RIPE for JUDGMENT

 Matthew 13:30

King James Version

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: 

and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 

Gather ye together first the tares, 

and bind them in bundles to burn them: 

but gather the wheat into my barn.

The world has little appeal for me.

I am not jaded; I am born again.

I am not bored; I am alive in CHRIST.

I am not sad; I am confident in the LORD.

The world cannot offer me anything enticing.

Except if it be of CHRIST.

If it be of the LORD.

If it be of JESUS.

The world cannot offer me anything exciting.

What could be more exciting than knowing GOD's WORD?

We get to know our past, present, and future.

We get to know what pleases the LORD.

We get to know GOD's story.

We are offered eternal life.

We become fully aware.

We get saved.

If I see the world acknowledging its sins, I'd be thrilled.

If I see the world repenting of those sins, I'd be joyous.

If I see the world loving GOD, I'd be overcome with joy.

Only thing is, the world belongs to the fallen one.

He so proudly admits that, when he tempted JESUS:

Matthew 4:8-9

King James Version

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 

into an exceeding high mountain, 

and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, 

and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, 

All these things will I give thee, 

if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

But JESUS replied:

Matthew 4:10-11

King James Version

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, 

Get thee hence, Satan: 

for it is written, 

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 

and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, 

and, behold, angels came 

and ministered unto him.

Believers belong to GOD, despite Satan's hold.

1 John 5:19

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

As the world "progresses", it actually regresses.

People have forgotten GOD, to its own peril.

The world tries its best to make us forget GOD.

It gives us deception, and many distractions.

It shuts out the Bible, from many institutions.

That we may forget GOD's love, commands, and promises.

That we may be sick in the mind.

Sick in the body.

Sick in the spirit.

Sick in the soul.

And completely destroyed.

As if that would ever happen.

All you need to do is turn to JESUS.

He takes care of the rest:

John 6:37

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:38

King James Version

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

John 6:39-40

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, 

that every one which seeth the Son, 

and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: 

and I will raise him up at the last day.

Through JESUS, we have HOPE.

That's why He was sent.

Look what these FOUR gospels have to say:

Matthew 10:34-36

King James Version

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: 

I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance 

against his father, 

and the daughter against her mother, 

and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man's foes shall be they 

of his own household.

Mark 2:17

King James Version

17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, 

They that are whole have no need of the physician, 

but they that are sick: 

I came not to call the righteous, 

but sinners to repentance.

Luke 5:32

King James Version

32 I came not to call the righteous, 

but sinners to repentance.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

I don't have a fancy prayer.

I pray daily what JESUS taught me.

I also pray that "ALL may turn to GOD, and be SAVED".

It is my most fervent wish.

For it is GOD's WILL.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

And when I mean "GOD", I refer to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

This is what GOD told Moses:

Exodus 3:6

King James Version

6 Moreover he said, 

I am the God of thy father, 

the God of Abraham, 

the God of Isaac, 

and the God of Jacob. 

And Moses hid his face; 

for he was afraid to look upon God.

A BLIND world

 

1 John 5:19

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Many will not want to admit it.

But the future of the whole world relies on how we treat the Jews.

Many will scream, and holler, raging at such a statement.

Many will want my neck for it.

But look, it is not my statement.

It is GOD's statement.

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

And yet, the world prefers to be blind.

Well, this post will open our eyes to GOD's WORD.

It will make things plain.

Explaining our pain.

Four days ago, we wrote about Satan's SECRET weapon.

When there's denial, he can be found.

Let's take the world's hatred for Jews, for one.

Many deny the existence of Israel.

Many deny Jerusalem is her capital.

Many deny genocide was committed on her people in 7 October 2023.

Many deny that her land belongs to Israel.

Where there is denial, and deprivation, Satan can be found.

A denial of existence.

A deprivation of freedom.

And the world follows willingly, and blindly, along.

We are all in danger, if we think it's okay to follow blindly.

Worse, if we are indifferent to what's really happening.

Look not only to Israel, but to the whole world.

For there is much suffering in the world.

Which nations suffer from oppression?

Which leaders perpetrate death, and darkness?

How are everyday people being enslaved?

How is the world denying the existence of such suffering?

How is man's freedom being curtailed?

How are people being sacrificed?

