Do you think judgment will never fall? If you do, then this I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer in the futility of your mind, being darkened in your understanding excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in you because of the hardness of your heart [Ephesians 4:17-21]. Judgment is as sure as Death and the Rapture. Read the Book of Revelation, God’s Book of Judgment, and find out for yourself what’s in store for those who are not ready for the Second Coming of Christ.
For Thus Saith the Lord, My Spirit will not always strive with man. I will turn you into darkness, and I will never shine My light upon your path again. I am reaching out daily to you, seeking to draw you into My arms and to breathe upon you My love, grace and strength, but your mind is occupied with other things. You don’t have the desire to draw nigh nor to hear what I am saying to you, because the devil has your attention, that you can’t even hear me. I call and call, but there is no answer – and then when you do answer, you are so drowsy you don’t know what the Spirit is saying. I tell you; one day, My Spirit will just say, sleep on. But now My Spirit cries to you, “Awake! Awake!” while there is yet still time!
Open thine eyes and know that I keep My word of Judgment just as I keep My word of Salvation and Deliverance. Don’t let the enemy deceive you. Don’t let him deceive you in anything that I have said to you. You who have neglected your souls salvation. Believe Me when I say, you will be cast into Hell if you don’t repent, into a lake of fire from which there is no escape. I the Lord thy God have foretold many things, and all will be fulfilled – My word shall not return void!
They refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears. They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen, so the Lord said, “I’ve had enough, blow the trumpet [Revelation Chapter 8].
I have for a very long time held my peace; I have been still and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once [Isaiah 42:14].
There was no doubt in Zephaniah’s mind that God had had enough. His people bowed down to other gods and no longer turned to the Lord in prayer nor did they seek his help. They blindly walked their own selfish and greedy path and, in their arrogance, thought God would sit quietly by and do nothing. They were wrong! “Listen, the cry on the day of the Lord will be bitter… that day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish… [Zephaniah 1:14-15]. For there is no shortage of fire and brimstone to be found in the Bible. [Revelation 21:8]. It’s clear from the opening pages of Genesis that there is a wrath of God, which abides on every ungodly man. For it is written, “God is angry with the wicked every day.” [Psalms 7:11].
What does this mean for us? It serves to remind us that we need to take the words of the Lord to heart. What He says will happen, will happen. What He promises, He will do. Do not trifle with your salvation. Be like the wise virgins in [Matthew 25] and prepare, because I tell you like a tidal wave, judgment is heading towards us.
