The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Last Days, #13
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. (Revelation 15:3,4)
As soon as the Lord's witnesses have been caught up to meet the Lord in the air the bowls of wrath will begin to be poured on the wicked of the earth, just as the fire fell when Lot was removed from Sodom.
Notice that it is the making manifest of the judgments of God that will compel all the nations of the earth to come and worship God.
The sealed remnant and the great multitude will be raised from the dead and ascend to meet the Lord at the sounding of the seventh trumpet. Remaining on the earth will be the worshipers of Antichrist, and also those small nations that were not filled with the spirit of Antichrist nor did they participate in his world system, and that were not destroyed during the great tribulation. Some of these nations, we believe, will assist the saints when Antichrist seeks to destroy them, and thus will become eligible for the reward of the righteous (Revelation 12:16; Matthew 10:40-42; 25:31-46).
The bowls of wrath will be poured out as soon as God's witnesses are raised from the dead and ascend to meet the Lord in the air. This fulfills the concept that when Lot leaves Sodom, sudden destruction comes from the hand of God (Luke 17:29,30).
The bowls of wrath will be poured on the "civilized" nations, that is, where the worship of the Antichrist world economic system is conducted—the centers of politics, finance, and education.
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven was opened: (Revelation 15:5)
The "testimony" is the law of God. It is time now for God to execute the sentence of judgment on those who have despised His law and sought to establish their own way on the earth.
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. (Revelation 15:6)
It is possible the seven angels are seven saints, the term "angel" meaning messenger.
It is the saints who will judge the world.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; (Psalms 149:6,7)
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? . . . (I Corinthians 6:2)
The following judgments are not prunings of the earth in preparation for the coming of the Lord. They are the visitation of wrath on those who have rebelled against God. They do not strike a third part but the whole.
To be continued.
