Quandary, we are left Q ponderous of how a God so loving could be filled with such rage as to promise a day of Wrath upcoming that will leave scorched Earth, plagues, pestilence, relentless and hopeless war and demons ravaging those unrelenting to God’s Call. For most it is something beyond the realm of imagination, yet they enlist themselves daily to the pursuit of Avatar escape in the digital game arena or in a search for online fame and love in profile’s properly placed for publication. I submit the imagination is a broader thing than we account it. Imagine your Earthly Father having given you opportunity after opportunity to be obedient and follow the rules of his household only to come home find you in an adulterous relationship with the neighbors wife, chasing money and fame while pimping the neighbors kids into slavery and squandering the blessing, money and position he had provided for your edification. How outraged would your worldly Father be at that point?  What if you were jailed for these offenses would he come rescue you? Perhaps once maybe several times but at some point his patience and reason would be overridden by the reality that you were just never going to come to the understanding that he presented.  What if he gave you a deadline and told you beyond this point I will not help you  and told you that it was not assigned to a specific date but that he was going to be watching and at some point would cut you off from his blessing, consider you beyond assistance and turn his back on you to allow you to pay the price associated with your behavior for the rest of your life?

Would you blame him for this position? No, then how are you still struggling with God’s point? You see He has all power authority and wisdom and is outside of time so He knows what you are going to do before you do it, yet He still waits offering grace and mercy and eternal escape from the accountability that you pressing to achieve. And there is the largest part of the story that transcends the analogy of your Earthly Father, God provided a way for you to escape the coming judgment you bring upon yourself and be cleansed of the unrighteousness that drove you to those acts and on top of that transform you for the future that He designed for you.  Additionally, and here is the greatest part of the story He provided a way for you to escape the limitations of this mortal life, ending in death and offer you eternal existence with Him and other believers doing the work for which each of us have been perfectly designed.

But Love never comes without price you say?  Certainly God’s Love is given freely as an offer to each person but the enormity and potency of sovereign action is always based in the capacity of choice. Without a choice we would not resemble God. In my dreams of late God provided me the understanding to the Sovereignty though I may have never seen it.  Imagine if you will that God created man and forced within man the constraint that he could never lie. If we could never lie then we would never have to be concerned about trust it would be certain, we would never have to struggle against the lure of sin that draws us to exaggerate and fib our way into obtaining our desires and we would never have to be concerned about  Choice, for all things would have chosen for us prior to that discerning event. What is the price of Love, well God says that “those who love me will obey my commands”.  That is God’s price of Love, He expects each of us to demonstrate our appreciation for the Love He gives and continues to offer freely with an acknowledgement of His Sovereign Authority over  all things Created by reacting in tandem to His boundaries, constraints and behaviors. If we do not reflect this obedience we are in fact denying His Sovereign Authority and telling Him clearly I do not value the love have given Father and no I will not turn from my Sovereign Disobedience to Your Will, so in effect I am choosing my own end.  The Bible says emphatically that there is a Hell, it is horrible beyond compare though the servants of satan would have you believe it is going to be an eternal party, that Hell was designed as the end for the disobedient Angels and that man chooses to go there by turning down OUR FATHER’S offer of safe return home.

I may not have chosen the Family into which I was born or my looks, hair color, body type of brain power, but I get to make the choice of not only where I will spent eternity but how this life is conducted whether in sedition, dishonor, criminality, debauchery and sin or in reflection to God’s Grace as a person who has been cleansed of that original sin and forgiven forever, being prepared by God’s Hand in this world to be with Him forever in the Next.  Will I exercise my Sovereignty in this lifetime?  That I believe, is not the appropriate question for all will make that Sovereign Choice as to where they spend eternity.  The true question is to I revere My Father enough to understand that He has set before all of us the educated Choice and that in that decision I will be Free to make my own decision to accept God’s Loving Grace or Force His Hand of outstanding Wrath, the Wrath I have forced upon myself by ignoring His continuous, persistent and patient attempts at rescue and redemption.

The Lord has made it painstakingly clear what is coming to this Earth and all those who remain disobedient to His commands, deciding to turn down His offer of reconciliation and return to the Good Graces of His Mercy. There is coming to this Earth a horrible, worldly and supernatural king that the world craves to fight against God’s Pronounced inevitable judgment.  He will promise great things and do signs and wonders as God allows to deceive mankind into believing his divinity and the world will swallow it willingly wantonly having been searching throughout history a method to escape God’s inevitable judgment.  To that end the Lord will turn loose upon this Earth, the bowls, vials, scrolls and specific judgment promised in the Book of Revelation and throughout the Old Testament Prophets. His Wrath will be excoriating, ruthless, timely and perfect in its capacity to awake hearts to the need for salvation and rescue, for that is the after all the purpose of His Wrath.  His Wrath will be poured out upon all wickedness as recompense for their decision to turn down His Grace, but it will also lovingly remind all that were perhaps deceived that God is in charge and if they want to escape the judgment they must cry out to Him for the Salvation He had once offered freely to all mankind.  This is not that complex, though everyone who would have you turn a blind eye to God’s Love and Wrath would have you believe it is too difficult to explain or gather.  God is offering, your choice is accept or decline. My job is to warn you of the implications a poorly made choice in bringing upon yourself God’s Wrath instead of observing the Abundant Joy promised in His Righteous Love.  Have I done my job, YES. Have you made the choice of Love or Wrath, perhaps, but all will either make the choice or abdicate that free will sovereign gift by not choosing and making God do the decision making for you.  You Choose.  I hope it is Love to escape the Wrath that is soon to come upon the ungodly.  IN Jesus’ Mighty Name.
