name was changed to
Abraham.
At some future date, an
army of demons will cross over, and the Euphrates is the relative barrier used symbolically
for that crossing over.They will come
to kill, to slaughter, to maim, to annihilate, to kill with great violence and
terror.They will have no conscience, no
remorse, no concern for any living thing. They will not hear the cries for mercy. They will not hear the pleadings for
compassion.They will take delight,
laughable delight in what they are about to do to humanity.
And one-third, of the
population of humanity in the entire world, is going to be murdered violently.
That will be a lot of
death, a lot of stench, a total disruption of every human system in society, as
mans efforts to make his own rules, to preserve and perpetuate himself with
great disregard for truth and his own actions, will finally come to an end.
Pushed further and
further into the pit of despair, and pressed harder and harder between the rock
and the hard place, humanity will still not see the light.
Anyone has the
opportunity to free themselves from judgment by means of faith in Christ.
Everyone has the opportunity to advance to completion within themselves,
through spiritual growth.
How many times have
people been told this?And what do most
folks do?They simply do not take the
spiritual life, or Gods design for the spiritual life, seriously.
The question is, ‘Are you,
one of them?’
