The Wrath of the Lamb
2002-07-01
The nations of this world system are soon to enter into the time of
"The Great Perplexity" predicted by the Lord Jesus Christ in Luke
21:25. Confusion in political circles as to how peace and security can
be attained among different religions is even now quite apparent. This
will only intensify! The religious holy war mentality is taking root
around the world, even in Christendom. Very few political leaders even
dare acknowledge that religion is one of the core causes of today's
troubles for fear of intensifying the madness. None of them understand
that Satan is their real enemy and the unseen power fomenting the rage.
Islamic terrorists and their state sponsors of wrath like Iraq, Iran
and Syria are, with each explosion, creating great hatred and calls for
revenge and justice. The other Islamic political leaders are having
great difficulty in heartily joining President Bush's war on terrorism.
As I wrote in the article, "The Plot to Destroy Israel," September 11
was D-Day or the day of decision for the Islamic leaders. Mr. Bush is
giving them time to make up their minds which side they are on before
he makes any more regime changes. Likewise, the God of Israel is giving
all of mankind time to make up their minds about the Lord Jesus Christ
and his return as the King of Kings. World War III, the mother of all
holy wars, will be waged with the God of Israel intervening
supernaturally, thereby causing the nations to join together to fight
against him. For those of you who think I'm crazy, keep reading.
The opening of the 6th Seal in Revelation 6: 15-17 declares......"And
the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave and every free man,
hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains, And said
to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of
him, and from the wrath of the lamb; For the great day of his wrath is
come, and who shall be able to stand?"
The apostle John penned a phrase that Christendom desperately needs to
understand. As John was receiving the vision of the opening of the 6th
Seal, he also heard the voices of the world's leaders crying out, "hide
us from the wrath of the lamb." Just recently the impact of that phrase
rekindled a truth within me. Think about it for a moment. A lamb, which
by nature, is essentially defenseless and harmless, is angered causing
the great leaders of this world to cry out to mountains to hide them
from his wrath. Jesus Christ is that lamb, who when he came the first
time was harmless and defended not himself when they nailed him to that
humiliating, hideous cross. By Jesus allowing himself to be killed
reveals just how distorted and perverted man's concept and
understanding of God actually is. When God came down from Heaven to be
with his people, his creation, we killed him!
Has most of Christendom been misrepresenting Jesus and his return to
the people of the world? Do people think that Jesus was all about love
and forgiveness and that he would never harm anyone, let alone send
anyone to Hell forever? I receive letters almost every day from people
who think just like that. They can't fathom a Jesus who is anything but
a lamb. They say the God they know would not ask us to forgive and love
our enemies and then kill his own enemies and send them into eternal
torment, thus making God a big hypocrite. My answer to them is simple.
Jesus is described both as the lamb of God and the lion from the tribe
of Judah. His word is a double edged sword; one edge is the love,
mercy, and offer of forgiveness from sin by his shed blood on the
cross; the other edge of the sword is the justice, wrath and
condemnation for rejecting his grace and choosing a life of sin. He
will not force one person to live with him and it is only right that at
some point in time he must separate those who hate and reject him from
those who love him. My friends, that day of separation and judgment is
at the door. But, until that day, when Jesus returns in fiery judgment,
his followers are to demonstrate the cross and loving edge of the
sword, while warning the rebellious to flee the wrath to come from the
other edge. Sadly, others in Christendom have isolated Islam as the
face of the Antichrist, and are encouraging Christians to make war
against them. By doing this they have polluted the bloody cross of
Jesus, and have joined the holy war, thus becoming antichrist
themselves.
When those days of Judgment come to a close the world leaders will
finally understand that Jesus is also the judge of all men. But instead
of crying out in sorrow and repentance, they try to flee from him,
which means they still despise him and his ways. From where do they get
such a phrase, "hide us from the wrath of the lamb?" Remember, the 6th
Seal is a prophecy (as are the first five) of what is to come to pass
during the time of God's judgment. These Seals are opened and read to
those who are in Heaven. When the 7th Seal is opened, then the
prophecies of the 6 Seals begin to become reality on the Earth. The 6th
Seal prophecy is fulfilled in the 7th Bowl judgment, which is at the
end of Daniel's 70th Week of 2520 days. God's two Jewish prophets and
144,000 witnesses have already warned earth dwellers that Jesus , the
sacrificial lamb of God, is alive and coming back with wrath and
judgment. This is where the great leaders will pick up the phrase, "the
wrath of the lamb.' They will mock, scorn and kill the prophets.
For almost 1260 days of the 70th Week the American Antichrist has
convinced the masses and all world leaders, that alien or
extraterrestrial forces have invaded the Earth, and the main attack
force is on its way, through the heavens, to Jerusalem. He has
assembled the armies, with all their smart weapons, to make war against
the final alien attempt to conquer the Earth. What happens to these
world leaders that turns their pompous boasting into heart paralyzing
fear? What has caused a terror, that no Islamic suicide bomber could
ever dream of, that brings these men to their knees?
All the gospel writers make it very clear that as the final hours and
days of the Great Tribulation draw to a close, the Earth will be
plunged into darkness. This darkness will terrorize the world. They
know someone is coming to take over this planet. As the descending Lord
Jesus Christ and his armies from Heaven break the atmosphere, a great
blinding lightning will instantly devour the darkness. CNN and MSNBC
camera crews will zoom in on the great chariots of the Son of God, as
he unleashes his angelic armies to destroy the armies assembled at
Armageddon. The world's leaders will then cry out in fear...."hide us
from the wrath of the lamb." The President and Pope who have brought
the world to this climax will be taken and cast alive into the Lake of
Fire in the sight of all survivors, Revelation 19:20. Satan and his
fallen angels will be bound, gagged and imprisoned in the bottomless
pit for 1000 years.
You know, Jesus said that we should not fear men, who can only kill our
bodies, but fear God who can kill our bodies and send our souls to
Hell. It is impossible for anyone to truly love God until they have
first feared him. For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
All of us, once we have grown and reached accountability for our sins,
really deserve the wrath and punishment of God. We are a shameless,
rebellious lot aren't we? We have all crucified the Son of God. And
yet, in these closing days leading up to the great separation of men,
he is still offering his forgiveness and love. Once we receive that
forgiveness, our fear of him becomes love, respect, admiration, and
indescribable awe of his power and love. It's real simple.....the God
of Israel wants us to love him back. It's our choice.
