"God the same
yesterday, today and forever - Just"
I know it is hard to accept this from a human point of view
- for those who oppose the partial rapture view but as
Peter was commended one moment for hearing God and the next
referred to as Satan for seeing only from man's point of view,
the point is - God is Just. We are commanded to be
ready at all times. We are commanded to be holy, to overcome and
to endure to the end. Some will listen and when He comes for
them - because they obeyed - they will be counted worthy
to escape the things coming upon this earth. We are told
in the seven letters to the churches to Listen to what the
Spirit is saying - 7 times. If some listened and obeyed
than what of those in the churches who do not and are not ready?
Will they loose their salvation - NO, but they will not be
worthy to enter at that time and escape when Jesus comes as a
thief in the night. After the bride leaves the Church Age is
over and those who are left out are not the church any longer
but still children of God whom He says He disciplines because
they are accepted by Him. Not to warn those in the churches but
to lead them to think that they will be raptured in spite of
their behavior and failing to be ready is to not understand the
nature and justice of God. The Great Tribulation for some will
mean eternal damnation but for God's children it will produce
the gold that he seeks. WE ARE COMMANDED TO BE READY AND
ARE WARNED BY GOD WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE ARE NOT - READ THE 7
LETTERS AND LISTEN ALL 7 TIMES.
There is No double standard - both God's children and the
children of this world are accountable for their actions.
When the King sits in judgment, he weighs all the evidence,
distinguishing the bad from the good. Who can say, “I have
cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin”? False weights
and unequal measures —the Lord detests double standards of every
kind.
Even children are known by the way they act, whether their
conduct is pure, and whether it is right. EARS TO HEAR and EYES
TO SEE— both are gifts from the Lord. Proverbs 20:8-12
I correct and discipline EVERONE I love. So be diligent and turn
from your indifference.
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. IF YOU HEAR my voice and
open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together
as friends. THOSE WHO ARE VICTORIOUS will sit with me on my
throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his
throne. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and
understand what he is saying to the churches.”
Revelation 3:19-22
