Isaiah 13, the day of the LORD!

Isa 13:1, The burden against Babylon which ISAIAH THE SON OF AMOZ SAW. 

What amazes me about Isaiah is that GOD reveals HIS coming judgement on Babylon, about 100 years after Isaiah’s death; then talks of the judgement coming to the world thousands of years later!

Isa 13:4-5, … THE LORD OF HOSTS MUSTERS THE ARMY FOR BATTLE. They come from a far country, From the end of heaven—THE LORD AND HIS WEAPONS OF INDIGNATION, TO DESTROY THE WHOLE LAND.

Babylon was used by GOD as a Rod to punish HIS own people, Israel. Now judgement is coming to Babylon! In the book of Daniel chapter 5 speaks of this!

Dan 5:28, 30 PERES: YOUR KINGDOM HAS BEEN DIVIDED, AND GIVEN TO THE MEDES AND PERSIANS.” That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain.

Isa 13:9-10, BEHOLD, THE DAY OF THE LORD COMES, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And HE WILL DESTROY ITS SINNERS FROM IT. For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine.

Now Isaiah is focused on the DAY OF THE LORD.  The LORD comes with fierce wrath upon the world, and signs will be seen in the heavens above! The seven-year tribulation!

Mat 24:29, “IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT; THE STARS WILL FALL FROM HEAVEN, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Isa 13:11-12, “I WILL PUNISH THE WORLD FOR ITS EVIL, And the wicked for their iniquity; I WILL HALT THE ARROGANCE OF THE PROUD, AND WILL LAY LOW THE HAUGHTINESS OF THE TERRIBLE. I WILL MAKE A MORTAL MORE RARE THAN FINE GOLD, A MAN MORE THAN THE GOLDEN WEDGE OF OPHIR.

Today, the world has about 8 Billion living souls, but the DAY OF THE LORD will destroy the vast majority of them! HE CAME AS A LAMB, BUT NOW HE COMES AS A LION!

Psa 110:5-6, The Lord is at Your right hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries.

HE is a GOD of LOVE, but HE is also JUST and righteous! HIS wrath is near! BE READY FOR JUDGEMENT IS COMING!

Isaiah 5, What more could HE have done for us?

Isa 5:1-2, Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding HIS vineyard: MY WELL-BELOVED HAS A VINEYARD On a very fruitful hill. He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; SO HE EXPECTED IT TO BRING FORTH GOOD GRAPES, BUT IT BROUGHT FORTH WILD GRAPES.

The LORD has a vineyard, verse 7 “ISRAEL”, who had so much advantages than any other! The LORD took care of it and protected it, BUT IT PRODUCED POISONOUS GRAPES?

Isa 5:3-4, “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, JUDGE, PLEASE, BETWEEN ME AND MY VINEYARD. WHAT MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO MY VINEYARD THAT I HAVE NOT DONE IN IT? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?

What more could GOD had done for Israel, and even us gentiles? So many people blame GOD, yet do not consider what HE has done for us! HE allowed HIMSELF to be crucified on that cross in order pay our debt “sin”; Yet so many ignore HIM and even hate HIM?

Dan 9:26, “…MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF;

Isa 5:5, And now, PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I WILL DO TO MY VINEYARD: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 

GOD is love and HE loves HIS people, but HE is also JUST! HE sent Assyria to judge Israel!

Isa 10:6, I will send him against an ungodly nation, And AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF MY WRATH I WILL GIVE HIM CHARGE, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 

Israel rejected GOD, wild grapes, and then rejected their own MESSIAH JESUS. GOD’s wrath upon HIS own people is hot, YET HE SHALL PRESERVE HIS REMNANT! Rom 9:27.

Isa 5:13, THEREFORE MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE…

Even though we may not see GOD’s physical presence; KNOW THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE! YOU ARE NOT FOOLING HIM FOR HE SEES ALL YOU DO AND KNOWS YOUR THOUGHTS!

Hos 4:6, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will reject you from being priest for ME; BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF YOUR GOD, I ALSO WILL FORGET YOUR CHILDREN. 

WHAT MORE COULD HE HAVE DONE FOR US?

Proverbs 16, In mercy HE has provided atonement!

Pro 16:2, All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits. 

By default, we tend to justify ourselves by comparing ourselves with another.  I’m better than that drug dealer, but the drug dealer would say, I’m better than that sexual abuser! The LORD knows your heart and our motives, we can’t hide anything from HIM!

Jer 17:10, I, THE LORD, SEARCH THE HEART, I TEST THE MIND, EVEN TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WAYS, ACCORDING TO THE FRUIT OF HIS DOINGS.

Pro 16:6, IN MERCY AND TRUTH ATONEMENT IS PROVIDED FOR INIQUITY; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil. 

GOD’s mercy has provided atonement at a great price for HIM and HIS SON JESUS!

Dan 9:26, “And after the sixty-two weeks MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF; …

HE was cut off because of me, and you! Just place your name there! “THE MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BECAUSE OF ALFONSO”!

Pro 16:20, HE WHO HEEDS THE WORD WISELY WILL FIND GOOD, AND WHOEVER TRUSTS IN THE LORD, HAPPY IS HE. 

We tend to worry a lot, but those that truly know GOD knows that HE is in control!  When I lost my job, the third time, my brothers at a birthday party thought I was crazy when I told them, “IN HIS, GOD’S, TIME I’LL FIND WORK!  They laughed, and mocked me, but a month or two later I was back to work!  Thank YOU LORD!

