But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness. Isaiah 5.16

The glory that the world will see at Jesus’ return will amaze everyone. In the twinkling of an eye, the saved and the lost will marvel at what will occur all over the planet. Those who live in the flesh and sin, who know a little of the Bible, will despair and begin to pray. Then, weeping, they will ask forgiveness for their transgressions, but there will be no more time for that. Be vigilant!

Isaiah speaks of this glory that will shake the four corners of the world, pointing out that the Lord of heavenly hosts will be exalted in judgment. God is perfect in His deeds. He simply carries out perfect justice. It´s good to remember the parable of the virgins and strive to have the oil; once the door is shut, it will never be opened again (Matthew 25:1-13). The anointing breaks every yoke!

When Jesus sits on the white throne, He won’t need to tell people about what they have done wrong. Because they despised the invitations sent by the Lord, under His eyes, they will confess their actions and even say that He is right to condemn them. The presence of the Righteous One will inhibit the lies normally used in the courts (Revelation 20:11-15). That will be the Tribunal of eternity, of Truth!

Why do so many people disregard the Judgment, which will send to Hell the one who rejected God’s offer? At that moment, it will be useless to promise that if you get another chance, you will run away from evil. Now, we have the blood of Jesus before the Father, which cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Believe in it and be saved!

All of Christ´s sentences will be pronounced in holiness and righteousness. The lost and those who despised the divine invitation will declare that He is righteous. Whoever turns his back on the Savior, preferring to transgress rather than obey His Word, will despair (John 3:19). The road to torment will be one with no return. It is sad to think that this will happen one day, but if the person humbles himself before God and believes in Him today, they will be saved.

Esau, Jacob’s brother, made a mockery of the birthright that he had stolen from Jacob in the womb. When he realized what a stupid act he had committed, Esau sought repentance with tears, but it was in vain (Hebrews 12:16,17). This serves as an example to those who leave their spouse and “indulge” in seemingly endless orgies. They will not get a second chance after Jesus’ return!

Repent! Ignore the fools of this world, who sink into iniquity. Appreciate the work of Jesus on your behalf, through which you can be forgiven. Let no one be deceived! Those who have been convinced by the devil that God is love and therefore – will not send them to suffer along with the evil one – will forever embitter such deception; after all, the Father is righteous too. They must not forget this!

In Christ, with love,
