Crisis and the Kingdom of God
Today’s Focus: Judging the Nations by the Standard for the World
Scripture: Micah 4:3; Romans 1:18-20; Hebrews 6:19
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Now we know that God’s judgment is righteous and pure. We know that God does not make a mistake in His judgments. Now God puts forth a pattern in the Earth by which he holds men accountable. For example, the Law was given and it established what was right and wrong and the consequence of both. Hence depending upon which you fall on there is a just law that convicts you or acquits you. When God judges the nations that is spoken of in Micah 4:3, he does this in a unique way. He holds them accountable to a unique standard. That standard is the sons of God. Let me show you this scripture because the wicked people have a template before them that they can either choose God or choose hell and whatever choice you make, that is it.
Romans 1:18-20: The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
So God has put a standard in the Earth, which is His House or family, that by them and the righteousness of God that flows through them, those who hold on to ungodliness with the truth consistently available will be rightly judged by God because the invisible things of Him (God) are clearly understood by the things that are made (Sons). A great example of this is Noah. God found grace in Noah (Genesis 6:8) amongst all the wickedness in the earth. Remember evil was consistently on the mind of man and it would be through Noah that God would announce His judgment (It is going to rain) to the world. So God had a remnant in the Earth, through Noah to bring judgment to wicked men. So it is the sons of God that God will use to rightfully judge the wickedness of mankind because they will not hold to the truth. The wrath of God is poured out on the wicked, not the righteous.
But keep this in mind, if you call yourself a child of God and you continue in sin, God will punish you more because you should know better. The Scriptures say that God will judge His House first and woe to them who do not heed the gospel.
The sons of God are the standard of the world that God has established and they are exalted in times of crisis because through them and their submission to the Kingdom, the glory of God is revealed in the Earth so that all men can see the power of God within them.
Hebrews 6:19: Which hope we (the sons of God) have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
In the times of crisis, anchor your soul to Christ and watch the glory of God be revealed.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
