God is not joking
Jeremiah 5,1 “Run ye to and fro through the streets of
Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof,
if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that
seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. And though they say, The
LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. O LORD, are not thine eyes
upon the truth? Thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved;
thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction:
they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to
return.”
Jeremiah
saw the situation of the people from Judah clearly before his eyes,
for God showed it to him. His people who He had delivered out of Egypt,
led into a land and had blessed, had forsaken Him. They stuck to their
religious tradition, however, they no longer believed the Word of
God; and they did not even believe Jeremiah when he brought the Word
to them. And God said to him: “Go and seek in the city, see
if you can find someone who believes me and is doing that which is
right. Go and find out, go out on the streets, talk with the people
and ask them. Many will say, we do believe, however it is not really
that way. If it were so, I would show mercy to them.” It was
not so long thereafter that their city was besieged. The evil came
upon them suddenly, just like Jeremiah had prophesied.
The king of Babylon stood before their gates and it was only a question
of time until the city would be conquered. In comparison to the people
who had forgotten their God, his power was too mighty. In our country,
who is asking about God? Yes, it is true, they have their tradition,
their gold and silver in the cathedrals, their idols and worship services,
all of which God hates. The law and the rights of the people are twisted
by those who have power in the nation, the reason being that they
have forgotten their God.
Therefore, God is making this nation pay the price all around. Firms
are going bankrupt, there are tax increases, unemployment, and an
increase in prices. Nothing is secure anymore, not even your old age
pension. Things are going to get worse; for if God did not even spare
his own people, nor his own city, why should he spare the heathen
who rejected him? The church of the living God is calling like Jeremiah.
However, just like at that time, when things were still going well
for the rich and those who oppressed the people, so is it still the
same way today. They live in a make believe world, an illusion, whereby,
God no longer exists; and if he does happen to exist, then HE does
not see us - that is what they think. The Word of God was completely
put out of remembrance, and also the very One who is able to prophesy
what is going to happen at the end. He is the One who has all the
answers and for whom nothing is impossible. Jesus, who can bring entire
worlds into existence at the snap of his fingers, it was he who they
did not pay attention to and lost their respect for. “Jeremiah,
go there nevertheless, tell them anyway, even if they do not want
to believe you.” He ended up going, and things are exactly the
same now for the church in this nation - we teach, we preach, while
they have their parties, while they make their plans without God being
included. That is how it was at that time. Then the day came when
they received the news that the king of Babylon was standing before
their gates. They thought what can surely happen to us, for their
false preachers, pastors and bishops said that everything would be
alright. Jeremiah was the small but loud voice among the people. What
does he want then? They laughed and mocked. Now everything was over
with. Soon this chapter will also end, for God will not be mocked.
Woe to the individual who does not take God seriously and does not
seek him with their whole heart.
This time
it will not be Nebuchadnezzar, for he has already been dead for a
long time. God will bring forth another rod, this being the antichrist
- this is not a joke; however, in comparison to him, all those who
went before him are no match. Whosoever falls into his hands, there
is no more hope for that individual. In this day and age which we
live, the spirit of the world is preparing for the appearance of the
antichrist, who upon having complete control in the way of surveillance
will eliminate every person who is not obedient to him. At the beginning,
there will be wonderful promises made, however, at the end, oh, how
terrible! That is what God says! Up until now, He has still always
been right and has always told the truth. This time, however, is also
an hour in which the people of God have made themselves ready for
His Coming. Jesus Christ will come back very quickly for His people,
in order to take them away from this earth - the time is very short!
(see John 14,1-4; 1.Cor.15:29-54) It will come like a snare over the
people of this world, from which they will not be able to escape.
God will not only allow the people to fall into the hands of the antichrist
and his servants, no, not only that, but He will also punish them
and the whole face of the earth because they go along with him and
give honour to the antichrist. (2 Thes 2: 7-12; Rev.13, 11-18)
Save yourself so long as you still can, repent before God and obey
the gospel of Jesus Christ completely. Wash your sins away and be
baptized in Jesus name. Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to escape
this time. (see Acts 2:38-39) rw
