The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Future Salvation, #9
For if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. (Romans 8:13—NASB)
But if we do not cooperate with the Holy Spirit in removing sin from us, then we ourselves will be removed from the Kingdom. First the sin is removed from the righteous. Then those who refuse to be delivered will be removed. They are branches without the fruit God is looking for and so they will be cut off from the Vine, from Christ.
At the end of the age, which we may be entering now, everything that is wicked and lawless will be removed from the Kingdom of God. This is why we can look forward to a new world wherein dwells righteousness.
Another parable tells us the same thing.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. "So it will be at the end of the age; the angels shall come forth, and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:47-50—NASB)
Notice that we are speaking here of the Kingdom of Heaven. The angels will remove from the Kingdom all who practice wickedness and will not repent of their sins.
This parable contradicts the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine which teaches that the righteous will be taken to Heaven and the wicked left here. It is true rather that the wicked shall be removed from among the righteous before the Lord returns, in order to prepare His way.
We are stating that this procedure has begun with those who are living close to the Lord. We must cooperate with the Holy Spirit as He helps us wash our robe in the blood of the Lamb. The time is now!
After Sin Has Been Removed From God's People They Will Judge and Govern the Nations of the Earth Until Sin Has Been Removed From the Creation.
Sin will be removed from the Church, and then the Church will return with the Lord Jesus Christ and remove sin from the world. God will not permit any kind of sin to be practiced in His creation.
May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against them. This is the glory of all his saints. Praise the LORD. (Psalms 149:6-9—NIV)
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 4:1-3—NIV)
