Scripture: 2 Peter 2 v 18 - 21: "For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them."
It's is very heart wrenching to see videos of our oceans being severely polluted, also rivers, air and land. The highly toxic solar panels, when they stop functioning, are being buried in parts of Africa.
Nuclear waste has been buried at sea and may be leaking out and killing fish and marine life. Global warming has been blamed on various types of air pollution. Why are we so cavalier about this planet called Earth?
Man is Earth's enemy when it comes to pollution, and its beyond fixing already. Controlling carbon emissions at some future date for example is a farce because its already out of control. It's just kicking the can down the road.
Our real pollution problem has its origins within our souls where the real pollution exists. It is called sin. This is an unpopular word these days because it gives us a low self image and a loss of self-confidence. This is detrimental to our well-being and is politically incorrect.
However we have all sinned and fallen short of the standards God has set for us. If we keep hiding and burying our inner pollution it will manifest in the things we do around us, and if we do these consistently it will affect the entire environment. Which it has.
Thankfully, Jesus is coming soon and in the 1000 years of peace He will restore this Earth and air and sea to the way He created it. The only people who will be here with Him are those who are born again and cleansed of sin. We will also be with Him in Heaven for eternity and He must ensure that our souls are pure of all emotional, mental, carnal or spiritual pollution.
The first time round sin was found in Archangel Lucifer, who was cast out of Heaven with his equally polluted angels, and now resides in Hell. The war is on because he found a way to pollute humans with sin and there is no way God will allow Heaven to go through this again.
No sinner will make it to Heaven.
None.
If you think God's love and mercy will sovereignly give amnesty to those who reject His Son Jesus and the salvation He won at such a high price, then rethink your position and adjust your expectations. When the Wrath of the Lamb, which is the second 42 month period of the Great Tribulation, descends on Earth, the followers of the Lamb will have been taken out from the Earth in the Rapture.
They who are cleansed of sin will be absent from this planet. Those who are polluted with sin will be here to face the heavy music. Think of Egypt just before the Exodus, plagues of frogs, flies, fleas, rivers turned into blood, killing all marine life, terrible darkness, etc. Now add tsunamis, earthquakes, pandemics where there are no more medicines, volcanic eruptions, wild animals unleashed, wars, and every nightmare come to life. Happening on a daily basis.
Whatever people have done against God or His people will be visited upon those whose names are not in the Book of Life of the Lamb of God. It is called the second death. It's the consequence of not believing in Jesus and being born again. It's for mocking God and those He has saved for trying to save lost souls. The first death was before the foundation of the world and it caused us to be born in sin.
God never intended Hell for human beings, it was created for the Devil and his angels. He had to enlarge it when the unthinkable happened. Humans preferring to sin than to be righteous with God.
This is raw theology but so many are now being nice to the Devil so he will be nice back when the time comes. It's gone viral on social media. People are falling for it. Churches which are supposed to be sanctuaries have lost the plot. To keep their members and their money rolling in they must give them the entertainment and social amenities they crave.
They must preach a social gospel and be tolerant of sin, not using it as a rod to change their lives for the better. It's come as we are and stay as we are, as simple as that and church after church has rolled over to accommodate them. Super Grace is the preferred message. No matter what you do God has forgiven you, even if you sin continually you will be saved.
That's not what Jesus died for. He cleansed us and expects us to stay that way. He will forgive us if we repent.
Hebrews 6 v 4 - 6: "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."
1 John 1 v 6 - 7: " If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
We must walk in the light, Jesus is that light. If we say we are saved but walk in darkness we are lying. Everyone who lives by these or any other lies will not make it. They will face the Wrath of the Lamb.
I cannot make this blog look pretty. I cannot pretend to be anything but a watchman. Danger is all around and to survive you need to get radical. Evaluate your chances of survival by sitting on the fence, or pew sitting and allowing the nonsense gospel to continue unchallenged. Open Your eyes to what is coming and get into the perfect will of God no matter who or what contradicts it.
I follow Jesus. I submit to His will. I am determined to spend eternity with Him. I am endeavouring to ensure you all are with me. I pray for you, family, friends and strangers, that you will heed the words the Lord pours out through me, the scribe of zero importance, in this blog. Whatever He uses this vessel to achieve, the glory is all His. I am always available for Him to use as He wills.
If your family and friends don't know Jesus, think of what their future with the Devil will be. Don't stop thinking about it till you have done something to change their destiny. Whether they mock or reject you, write you off or slander you, do not let it deter you. I was visiting my brother but not saying much. He asked why. I said if I am unable to talk to you about Jesus, I would rather talk to Him about you. It opened the door and not long after he was saved.
Surprisingly, the country with the fastest rate of people getting saved today is Iran. The hunger for truth has exploded in Iran in the past few years no matter the militant Islamic threats against converts. They would rather die in and for Jesus than live without Him. Now that's radical.
Be bold, be strong, for the Lord our God is with us.
Prayer: Heavenly Father As our time on Earth runs out, our lives should be spent making a difference to the lost and fallen souls all around us. Let us forgive their wrong intentions and find novel ways to approach them with the truth about Jesus. We will have the profound peace of Your approval and joy over every one that finds their place in Jesus. Help us to do it right now Father. In Jesus' name. Amen.
