Judgment Day Visions Part 4

They became the blind leading the blind in where serving one’s self does not lead to light. God is not something you can capture, put into a cup, and have served only at special occasions. True fools of the world to think they can control God and use Him for their own ends. Indeed all seemed religious. That’s the perplexing part. It was as if they had their hands up in the air praising God, but had forgotten their neighbours. They had the cart before the horse, in spiritual terms. Indeed God says ‘if you don’t love your neighbour whom you do see, how can you love Me whom you don’t see?’. Amazing self-humiliation from a selfless God. You simply can’t get to heaven by leaving your neighbour behind, unless you want the whole world laughing at you at the pearly gates.

Only the Messiah can spare you this embarrassment. I was spared this judgment. Why, I can only say thank-you Christ. Perhaps in the future my works will be tested. In many ways I was one of these selfish people, yet God had forgiven me. I know my works were not good enough to save me and I plead “guilty”. If we humble ourselves and admit our sin He is faithful to forgive us, and from the Christian viewpoint He can do so by the blood.

The crucifixion accomplished the salvation of the race. Christ couldn’t complete the Gospel until after he died and got the victory over death. That was the ultimate plan to defeat death. Christ lives. He lives to complete the Gospel in you. That is to love you to life, with a promise of paradise, as his “bride”. A perfect spiritual union, written in a contract of blood, nothing could be so enduring. It’s an engagement ring leading to a marriage feast in the heavens. A Victory Cross in the sky!

And a Black Panther to warn there will be a judgment. Christ is the only one who can overcome a Black Panther; he is the “Lion of Judah”. I will always feel bad for the way in which we treated Christ, it just wasn’t fair, he took all that abuse, yet he did so as a lamb, God’s precious gift. And if God didn’t spare Christ for you, He must love you indeed!!

It saddens me that the Christian churches have thrown God’s law away as if it didn’t matter any more. Yes it’s been fulfilled, but it’s even more relevant than before as now the law is “established”. This is the law Jesus died for, however Christ never broke it once. If he had of he would have failed as Adam and Eve did, Christ had to fight sin and “overcome”. The Christian Reformation inspired by Martin Luther declares we are saved by grace and not works of the law. While this is true, as God needs a starting point in our conversions, a place where our works are atrocious yet God reaches us. God has made the offer to accept us based upon our faith “alone”. Yet, in a mature Christian, good works are expected. The scripture says that he who knew the good but didn’t do it will be punished more than he who didn’t know. We are to “overcome” evil as Christ did, as God honours a dedicated saint. Paul said that he who doesn’t “work” should not eat. Even Abraham had works to offer, he offered his son. That was the ultimate good work he could he could do, to prove his faith in God. God declined the offer as he was merely testing Abraham. Abraham had faith that God would “not” take his son but he offered anyway out of obedience. Abraham’s work had paired up with his faith, and he was declared righteous for believing God.

So how do we procure good works? By comparing our lives to the law. The law is as a holy mirror that reflects our true state preaching something greater than faith, which is love. The law is a law of love. Every commandment is a way to love God and your neighbour better, and if Christ died for the law, how dare any churches play it down! It is the meat of the first covenant, yet most Christians do not even know the Ten- Commandments by heart, and it is a shame to treat God in such a fashion.

The law can be found in Exodus 20 of your bibles. Enjoy learning God’s law, for through it you will see his deep love for you. He always wanted the best for you, and the law is part of the package. In heaven everybody follows the spiritual law of love. True, on their own, the commandments cannot save, but they do reveal the holy personality of God, and God will respect you if you put His law in practice. One day we will not need the law, as God will live in us fully and we will not be able to stray, but while we are still on Earth we simply need it as “a lamp unto our paths”. It is the holy personality of God Himself. God is Spirit, and the law is spiritual. The living, loving royal law, that is to “love your neighbour as yourself”, and by doing so you emulate your heavenly Father.

And why did the cross in the sky appear on a Saturday? I believe for the same reason Christ was crucified, “healing on the Sabbath”, a holy and hallowed day for all, according to the fourth commandment. So do we petition the Christian faith to move their worship from Sunday to Saturday? Good luck on that one, but the truth is God would appreciate it. I know because the Ten Commandments declare it. It is the true Sabbath for those who follow law, and the law will not pass until we get a new Earth and a new heaven, Christ’s words. That is the final question, will you honour the Sabbath? Better yet, will you honour God, who created it?

Some Christians will assert the judgment day vision is false as “there is no way to the Father but by the Son”. While this is true, do you think that God will condemn everybody who does not know Jesus in the Christian sense? Jesus said he came to the world to save it, not condemn it. What about the “meek” of the Earth? All meek men will inherit according to scripture. Christians will claim there are no “good” men. Jesus said there were no good men, only God is good. So I ask you, would God put a humble man in hell? If He is a good God He would not, and He is a good God, even a great God. Rather the blood of Christ can atone for all sin, and God will use it to promote salvation for those who do not understand its power. There is salvation for every nation on the face of the Earth. In the Old-Testament, God declares He will accept those who worketh righteousness in any nation.

And for those whose works are downright evil, is there hope? Yes there certainly is, as Christ paid your penalty. “Repent of your sins and make strait the way of the Lord”, the words of John the Baptist. If we believe in the “promise”, God will give us the “promise”, that is Christ in us. That is the ultimate promise, the realization of the truth of the Gospels, Father Abraham’s promise fulfilled in our lives. The curse of sin fully broken and true freedom, for all who can accept it. A salvation based upon grace “alone”. A “free” gift, rooted in God’s eternal mercy.

I hope this document has been of some help to you. I hope it inspires your faith and hope. But better yet I hope it inspires your love, as God is beyond faith and hope, He “IS” love. And Christ proved all of it. What did Christ say true religion was? He said it was looking after widows and orphans. That is pure undefiled religion before the Father.
“Be ye not deceived God is not mocked, a man shall reap what he sows”. Mercy will be shown to those who were merciful. And “mercy triumphs against judgment”.
God will repay all of our good deeds done to the afflicted, with “interest”, as they were His children too. .

Believe God and thank Him! Work hard for love to prove you care. If you love Him you will follow His commandments, according to John. The law is to love God with all your heart, soul, and strength, and your neighbour as yourself. This is the burden of Jesus, and also the burden he asks us to carry. . . God bless.
