The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Word to the Elect, #5
Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. (I Corinthians 4:8)
Will not Sodom, Gomorrah, Capernaum, and all other cities and nations that have been judged by the Lord rise up in the Day of Christ and bear witness against the "Christian" nations of today?
Is it a time for smugness and complacency because we speak in tongues, or should we not cry out to the Lord in sincere repentance so He may protect us and our loved ones during the tribulation that is at the door?
Which voice is of Christ? One voice is assuring us there is no need to be concerned because at any moment we may fly away, leaving the world and the Jews to the sorrows of the great tribulation.
The other voice is warning us to turn to God, confess our sins, and cease our wicked practices because we are entering the Bride's baptism with fire (Isaiah 4:4).
Which voice is the voice of Christ? Do you know? One thing is certain: both voices are not coming from the same source.
A shaking is coming. A separation is near. The Spirit of God is bringing the Word of Christ to the churches of today. God's chosen people will hear the Spirit and will become strangers and pilgrims among the peoples of the world and among the spiritually deaf church people.
Those who have not been chosen by the Lord will continue in their delusion that they are God's "pets"—the favored of Christ. They think that Jesus never would rebuke or discipline them for their lukewarmness.
The Pharisees who howled for Jesus' blood believed they were the favored of God.
God's elect of today who can hear His voice must redouble their efforts to walk carefully and prayerfully before Christ, turning to Him in sincere repentance and humility of mind.
Has there ever been the amount of deception present among Christian people that is true of today?
Should we be looking forward to the coming of Christ with gleeful overconfidence in a spirit of presumption and familiarity with God?
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? (Amos 5:18-20)
True, we may object, but those statements concern the unfortunate Jews who will go through the tribulation while the lukewarm Gentile believers are watching the misery of Israel from their beds of ease in Paradise.
Is this sound doctrine? Would we split the Body of Christ, the one new Man, the Israel of God (Galatians 6:16), that seamless robe, into Gentile and Jewish believers in defiance of all that Paul taught (Ephesians 2:11-19)?
To be continued.
