The Daily Word of Righteousness
But What If We—Don't?, continued
"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear." (Matthew 13:40-43—NIV)
"Weed out of his kingdom"! His Kingdom!
We understand therefore that Divine grace will not intervene and save us at the coming of the Lord. Rather those who are in the Kingdom but continue to practice evil will be thrown into the fiery furnace.
When it comes to judgment the distinction in the Bible is never between Israel and the nations, or between those who have accepted Christ and those who have not, but between those who practice righteousness and those who do evil.
Jerusalem always receives double punishment for her sins. Evangelical doctrine is quite misleading in this area of thought.
We are entering terrible, wonderful days. The tares of Satan will come to maturity and the wheat of Jesus will come to maturity.
We shall see sin develop until the earth indeed is a suburb of Hell. But we also shall receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation until we know what we are doing. The holy nation will be born at once. Christ will be formed in the believers as never before in history.
An army of witnesses is being prepared that will go to every nation on earth, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom as a witness to all people: "The Kingdom of God is soon to come to earth! Repent and believe the good news!" The testimony of the army of witness will exceed in power and demonstration of the Spirit the revivals of any past era.
Christ has kept the good wine until now.
While they are bearing witness, something else will be taking place in the godly remnant. Christ, the ruler of the kingdoms of the world, will be being formed in them so they can return with Him and set up the Kingdom of God on the earth.
The eleventh chapter of Revelation tells of the army of witnesses, using the symbolism of two lampstands and two olive trees. As we understand the portrayal, the two lampstands speak of Christ and His Body and the two olive trees represent the double portion of the Holy Spirit that will rest upon them, empowering them to bear witness of the Kingdom of God to every nation on the earth.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14—NIV)
The twelfth chapter of Revelation tells of the birth of the Son who will govern the nations. The Ruling Son will be formed in the believers of today who are willing to follow Christ as He develops in them iron righteousness, fiery holiness, and stern obedience to the Father.
Both of these Divine interventions, the empowering of the army of witnesses and the forming of Christ in the believers, will be operating in the same group of people; one operation that will serve us now and one that will be activated when the Lord returns.
How about you? Do you desire to continue in the present traditions or are you willing to search the New Testament to test what we are stating?
To be continued.
