The king comes to you, daughter of Zion. I often wondered how Jacob wrestled with God and prevailed still. Because this is the aggression point, we all need pick up a point during distressing moments.
Luke 21: 5-6 starts off with the destruction of the temple and we know the house of God holds the body of Christ i.e. temple of the living God (which us a body of believers). Quoted: “Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.”
Jesus states that one of the signs of end times would be as stone (we are living stones 1 Peter 2:5) being thrown down in the last days.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-8
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there comes a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
So, the falling away of the church must happen i.e. the great apostacy must happen for the lawless one to be revealed. Jesus said stones will fall away and be thrown, Simon peter was told he was the rock on which the church will be built, and the gates of hell will not prevail against him (Matthew 16: 18), Jesus is the stone the builders rejected, and David used a stone to defeat Goliath, a living stone. A rock is a bigger version of a stone. So, the church is not to fall, yet in the last days it will.
29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears my Name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword on all who live on the earth, declares the Lord Almighty.’ – Jeremiah 25:29
Excerpt from Kumuyi
On December 25th, 1908, a newspaper published in Messina printed a parody against God, daring Him to make Himself known by sending an earthquake. Three days later, the city and its surrounding district were devastated by a terrible quake that killed 84,000 people! Payday is coming for all. It is the duty of a Christian to prepare for God’s judgement.
The passage under consideration unveils the decision of God against Babylon. Babylon would be destroyed for her wickedness and cruelty, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Jeremiah was to warn of this impending judgement. He was also assigned by God to inform people that the cup of his wrath was soon to be poured on Israel and other nations like Egypt, Edom and the Phillistine’s.
Judgement is coming. God has appointed a day in which he will judge the world for her sins. The present world system will not escape the judgement of God. All human deeds are on record and there would be no room for falsification of facts. Every action of man will be brought to light. Boys and girls, and all adults of every race and in every continent will face the consequences of their professions. The treatment we give to the word of God will determine our eternal destiny. Therefore, believers should not relax in their evangelistic outreaches because God judgement remains unchanging for all unrepentant soul from one generation to the next. Persecutors of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ will not escape the wrath of God except they repent. The train of Gods judgement is coming slowly but surely, and it is important for all and sundry to be prepared.
