More Tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah

"And those not be receiving you, and refuse to hear your words, come outside of that house or city or town, and shake off the dust from your feet. Truly, I am saying to you, it will be more tolerable for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judging than for the people of that city." (Matthew 10:14-15)

The judgment will not be "tolerable' for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, but it will be "MORE tolerable" than for the people who hear about and reject the good news about Jesus. 

When the grace of God in saving humanity is revealed to unbelievers at the judgment of the Great White Throne, the shame will be greater for those who heard the gospel of Christ Jesus and rejected it than for those who never heard about him. 

YET, all at the Great White Throne will bow and acclaim that Jesus is Lord. Yes, they will have missed out on the thousand year reign; but will have slept through it, unaware it is was going on. Then they will be cast into the second death, to awake to eternal life in the Kingdom of God - to them instantaneous - such is the glory of the grace of God!

"As in Adam all die, thus also, in Christ all shall be made alive...death is abolished...that God may be All in all." (1 Corinthians 15:22,27-28)

Loose the Four Messengers - The Bad News

 

“And the sixth messenger trumpets. And I hear one voice out of the horns of the golden altar which is before God…

The One voice is…

…saying to the sixth messenger who has the trumpet, "Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates. "And loosed were the four messengers, made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they should be killing a third of humanity…

Wow, think about that!

The Current World Population Clock as I write this post today says there are 7.942 billion people in the world. A third of them would be 2.647 billion people.

So, who kills them, and how?

…And the number of the troops of cavalry was two hundred millions-I hear their number. And thus, I perceived the horses in the vision, and those sitting on them, having cuirasses fiery and amethystine and sulphurous; and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions, and out of their mouths is issuing fire and fumes and sulphur. By these three calamities were killed a third of humanity: by the fire and the fumes and the sulphur which is issuing out of their mouths.”

Again, if the Bible is true, there are four messengers currently bound at the Euphrates River who will lead a cavalry of two hundred million troops in red, blue, and yellow armor riding on horses with the sole purpose of killing a third of humanity by fire, fumes, and sulphur. (Revelation 9:13-18)

If this is not true, then none of the Bible can be trusted! So, look out humanity, here they come - the bad news!

And the good news? Here He comes!

"He Who is testifying these things is saying, 'Yea, I am coming swiftly.'" "Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!" The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints! Amen! (Revelation 22:20-21)
