Chapters: Isaiah 4-7
Message Title: The Judgment Seat Of Christ
Hello My Friend,
Judgment Day, the day in which Jesus returns, and every person dead or alive must stand before Him to be judged. Those who know Christ as their Saviour will be judged for the things they did after they get saved, those who rejected Him will be judged for everything they did, including times they could have accepted Him. Every person alive fears Judgment Day, the world calls it the Apocalypse, or the end of the world, some try to ignore it and come up with silly plans to try and save the planet, but this is all an attempt to avoid the truth. Judgment Day is coming, the only way to be saved is Jesus Christ. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” - 2 Corinthians 5:10,17.
Zion, Jerusalem and Judah at it's worse, will one day be cleansed of all it's filth, which is all the wickedness and corruption brought on by sin. Through Isaiah we get a glimpse of what is to come when Jesus returns. “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.
Everyone that is written among the living, this is every single soul that believes in the branch of the Lord, Jesus Christ Himself, and has accepted Him as their Saviour. There is a book, it's called the Book of life, this book contains the names of every single soul that believes in His from Adam. Those whose name are written in this book will be saved from judgment and will join Him in His Kingdom. “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.
The second death, this goes beyond the first death, which is the death of the body, this is eternal death of the soul and body. All those whom have not received Christ before they died physically already has their soul cast into hell, only to await the day Jesus returns. Their bodies will reunite with their souls for Judgment Day, the day when body and soul will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity. Through Isaiah, God warns of the rebellion that's going to take place as it gets closer to His return. “And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.” - Isaiah 5:15-20,30.
The mean man, those who deceive the lost, including false religion. There is a bit of hope for those who escape these mean men and or open their hearts to the Holy One of Israel. There is no hope for those who send billions of people to hell with their false doctrines and lies. “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.” - Revelation 21:7,8.
Isaiah sees a vision from God, this vision is much like the vision John had wrote about in the Book of Revelation. This amazing vision foresees the day that Jesus reigns as King, Isaiah is so overwhelmed by all this that He pleads with God to tell Him when all this will take place, and volunteers to tell how they can be saved from it. “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.” - Isaiah 6:8-12.
We do not know when Jesus is returning, it could be any day, we do know that some things need to take place before He does return. Those things are mentioned here, and Jesus mentions more warnings as well. “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. And the gospel must first be published among all nations.” - Mark 13:6-8,10.
Those who know the truth, but do not want to accept do not want to hear about Christ, in fact, they do not even want to hear what God has to say. This is not something just for us to believe today, even those of the Old Testament had to believe the same thing. Isaiah foretells the amazing prophecy of how Jesus was going to come to save more than Jews. “Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.” - Isaiah 7:10-16.
Ahaz is like a lot of people who ignore the Word of God in an attempt to justify their sinful lifestyles. They have the mentality that if they do not listen to what God has to say then they will not be judged. Ignorance does not save anyone, the only way to be saved from Judgment Day is by believing in Christ, Immanuel Himself, and accepting Him as our Saviour. People of Old Testament times had to believe the same thing, proof of that is right here, and is found all throughout the Bible. “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” - 2 Peter 3:8-10.
