God wants people to know that there is coming a
day when his striving with an unrighteous, rebellious,
Truth rejecting world will be held accountable for its
mistreatment of His one and Only Begotten Son! There is only
one unpardonable sin, and it demands justice!
About 2000 years ago the owner of this vineyard sent
his son down to the earth to check for the fruitfulness
of his vineyard, and to see if the vineyard servants needed
any help.
At the appointed time; that son walked out upon the
dusty trail from Bethany to Jerusalem. Finally he came
to a prominent overlook, and there below, glistening in
the bright sun lay the city which was the apple of his
Father's eye; the city of "Jerusalem."
Immediately Jesus began to weep!
The tears in Jesus eyes while standing there on that
high vantage point undoubtedly resulted form his long
peer down history's corridor where he saw the millions
of people who would not only reject his love, but in fact
would ally themselves with the father of Evil. He surely
cried out in a loving agony over the prospect of them
reveling in an unrestrained unrighteousness!
Jesus wept out of Love!
I imagine Jesus surveyed the week that lay just ahead
of him and saw the crowds of people cheering loudly;
Crucify Him; Crucify Him; and his eyes lifted and carried on past
that immediate crowd to many more crowds that would deny
his sacrifice on the cross, and then cheer at the removal
of his great restraining counterpart. ( The Holy Spirit )
I perceive today that Jesus is stationed at the very exit
doors of Heaven; and as he gazes down upon the earth
that he is soon to visit once more; I am sure that there
is still a tear or two in his eye as he ponders the world
being in almost total opposition to his reign on this earth. Yet
he is not one that unacquainted with grief and sorrow.
In Revelation 8:1, the prophet John viewed the scene
in Heaven just prior to the Lord's judgement upon the
world; a world without any restraints: There John witnessed an
amazing sight:
All of Heaven came to an absolute silent standstill as
all the host of heaven contemplated the impending acts
that God was about to unleash on the unrestrained evil
forces of Hell and also upon unrestrained evil men.
II Thessalonians 2:6-9 says" Seeing it is a righteous thing
with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from
the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power!
There is no greater punishment for than to be
separated from the glory of the author of love. Such is the fate
of all who reject the love of God!
The focus of this article has been to try and point
out to every reader the distinction between a world
with a restrainer, and the coming world without any
restraints whatsoever. God has imparted to us the fact
that the only way evil and the devil can be vanquished
is by removing first the good fruit from his vineyard,
and then and only then will he deal with the servants
that ravaged his son.
It is said of Jesus in Zechariah 13:6 the following:
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine
hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded
in the house of my friends!
Jesus himself uttered that same resounding phrase in
the New testament: “ I came unto my own and they did
not receive me, yet there is another coming in my own
name; and him they will gladly receive!”
What will the vineyard owner do? Will he not exact his
vengeance upon the transgressors?
As I conclude this article, I can't help but sense the
Holy Spirit urging me to emphasize over and over to
those who are may read this newsletter that they need
to know that a world without any restraints is a world
given over to the wiles of the Devil ( evil ).
The world today is certainly full of evil, but there is
a great inhibitor of that evil that is actively involved on all our
behalf in restraining it from engulfing us. When that
power is removed, "All Hell will break loose".
So, take heed and do not be caught “Left Behind” in
A World that knows no Restraints!
II Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and
shall destroy with the brightness of his coming! "DON'T HANG AROUND TO TRY TO FIND OUT" Copyright©2000 |
