The wrath of GOD.

11/2/2012

 

For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. (Obadiah 1:15-17)

In Obadiah, our next stop on our 'minor' journey, GOD speaks to the nation of Edom (in the trans-Jordan area) which was settled by the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob/Israel.  These cousins of the people of Israel had constantly harassed and tormented GOD's people and GOD was telling them that a day was coming when their own actions would return upon them in response to their sIn.  Even Petra, the famed city in the rocks wouldn't save them.  Today, Edom is not a nation.  It has been overcome by the nations around it, and is no more as a people just as GOD had said.  But as a future prophecy, this speaks to all heathen nations that oppose the people of GOD, especially in the Tribulation period.  All of their devices and sanctuaries won't save them from the wrath of GOD, which He has all ready pronounced.  And as individuals, all our efforts to be 'good' won't save us from ourselves, or from the punishment for sIn that GOD has already proclaimed.  We are all guilty before Him, and unless we are forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on our behalf, we will stand condemned at the final judgment.

Only a saving faith in Christ, which leads to repentance and complete surrender to GOD on His terms will deliver us from the wrath that is to come.  I urge you, to repent and receive Him today.   He is our only Hope, and His deliverance to those that truly believe in Jesus is just as sure as His punishment of those that reject Him.  GOD loves you and doesn't want you to perish, but to come to repentance and the knowledge of the truth.  The truth of GOD's wrath on all His enemies, and His care and mercy on those that come to Him in faith.

If you are one of the faithful, share Jesus with those you meet today.

In Christ,
Jefferson A. Sweet
