THE Final Judgement

The Final Judgement May Have Begun (Matthew 24) God is the final judge, He will allow the people of the earth to destroy themselves and the earth, the earth and the heavens will be destroyed in order to allow the new heavens and the new earth to replace them. There are many verses in the bible we can study in relation to this, but here are just 4, 1. The Lord will destroy the earth with fire (2 Peter 3:7). 2. God’s wrath will be manifested in the last days of this fallen earth (Malachi 4:1). 3. This present earth will be replaced with a new earth (Revelation 21:1). 4. All the heavenly bodies will be melted (2 Peter 3:12). God is not going to allow these things to take place out of revenge or out of helplessness, but intentionally to fulfill prophecy. He permits the actions of humans evil nature and natural disasters to fulfill prophecy, to carry out His justice, and ultimately bring about a new, perfected creation. He will use leaders, whether they are His followers or are pretending to be His followers, or even evil men, to get the judgement done. But in the end all will be judged in Gods way and in Gods timing. Here is some ways God is going to allow things to happen: 1. He will allow consequences to evil choice to come. (called Gods Permissive Will) Yes, God will allow evil to defeat itself. In these end days deception is going to become more and more, to the place where even the most elect will be decieved. (Matthew 24:24) There will be a huge increase in lawlessness and moral decay. Have we not seen this in the last few decades. He is allowing us to see what happens to us, when God with draws and man moves forward without God standing in the gap. There will be strong delusion and misunderstandings taking place. We can hate those carrying out these attrosities but God is allowing them to do their own thing, and their own things are evil to the core. As people reject the truth, (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11) God will allow them to be deceived by the lies they have chosen to believe. So they choose to do evil acts, and God lets them do so. Eliminating these acts would be going back on His word that He would give man free choice, which is necessary in protraying genuine love and faith, which does not force. He allows these awful, hateful events to bring about His purpose. "Birth Pangs": Jesus described end-time signs—such as earthquakes, famines, and wars—as "birth pangs" (Matthew 24:8). So I am here to sugest that what is happening right now between Isreal/USA and Iran and their allies, they are not random acts of war, but rather they are intensifyed events leading to a new birth—the Kingdom of God. A New Heaven and a New Earth. If we study the scriptures, God is seen as permitting (and sometimes actively directing) the seven seals, trumpets, and bowls of judgment to punish wickedness and warn mankind, similar to the plagues on Egypt. I agree that during these times satan is active, but his actions are limited by God power, and he is used by God to accomplish God’s ultimate goals in the final judgement of wickedness in the world. 3. So what is God's goal? I say it is to begin to separate the sheep from the goats, spoken of in (Matthew 25:31-46) These hardships are designed to test the faithful who will go through the refining fire of the end times, testing them as gold is tested. (1 Corinthians 3, 2 Peter 3:9) as Peter explains, all of the time this is going on, God is allowing and patiently waiting alowing time to pass, so that more people have a chance to come to Him. ("not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance") before the final gaval of judgment falls. God permits evil temporary victory, so when God stands up, all of His power is demonstrated in one final swoop. And justice is served by destroying evil and defeating satan forever, which leads upto a new heaven and new earth being created. In summary, Scripture presents God as allowing a temporary increase in chaos and suffering, not as a passive observer, but as a sovereign King who uses these events to bring about the final, perfect, and just end of history. God is considered the supreme, ultimate judge over humanity, with the final judgment occurring at the end of time, as described in the bible. He will at that time evaluate hearts, look at our actions and the secrets we have tried to keep in our closets, but all will be laid bare before Him. (Hebrews 4:13) Read these scriptures and see what the bible says, and there are many more.. Matthew 24:6-8 ("birth pains" of wars/famines), Luke 21:25-26 (signs in sun/moon/stars), and 2 Timothy 3:1-4 (perilous, wicked times). Luke 21:25-26: Mentions signs in the sun, moon, and stars, with "distress of nations" and roaring seas. Matthew 24:12-14: Predicts that lawlessness will increase and the love of many will grow cold, but the gospel will first be preached to all nations. 2 Timothy 3:1-4: Warns that "last days" will bring "perilous times," where people will be selfish, lovers of money, disobedient to parents, and without self-control. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4: Mentions the rise of the "man of lawlessness" (Antichrist). Revelation 11:18: Mentions nations being angry and the destruction of the earth. Daniel 12:4: Indicates that in the time of the end, "many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase". All I can say in PRAYER is, Dear Heavenly Father open our ears and our eyes, and inlighten our minds with scriptures that will prepare us for the coming of our LORD.. ARE YOU RADY TO MEET HIM upon His RETURN
