Hello My Friend/Guest,

“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death... And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.” - Revelation 21:6-8,27.

The joys which Christ imparts are like waters springing from a fountain, pure, refreshing, abundant, and eternal. It will be the perfect happiness of the believers when Christ returns to reign, His love fully manifested to them and His glory fully put upon them. Nothing sinful or unclean, idolatrous, or false and deceitful, can enter. All the inhabitants are made perfect in holiness through the blood of Christ which is poured upon all who believe in Him and presented to the Father without spot.

God was about to deprive Judah of every stay and support He had given them, the city and the land were to be made desolate, because their words and works had been rebellious against the Lord, even at His holy Temple. Through Isaiah God foretells His judgment upon Judah,

“For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator... For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.” - Isaiah 3:1-3,8.

Those who provoke God make Him their enemy and bring sure misery upon themselves. Why has He forsaken His people? Because they have learned the ways of the heathen. Judgment Day shall be upon all and all who do not have the blood of Christ poured upon them will join those that will be cast into the lake of fire. The greatest of men cannot secure themselves from the sentence of judgment day. “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” - Revelation 20:12-15.

While God did declare judgment upon all He also gives us hope, giving us assurance of the kingdom of the Messiah, and the great redemption to be wrought out by Him. God gives us this assurance through Isaiah. “In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.” - Isaiah 4:2-5.

The Gospel is the fruit of the Branch of the Lord, all the graces and comforts of the Gospel spring from Christ. Every affliction serves believers as a furnace to purify them from impurities, through the convincing, enlightening, and powerful influences of the Holy Spirit. God will protect his church, and all that belong to it, we may have to suffer from time to time, but once we leave the earth we will see no more sin, sorrow, or suffering. “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. “ - Revelation 21:3,4.

God has blessed us with His Written Word which guides us through the indwelling Holy Spirit, and teaches us how to experience the joy of forgiveness and deliverance from the guilt and condemnation of sin. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” - II Timothy 3:16,17.

There is everything in the character of God, in the ministry of Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit to inspire and confirm our confidence in His Word. God is willing to forgive and accept all who come to Him, who apply the blood of Christ upon themselves through their belief in Him. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” - John 6:37-40.

God Bless You, I am praying for you,
Christina
