WaxNotNeeded - Well then [book of] Isaiah
As a previous post mentioned I am reading through the Old
Testament at the moment (will parts of it). The journey started with Jeremiah –
moved on to Daniel and it now currently in Isaiah. All I can say about this
book is WOW, GOD DON’T PLAY!
Honestly, when I was in my early twenties I simply logged
for this “all to end”, I was not unhappy on this Earth, but the idea of it
being over and getting to chill with the Creator seemed (and still does seem)
much more appealing. However, as I near my 30’s and since my outlook on the
lost has changed, I am more considered with those that are blind to the truth
and after reading Isaiah 24 – I am just well “whew”.
I know that not “everyone” will be saved, I know that to be
truth, but my hope still remains that EVERYONE is, especially all of my friends
and my family. I am very well versed in Revelations and as I am reading the Old
Testament (which is my opinion is a lot more descriptive and illustrative than
one of my most beloved books) I wish for no one to suffer that fate.
We (the collective church) preaches SO MUCH on God’s love
and forgiveness, which are both VERY well and VERY good and VERY true, but I
cannot help but wonder, do we preach the truth on the devastation of here-after
enough? Do we go into specifics, not just as “you will go to Hell” but actually
what all that the separation from the Creator entails?
I will depart with this, a personal from Little 5 Points and
I had a conversation a few weeks ago. He said to me, “I wonder how many of us
are murders?” I, very intrigued by where this was going was glad he continued on
to explain. “Not in the physical sense, but rather in the Spiritual. How many
of us has killed someone, by not sharing the gospel [listening to the Holy Spirit
when He tells us to talk], so they die without have accepting Jesus Christ as
their Savior?” Wow is what I said then, and wow is what I still say now.
To God be the glory for ALL things; may we rejoice in His
peace, presence and gifts that He has given us from life to salvation to death.
We thank You Father, Son and Spirit for
all things – that which we know of and that which we don’t. May You strength
us, may we cling to Your will, may we choose Your way instead of own on, in the
name of Jesus we ask. Amen.
