                               Judgment
Amos 5:20
Yes, the day of the LORD will be a dark and
hopeless day, without a ray of joy or hope.  (NLT)

     Although God banished mankind from His Holy Presence, He would not leave it that way. He saw how weak and helpless we were in our sin and provided the Way for us to overcome that weakness and come back into His Presence, saving us from judgment and eternal condemnation. The Lord God clothed Himself in humanity so He could live and die for this world filled with sin and hopelessness.  He came as a child and grew into manhood. He graciously suffered the same worldly afflictions that we all suffer as human beings, but as a man, He did not sin and was able to bear the sins of the world and the punishment that was justly due.  Jesus Christ not only came as our Savior, but He came so we would see, know, and experience God's love and compassion, His mercy and grace, and His sovereign power over creation. Jesus came the first time as the God Promised Messiah, but He also came to warn us about His second coming.
     When Jesus returns to this world, He will come bearing the scares of His crucifixion and He will come with fire in His eyes and with a vengeance the world has never seen.  He will come riding on a great white horse with His army of saints and angels to put an end to the evil and corruption that has been decaying our world sin the fall of man. King Jesus will remove the evil from our world and He will set up His Heavenly Kingdom on Earth where He will reign with an iron rod.  God's people will live in peace and prosperity for one thousand years and after that, the final Day of Judgment for all those who rejected His saving grace. When Jesus returns it will indeed be a fearful and horrible day for the unsaved—a day that I would encourage you to opt out on.

                                      A Whisper of Hope 
As My return draws near, dear child...come back to Me so I can protect you from the wrath to come.  I want no one left behind to suffer the fate of this evil world.  I would much rather pull you out of the wrath to come and keep you safe.

Revelation 16:15
“Take note: I will come as unexpectedly as
a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for
Me, who keep their robes ready so they will
not need to walk naked and ashamed.”  (NLT)

         “ Look the Lord is coming with thousands 
                               of His holy ones.”
                                       (Jude 14)
