Even In Judgment, God Is Merciful

 

Today's verse is Revelation 7:14

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

    Truly Judgment is not only near, but it is upon us. Yet, it is clear that this great tribulation spoke of here is not yet. So, consider what we find here, and also what God said to Ezekiel: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? Here is the Goodness of God, that he is willing to redeem the wicked, if the wicked should turn from his wicked ways. We have already seen but a fraction of God’s judgment, should we not then fear, and repent, and turn unto him and his ways, perhaps he will spare. Yet, consider, this great multitude in Revelation. Many repented, yet the judgment continues. Why? because the cleansing has not yet been completed, and the wickedness of the wicked, of those that will not repent allows God to shew his power, and great wrath, that all may Know that God is God. Amen.

To God be the Glory
