Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation 14:6,7.
This solemn appeal is one of three messages that are contained in the Earth's Final Warning found in Revelation, chapter 14. Yet, what is happening in the world in spite of this warning is similar to what is described in the book of Romans:
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And 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 convenient;
29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:18-32.
History, or rather man repeats himself; Because man fails to comprehend that God is longsuffering, yet, righteous.
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. ... And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:3,5.
The time will soon come when the Lord of Lords; The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, will finally give His final plea for man's obedience and repentance. He intended the book of Revelation, and specifically the Three Angels' Message to awaken mankind out of its spiritual rebellion. His arm is still outstretched offering salvation and His eternal care. Will you heed His call? Will you place Him before everything else? Will you obey and repent of your sins? He will soon send His Son Jesus Christ to redeem His faithful children. Will you be one of them? Take this moment and ask the Lord to forgive you, and accept you as His Son or Daugther. He will not reject you, if you are honest and faithful. He is coming in the clouds with a host of angels, very soon. Strive to be in that small flock whom will rejoice when He returns. Blessed be His Holy Name. Glory and Honor to Him.
He is still calling, Listen. Can you hear Him? "The hour of His Judgement is come".
Maranatha.
Arsenio.
