Exodus 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth
Deuteronomy 32:4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Isaiah 1:28And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
The Lord said,
“Am I not longsuffering? Am I not merciful, full of grace? Not willing that any should perish but all should repent. I will send My judgements because they have gone their own ways, they have rejected Me, the Lord their God, the one who made them, Me who created all things am hated by Man. They despise Me and My word, they trample My blood underfoot, they run to do evil, they hate My own, they love the darkness they flee from the light. Yea they have turned from Me, yea they have gone their own ways. But I the Lord am not mocked for I will surely give them what they deserve, I will surely give them what they have earned from their many sins, yea they have turned and I the Lord shall pay them back. Look and you will see with your eyes, destruction, destruction, their tears will flow like rivers and their cries shall be heard. They shall say “hide us oh mountains, from the Lord God Almighty”, but they shall not escape, no they shall not escape. They have trespassed against Me and I the Lord shall punish them.”
2 Peter 3
1This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2That ye 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 Saviour: 3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8But, 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. 9The 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. 10But 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. 11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Comment:
God is just and His judgement is a righteous judgement, let us not be found wanting in the day of His wrath but let us be found of Him in peace, spotless and blameless. Let us have ears to hear what the Spirit says in this hour and lean upon the Lord our God alone.
Love in Christ
James
