A Series on the Last Days, What Must I Do?
#2 The Wrath of the King
God’s love includes judgment. This truth is evident in the Scriptures and through the working of the Holy Spirit in these last days. It is both scary and obvious to believers and non-believers alike that God not only offers love but also judgment. God’s judgment can either be in your favor or it works against you. One cannot have it both ways.
As the Bible states in Hebrews 10:13, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God,” when we find God, we find not only His love but also His judgment. The justice of offering love and judgment is that you have a choice. God does not pressure you into a decision nor does He force Himself on anyone. You get to choose, and it is your choice (an act of faith) that opens a door to His love or to His judgment.
We always have a choice that’s what makes God a fair and righteous judge. Your choice, your consequences, your outcomes. But make no mistake, God’s judgment is always right and just no matter what you might feel or desire. This is the essence of the Fear of the Lord. This is how the concept of the Last Days or Armageddon will play out in this world. It is embedded in the Wrath of the King and a fair and righteous judge.
Repeatedly through examples in the Scriptures, it is the Fear of The Lord that guides individuals into the will of God and eventually receive God’s great mercy and redemption (Isaiah chapters 61 through 63. The best two examples of the fear of God manifesting itself are the life of Job (Book of Job) and the death of Christ (the Four Gospels). When everything is falling apart God’s judgment is at work and your redemption is only found in the fear of God. It is this truth—from the judgment of God, keeping the fear of God, to eventually the redemption of God.
John, the disciple of Jesus, saw it all—all the events of the last days and the coming of Christ. It scared him. He saw the Christ of Judgement and when he did, he fell at the feet of Christ as if he was dead, but it is this Christ that we find redemption if only we will accept the will of God, the wrath of the King, and the redemption Jesus offers through His blood in these last days.
God showed John all that was to come and what is to lead up to the Second Coming of Christ (read the Book of Revelation). John was fearful, he had never witnessed the Wrath of the King (the wrath of Jesus Christ), but at the end of the Book of Revelation, John says, “Come, Lord Jesus, Come.” John accepts this Jesus—His wrath, His dominion over all creation, and His redemption.
We must do the same. All nations will be destroyed even America. It will not be easy to accept yet those that do not give up their faith, trust, and love of Jesus Christ will be saved. Satan, the Devil, the Antichrist, and the Beast will offer you hope, but not before you worship him, accept his ‘mark of the beast’ in your body, and do what the Devil tells you to do.
That is why I pray almost every day too, “Come, Lord Jesus, Come!” Scared yes, without hope no. I want and accept God’s will to be done—this is the Fear of the Lord, and this fear will save me and all those who also fear the Lord.
