Anyone who is accused of a crime must hire good lawyer to defend them. The subpoena to go to a police station means that, if that situation is not solved, it may lead the public prosecutor to report you and, if the complaint is accepted by the judge, that person will answers for a crime capable of taking their freedom away for a long time. Is man’s judgment is merciless, what about God’s?
When God warned the people of Judah about the coming of the destroyer , there was a cause that caused Him to allow Nebuchadnezzar to charge against His people. The Israelites were given the opportunity to humble themselves and repent, so that all of that could be canceled. However, because they did not want to, the Babylonian troops besieged the holy city, Jerusalem, tear down its walls and took the young people captive, the best of Israel.
In predicting the circumstances of the arrival of the mighty Babylonian army, God showed Jeremiah the horror that they did not imagine to witness at that time. The king would be desperate at the wickedness of his enemies, who would act against him and his children. I think of Jeremiah’s pain when he wrote that day’s revelation, saying that the hearts of the king and princes would fall apart.
Jesus spoke of His return and showed that humanity will be divided into two groups. The one on the right will hear the Master say: ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: (Matthew 25:34). But the one on the left will hear Him declare: ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: (Matthew 25:41b). Parents will be so desperate when they see their children marching towards eternal doom!
The agony will be great. Perhaps some will not even believe that the Lord, who is holy, will do this to so many people. Many will also say: “God is just, for He will not allow those who refused to convert – preferring to live in prostitution and crime – to live among those who have sanctified themselves and have only done good”. The Father is just in everything!
Don’t play with your salvation. If you are not on the right side of Jesus, you will be sent to a place where no one will ever leave from. However, whoever disrespects the Lord and does not make amends with Him now and with the person they have wronged, will march to the lake of fire and sulfur, which awaits the devil and his angels. Get right with God and be invited to the Kingdom, which has been prepared for you from the beginning.
The events concerning the coming of the Lord are so serious that the priests will be horrified and the prophets will be shocked. This astonishment happened to Judah at the arrival of the king of Babylon, but it was just an example of the coming of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Repent now!
In Christ, with love,

True Judge and Lord! Since we heard the Gospel, we have believed in You and persevered, lest we be rebuked at the coming of Jesus. We believe it will be done as You´ve said, so we pray for the lost to be saved while there is still time. Have mercy!
The Israelites did not believe that their land would be dominated by the dictator of the world. Those who didn´t want to hear You had to listen to Nebuchadnezzar dictate orders and marched to Babylon and stayed there for 70 years. May the lost convert and come to know Your love!
The king and the princes laughed at Jeremiah, because they thought that the prophet´s words would not come true; however, they were fulfilled. The temple did not prevent the king from destroying the walls and entering the city. Priests and prophets were speechless. Mercy! Peace!
