The Hour Glass of Judgment

| mon, march 23, 2009 |
 

Time seems to be standing still. In the midst of such commotion and change the grains of sand seem to be suspended in the hourglass of judgment.

The days ahead are numbered, each one being one last that will be endured until the trumpet sounds. The watchmen have sounded the final warnings of judgment. The call to repent has been raised. Some have heard, but for most the warnings have all but faded into the chaos of a society bent on saving themselves.

 

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' Ezekiel 33:1-6

 

The reprobate mind of a sinful man chooses willful ignorance, heeding not to the call of repentance, for judgment is not logical in the unrepentant man's mind of reason. To understand the threat of judgment, one must first recognize God as the Supreme, to recognize God as Supreme enables man to see God as judge. Only once man recognizes God as judge can man recognize the laws that God will judge by. Without God and His laws there is no judgment, this is why godless men don't fear God's divine judgment.

Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth, which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2 Peter 2:1-7

As God has faded in the hearts of men, so has the fear of His judgment.

The unrighteous man has forgotten, GOD will not be mocked. God needs no validation from man; the warning is valid when the Lord speaks it. The unrighteous man begins to think each passing day without judgment is all the more reason to discredit the watchmen's warnings to heed to God's repentance.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:7,8

The pride of man is soon to be his destruction. Too blind to see the mercy that each of these days without judgment presents, each of these days is another day to repent. Judgment held off by a merciful God who would rather see repentance than damnation.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 16:17,18

A nation is soon to be shaken by the Almighty hand of God....

In vain America tries to stop the bleeding. The bandages are full and can hold no more, like a dam soon to break, the weight of her sin will soon crush her underneath.

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity. No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; they conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web; he who eats of their eggs dies, and from that which is crushed a viper breaks out. Their webs will not become garments, nor will they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that way shall not know peace. Isaiah 59:2-8

America has failed to repent; she has failed to stop the shedding of innocent blood, homosexuality, blasphemy, and sacrilege. Daily she enforces her sins with even greater abominations. She sells her sin as just and for the greater good, she calls that which is evil good and that which is good evil.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20

She is the worst of all lepers; the disease has consumed all of her once beautiful countenance, she is blinded by her pride, too proud to see her flesh falling like the ash of destruction. The stench of her rot has filled the very nostrils of the Almighty God. The innocent screams of her unborn pierce the peace of heaven as they rush to the ears of Jehovah. She continuously grieves the very Spirit that made possible her life and liberty. Her heart has become lifeless and frigid, chilled by her continued rejection of the Savior's gift of Life. She has called death upon her head as she sings the songs of Sodom and welcomes with praise the spirits of Gomorrah. Too long she has suppressed the Truth, rejecting Truth for corruptible things, and in the foolishness of her lust she has called for the wrath of God.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:18-31

The prosperity has ended; her bull became a golden calf. The golden calf has begun to crumble, all idols are made to fall face down in the presence of the I AM. This golden calf is being burned by fire, ground into powder, and mixed with water, America has already begun to sip from this cup of judgment.

She will pay for all unrepentant transgressions when she casts down the apple of God's eye, and she will suffer before the eyes of all nations.

Too long she has ungratefully consumed, trampled, and laughed at God's mercy. Her fall will be great, how even greater will be her destruction. The mockers will mock and the scorners will scorn, like the days of Noah, she too will personally witness the Divine Hand Of God.

Do not be blinded by the same pride that has blinded her, consumed, and corrupted her. Beware; she will tremble at the hand of the Almighty God! The trumpet has been blown, now hear the watchman's warning, "The sword comes!"

HEED, LISTEN TO THE CALL TO REPENTENCE!

The Almighty God will hear those who separate themselves from their sinful ways and heed the call of repentance. Those who run to His pavilion will be protected in the wake of the shaking. Trust in the Almighty Jehovah, He is our salvation.

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore. For the LORD loves justice, and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; indeed I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; for the future of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him. Psalm 37:27-40

Continue to ask Jehovah to prepare your heart for the coming days.

God Bless, daniel
