Those who are called of God, yet refuse His Mercy, and refuse to respond and repent, shall have their day!
We as the saints of God must also remember when we become eager for God's Judgment to fall, that it shall begin with us....so what manner of persons ought we to be?
We ought to be seeking to manifest the character and nature of Jesus Christ!
It is easy to see the faults of others, but how often do we look within, and ask God to cleanse our hearts and purify our minds?
We are surrounded by so much wickedness today that it is easy to dwell on evil, but that is not what we are to do, we are to set our affections on things of the heavenlies knowing that our LORD is soon to return and that we shall be with HIM forever.
So don't become consumed and distressed by what you see taking place daily, by all means hate evil, we should hate evil....but remember evil will have its day, God shall judge the nations, but judgment shall begin at the house of God!
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!

And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Ezekiel 9:4-5
The lukewarm Laodecian church in America has grown accustomed and silent towards the evil around us and will be spewed out of Jesus' mouth.
Better that He find you hot for His Kingdom and cold towards this world system which educates,breeds,and teaches the children wickedness cradle to grave.
I'm tired of the wickedness and perversion and sigh and mourn over it and am eager for the Kingdom of God,how about you ?
How can saint's show more mercy to the wicked than they do to their fellow saints ?
There's a big contradiction there.
I've got no apologies and understand why the lukewarm are uncomfortable with hot words.
They're more interested in not offending the wicked,they fear men rather than God.
They remind me of comfy,cold,ice which quickly melts under the Sonlight.
Like snowflakes they disappear in the heat of battle.
I think often of the passage that says "Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD..."
Will we survive? I feel in my spirit that it will be like the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan during WWII.
I do believe a concept that is very, very important for us in these last of days in the passages of scripture Marcel gave is in the opening verse(s)...
The prophet fell on his face weeping and crying ON BEHALF of those being judged; even though they were children of disobedience in grave error and rebellion, still the prophet(s) heart aches for those being punished.
This, I feel also reveals the very heart cry of God for His lost sheep, His lost people. We also must have this heart if we are to find favor with God in the midst of great, severe judgment.
The day fast approaches and may be already here when we are no longer going to have to cry that judgment is at the door, everyone with a brain will KNOW it is hear.
God help each of us to get all into the ark that we can before the door is closed.
Please God, in judgment, remember mercy!
