All nations, people of Israel, and all churches, come near and hear!

8-8-2021 Weekly Message Meditation of the Week: Psalm 91:1-16 Text: Isaiah 34:1-10 Sermon Title: All nations, people of Israel, and all churches, come near and hear!         Through the prophet Isaiah, God gave an ultimatum to all nations, the chosen people of Israel, and the churches of God  living in the last days on the eve of the great tribulation that will befall the whole world saying, come near all of you, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.         Through the prophet Daniel, God set a time schedule for the people of Israel to be seventy weeks that is 490 years. Daniel testified that there would be seven weeks (49 years) and sixty-two weeks (434 years) from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince, and after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,  but nor for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end  thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolation are determined.  At the beginning of the last week (seven years), the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), the son of perdition and the man of sin shall appear and spreads desolation in the middle of the week (three and a half years). He prophesied that there would be a devastating great tribulation on the whole world (Daniel 9:25-26a).          The period of the great tribulation that is to come pass is a period of long-suffering of God that will give to the people of Israel, Gentile nations, and  the unregenerate Church of God who do not believe in Jesus Christ, to give them one last chance to be saved.        Nevertheless, it tells us that the wrath of God will come upon all  nations that do not believe in God to the end, and will come upon all their armies, completely annihilating them, and handing them over to the slaughter.       And their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood(Isa. 34:3)        And  all the hosts of  heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their hosts shall be fall down, as the leaf falleth off the vine as a falling fig from the fig tree(Isa. 34:4).         God said that the great calamities that occur during the last great tribulation are days of revenge against all those who do not believe in the grace of salvation through the blood that Jesus shed to take away the sin of the world. This is the day of  revenge for those who has reject the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. It shall be the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion, for all nations have been sitting in the United States arguing to eliminate the People of Israel from the face of the earth.            The prophet Isaiah, who foresaw in the Holy Ghost the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ, the God coming down from heaven to judge all the nations of the world who do not believe in him, testified: ” Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.” (Isaiah 63:1-4).           Apostle John, who foresaw in the Holy Ghost, witnessed the same sight that Isaiah saw: ” And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. …… And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” (Rev 19:11,12,13,15).          Prophet Isaiah offered a prayer of supplication to God, as Apostle John witnessed when he saw the Lord Jesus Christ coming down rending the heavens on the Day of Judgment: “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 2As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! 3When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.  ” (Isaiah 64:1-3).        Prophet Isaiah testified of the great sight he had seen that no one could ever realize, saw, or even think of: “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.” (Isaiah 64). :4)       Apostle Paul testified of what kind of person is to realize what God has  prepared for those who wait for the Lord in the future: ” But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:9-12).          God appeared in the form of a human in the name of Jesus and spoke personally about what would happen during the Great Tribulation: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matthew 24:29-30).         Jesus spoke of the faithful servants who testify for his coming to judge the world, and also evil servants without any interest in his coming: ” Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 24:45- 51)          Apostle John foretold and testified in the Holy Ghost of the most severe calamities that would occur during the Great Tribulation: “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?‘ “(Rev 6:12-17)           Through the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, the trumpet was blown to warn that the people of Israel would be destroyed by Babylon because of their transgression, but the watchmen of Israel did not blow the warning trumpet as they were busy for eating and drinking. Prophet Isaiah testified of them: “All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. 10His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. ” (Isaiah 56:9-12)         Apostle Peter testified of the false prophets and false teachers who shall be in today’s church age: “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. ….. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.‘ “(2 Peter 2:1-3,22)           God’s Word says, ”  Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. ” Nevertheless, the  servants of God who do not blow the trumpet to warn of the day of judgment with  return of the Lord Jesus Christ are false servants, false teachers, and false shepherds. Like the same shepherds of Israel blinded and dumb as dogs, and like the evil servants of which Jesus spoke, they will receive the retribution of the hypocrites and will grind their teeth in Hell. “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” Hallelujah!