What is the world doing about it?

Last night, I thought about this world blindness.

And yet, I also knew why.

For we had written various articles on it.

We studied verses which clearly explain GOD's WORD on it.

And found ONE MAIN reason for all this blindness.

People don't believe in JESUS.

Proof?

Examine these two powerful verses:

The blindness of unbelieving Jews.

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

The blindness of the unbelieving world.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

The blindness of the Jews that their Messiah has come.

Matthew 23:37-39

King James Version

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 

thou that killest the prophets, 

and stonest them which are sent unto thee, 

how often would I have gathered 

thy children together, even as a hen gathereth 

her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38 Behold, your 

house is left unto you desolate.

39 For I say unto you, 

Ye shall not see me henceforth, 

till ye shall say, 

Blessed is he that cometh 

in the name of the Lord.

It's all about unbelief.

People don't want to believe in JESUS.

They refuse to believe He is the SON of GOD. 

Satan makes sure you deny the LORD's existence.

At every point and turn, to the point of exhaustion, he did, and does.

He makes sure you forget particularly about the cross.

Where he was defeated.

Recognize the great danger unbelief faces.

JESUS did not perform miracles where there is unbelief.

Matthew 13:58

King James Version

58 And he did not many mighty works there 

because of their unbelief.

Unbelievers face GOD's WRATH.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

10 But the day of the Lord will come 

as a thief in the night; 

in the which the heavens shall pass away 

with a great noise, 

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, 

the earth also and the works that are therein 

shall be burned up.

JESUS said it was all prophesied, this blindness:

John 12:38-40

King James Version

38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet 

might be fulfilled, which he spake, 

Lord, who hath believed our report? 

and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 Therefore they could not believe, 

because that Esaias said again,

40 He hath blinded their eyes, 

and hardened their heart; 

that they should not see with their eyes, 

nor understand with their heart, 

and be converted, 

and I should heal them.

Which is supported by GOD's command through prophet Isaiah:

Isaiah 6:8-10

King James Version

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

Whom shall I send, 

and who will go for us? 

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

9 And he said, 

Go, and tell this people, 

Hear ye indeed, but understand not; 

and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

10 Make the heart of this people fat, 

and make their ears heavy, 

and shut their eyes; 

lest they see with their eyes, 

and hear with their ears, 

and understand with their heart, 

and convert, 

and be healed.

How long will this blindness last?

Isaiah 6:11-13

King James Version

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? 

And he answered, 

Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, 

and the houses without man, 

and the land be utterly desolate,

12 And the Lord have removed men far away, 

and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, 

and it shall return, 

and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, 

whose substance is in them, 

when they cast their leaves: 

so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

That prophecy was about JESUS, Israel, and the world.

GOD has reserved a tenth of the Jews for Himself.

Jews and Gentiles need to know the verses below.

For our combined salvation hinges upon these:

Romans 11:32

King James Version

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, 

that he might have mercy upon all.

Romans 11:31

King James Version

31 Even so have these also now not believed, 

that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

Healing and salvation can only come from JESUS.

He was sent purposely for that.

But how many care to know?

How many care to believe?

How many care to listen?

How many care to repent?

Scripture tells us what to do:

Proverbs 3:7

King James Version

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: 

fear the Lord, 

and depart from evil.

Let's be on this, while there's still time.

The Rapture can occur ANY moment.

We will not want to be part of the Tribulation.

Revelation 6:12-17

King James Version

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, 

and, lo, there was a great earthquake; 

and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,

 and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,

 even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, 

when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll 

when it is rolled together; 

and every mountain and island were moved 

out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, 

and the great men, and the rich men, 

and the chief captains, and the mighty men, 

and every bondman, and every free man, 

hid themselves in the dens 

and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, 

Fall on us, 

and hide us from the face of him 

that sitteth on the throne, 

and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; 

and who shall be able to stand?

May people wake up to the truth that our futures are all connected.

Both Jew, and Gentile.

And that our salvation can only come from JESUS.

The very JESUS the world tries to deny.

We need the SPIRIT of GOD to teach us.

He can only teach us when we're born again in CHRIST.

Another thing the world continues to deny.

Do you really think I'd know all these mysteries?

GOD had to make me born again first.

After which, all things became clear.

Through Scripture.
