“Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. Take away the wicked from before the King, and His throne shall be established in righteousness.” – (Proverbs 25:4,5)
We are not living in days which have no purpose. God is sifting those who love evil from those who hate it, in preparation for the Great Tribulation… “Watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:36).
There is only one Way that anyone becomes “worthy” to escape the coming wrath of God upon sin, and that is through the Cross of Christ. Through forgiveness of sins, Jesus alone makes us worthy… “Therefore, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him” (Romans 5:9).
Even the Churches are being sifted. Five of the seven Churches in Revelation are called to repent, to quit flirting with the world and false teachings, and get back to faithfully proclaiming God’s Word… “I gave her space to repent of her fornication, and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into Great Tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds… and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the motives and hearts.” – (Revelation 2:21-23)
The Kingdom of Heaven is coming – and what a glorious era it will usher in. The Bible gives us a glimpse into a conversation between the Father and the Son. To the Son, the Father says… “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions (sharers in His reign).” – (Hebrews 1:8,9, quoting Psalm 45:6,7)
Did you catch that? Jesus is more excited than we are! These days only prove how close we are to the coming reign of His Glory.
