JUDGEMENT

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. —Hebrews 12:25

The scriptures state that the church of Jesus Christ is presently gathered in the assembly of all assemblies: “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem….To the general assembly and church of the firstborn….” (Hebrews 12:22-23). The keynote speaker is none other than Christ and his text is the New Testament, “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” (12:24).

If you are having trouble getting into this service, I have the exact directions for you. Open your Bibles. If you will look by faith, you will notice an audio and video plug that will enable you to hear and see all that your Heavenly Father is saying and doing. In other words, every Bible comes with “headphones” that enable you to hear Jesus as he expounds his Covenant: “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures” (Luke 24:45). Likewise, it comes with a direct “satellite” feed that enables you to see all that God is doing: “For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel” (John 5:20).

Do you really want to know what God is saying? Let’s listen in as he speaks: “Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain” (Hebrews 12:26-27). This shaking begins in the House of God: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God” (1 Peter 4:17). God is fixing to tear down every pulpit that has preached doctrines that have originated at best in the mind of man, and in reality spewed from the father of all lies.

Where does this shaking end? Let’s go towards the close of the “service” as Jesus is declaring his warning of judgment: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning” (Revelation 18:4-9).

Church in America: Hear the Word of the Lord. We have mocked God our last time! I write this on a day when gays and lesbians marched on our capital and chanted, “Obama, let our mama’s marry our mama’s.” However, this is not the greatest sin committed today. The greatest sin committed today was in the churches, as the pulpit was filled for the most part by preachers who gave no warning of imminent judgment that always falls on a nation whose cup of iniquity is full. We have become like Eli who refused to correct his son’s as they committed fornication in the very House of God and caused men to “abhor the offering of the Lord.”

David Wilkerson has warned for years of seeing American cities on fire and the President not knowing what to do. Perry Stone has likewise warned of an attack on a major city. B.H. Clendennen has quoted a man who chooses his words very carefully, that something major was going to happen in thirty days. Many others have warned of a nuclear attack that comes from Russia. I hope they are wrong; I hope I am wrong.

Could it be that God sealed our fate on September 28, the Day of Atonement? According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a "book" on Rosh Hashanah and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. The ten days leading up to the Day of Atonement were supposed to be days of deep soul searching and repentance. We have not repented: How then can we as a nation escape the wrath of God Almighty?

Jesus is the only "Ark" that is going to float in these last days. In him there is safety and peace from all storms that may blow. He always makes a difference between the righteous and the unrighteous.
