The Angel of the Lord.

11/27/2012

 

I saw by night, and behold a Man riding upon a red horse, and He stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind Him were there red horses, speckled, and white. Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be. And the Man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. And they answered the Angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. (Zechariah 1:8-11)

The vision of Zechariah.  A vision of the Angel of the Lord, our Lord Jesus Christ, The Eternal Son, in a pre-incarnate form to bring a message of warning and judgment to Zechariah.  GOD had brought destruction to the people of Israel because of their sIn.  While they seemed to be at rest and had returned to the land GOD had promised to them, their judgment was not yet complete.  And this vision also holds for a future time, when GOD will once again turn His attention to His people, and draw them back to Himself that they as a people and nation might be saved.  It is also a time of great destruction brought upon the whole earth in judgment for our rebellion against a Holy and Righteous GOD.   Along the way, GOD has and is orchestrating events to prepare the way, not only for His first coming, as the GOD-Man, but also His second as Judge and King. 

Receiving His free gift of love and forgiveness by surrendering to Him on His terms now, means we are safe and secure not only from His wrath at judgment, but also from anything that He might send in judgment of this world.  That doesn't mean that Christians are exempt from calamity or natural disasters, but it does mean that when GOD sends specific judgments on sinners He is not aiming at us.  It also does not mean that we are forgiven to go out and sIn as much as we want; NO it means we now want to sIn less and less, and that our desire is to be like Christ and that we are free from the penalty of sIn.

Those that are not in Christ, having never received His mercy and the new life that comes from being born again are still under condemnation because of sIn.  And while seeming to be at rest in this life, will experience a judgment to come that GOD must accomplish on those that die in their sIns.  He is Holy and just, and must punish sIN, but He is not willing that any should perish and wants you to come to a knowledge of repentance and of Him.

If you already know Him, tell others that they might believe and become a child of GOD through Jesus Christ.

In Christ,
