Complete title: THE FOUR LAST THINGS ---- DEATH, JUDGMENT, HELL and HEAVEN
I was grabbing my scapular as I was reading this and told myself that on this day, I shall hide behind our Lady’s mantle.
Doesn't it strike you odd that your church claims all this Revelation stuff is allegorical but yet it tries to pull out verses amongst the context and tell you they are literal???
Now if, according to the opinion of learned and holy men even the Angels will not be without fear in the Day of Judgment, how much greater cause will the Saints have to fear, since they must stand before Christ's tribunal, and give a strict account of all their actions.
1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
The works get burned, NOT the man...If the works don't burn up, we get a reward...If the works do burn up, we will lose rewards, but we Christians will still be saved...
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
What, we should fear the judgement of God when we have the Spirit of God living inside us???
How frightened we all shall be, what fear and woe will overtake us when our Judge looks upon us!
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
We Christians have been adopted...We do not fear condemnation to Hell...
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
We are Christ's sheep...He knows our names...
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
We Christians have eternal life...RIGHT NOW...Or, Jesus was a liar...
Now when the Judge is seated upon the throne of His majesty, all who are assembled in the valley of Josaphat, Angels and devils, the redeemed and the lost, will all have to adore Christ, as St. Paul says: "We shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ. For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God" (Rom. xiv. 10, 11).
We WILL NOT be standing in the valley of Jehosaphat...Those that stand there will be killed...Every one of them...
The valley of Jehosephat could not possibly be the Great White Throne Judgement...
Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
At THIS judgement, the earth and heaven are gone...The valley of Jehosephat is GONE...
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
And what are they standing on??? NOTHING...There's nothing under their feet...
Therefore I entreat Thee with deep humility and contrition, through Thy bitter Passion, that Thou wouldst pardon my sins and pass a lenient sentence upon me in the Day of Judgment. Amen.
A lenient sentence??? We Christians are headed home to claim our mansions...There won't be any sentence...There will be celebration...
Your church has twisted the scripture (which it doesn't believe anyway) and pulled out verses here and there to keep you in bondage of fear...Bondage to your religion...We Christians have nothing to fear...
For God's sake, and your own, Study the Scriptures...
2Ti 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Here’s a bit of info for you. A “chariot of fire” is only mentioned once in the bible, and it doesn’t have anything to do with end times. In fact, there is only one place I can find that mentions ANYTHING about Jesus riding a chariot and it is a poetic figure of speech.
So what happens to all the people who think the sign is a cross and the Lord Jesus will be an angry God riding a chariot of fire to the place where he will chastize and shame his believers? First of course pausing for effect and scowling at us while we cower and try to hide. While the angels thrust shrouds and iron gloves in our faces to torment us with guilt.