Eph 1:12-13, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Pro 16:27-28, AN UNGODLY MAN DIGS UP EVIL, AND IT IS ON HIS LIPS LIKE A BURNING FIRE. A PERVERSE MAN SOWS STRIFE, AND A WHISPERER SEPARATES THE BEST OF FRIENDS.

A while back a lady I knew came up to me and said, “I HEARD THAT THIS BROTHER’S DAUGTHER WAS PREGNANT, IS THAT TRUE? I TOLD HER “I DON’T KNOW BUT I’LL CALL HIM SO YOU CAN ASK HIM”! This is just plain evil trying to dig around to find juicy information in order to spread it around! GOD SEE’S ALL AND KNOWS ALL!

Gal 6:7, DO NOT BE DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED; FOR WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT HE WILL ALSO REAP.

Psalm 137, the cost of sin!

Psa 137:1, BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON, THERE WE SAT DOWN, yea, WE WEPT When we remembered Zion.

The Psalmist finds himself weeping, writing this psalm far away from home! BECAUSE OF SIN, the LORD brought Babylon against them! IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ARE SIN LIES AT THE DOOR WAITING ON YOU!

The quote below is from Ravi Zacharias

Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.

2Ki 24:3-4, SURELY AT THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD THIS CAME UPON JUDAH, TO REMOVE THEM FROM HIS SIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SINS OF MANASSEH, according to all that he had done, and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not pardon.

Psa 137:2-4, We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. FOR THERE THOSE WHO CARRIED US AWAY CAPTIVE ASKED OF US A SONG, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, “SING US ONE OF THE SONGS OF ZION!” HOW SHALL WE SING THE LORD’S SONG IN A FOREIGN LAND?

They ravished their women in Zion, and killed their children, Yet they wanted them to sing?

SIN BRINGS MUCH MORE THAN YOU BARGAIN FOR! IT CAN DESTROY THE ONES YOU LOVE THE MOST!

Isa 13:16, Their children also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished. 

Amo 8:3, And THE SONGS OF THE TEMPLE SHALL BE WAILING IN THAT DAY,” SAYS THE LORD GOD…

Psa 137:8-9, O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us! HAPPY THE ONE WHO TAKES AND DASHES YOUR LITTLE ONES AGAINST THE ROCK!

As they saw them kill their own children, they want it done to them as well!

Rom 12:19, Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. 

Beware Christian sin is so costly it took the life of our LORD to pay for it!

Gen 4:7, If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, SIN LIES AT THE DOOR. AND ITS DESIRE IS FOR YOU, BUT YOU SHOULD RULE OVER IT.”

Psalm 130, Sin separates us from HIM!

Psa 130:1-2, OUT OF THE DEPTHS I HAVE CRIED TO YOU, O LORD; LORD, HEAR MY VOICE! LET YOUR EARS BE ATTENTIVE TO THE VOICE OF MY SUPPLICATIONS.

The Psalmist, in desperation, calls upon the LORD for help! Please hear me! Remember, your going before a HOLY GOD and sin will always block your prayers to HIM!

Neh 1:6, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and CONFESS THE SINS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHICH WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU. BOTH MY FATHER’S HOUSE AND I HAVE SINNED.

Psa 130:3, IF YOU, LORD, SHOULD MARK INIQUITIES, O LORD, WHO COULD STAND? 

No one will be able to stand before the LORD for HE knows everything about you! You can’t hide anything from HIM for HE knows all!

Psa 1:5, THEREFORE THE UNGODLY SHALL NOT STAND IN THE JUDGMENT, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Psa 69:5, O God, YOU know my foolishness; And MY SINS ARE NOT HIDDEN FROM YOU. 

Psa 130:4, BUT THERE IS FORGIVENESS WITH YOU, THAT YOU MAY BE FEARED. 

Scripture tells us that we may go boldly, in prayer, before our HOLY, RIGHTEOUS GOD!

Heb 4:16, Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. 

BUT, like Nehemiah, we must confess our sins before HIM! HE is our FATHER and HE loves HIS children, but HE also corrects HIS own!

1Jn 1:9, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

Psa 130:7-8, O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption. AND HE SHALL REDEEM ISRAEL FROM ALL HIS INIQUITIES.

Not just Israel, but all those that place their faith in HIM! People blame the Jews for killing JESUS, others the Romans, but truth be told OUR SINS ARE TO BLAME! HE BORE THE SHAME OF OUR SINS ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY! HE DID THAT FOR YOU!

Isa 53:5, BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.

Psalm 107, What is your story!

Psa 107:4-5, THEY WANDERED IN THE WILDERNESS IN A DESOLATE WAY; They found no city to dwell in. HUNGRY AND THIRSTY, THEIR SOUL FAINTED IN THEM.

THE WANDERER was completely lost in sin and no where to go! Hungry and thirsty and nowhere to turn!

Psa 107:6-7, THEN THEY CRIED OUT TO THE LORD in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses. AND HE LED THEM FORTH BY THE RIGHT WAY, THAT THEY MIGHT GO TO A CITY FOR A DWELLING PLACE.

Psa 107:10-11, Those who SAT IN DARKNESS and in the shadow of death, BOUND IN AFFLICTION and IRONS— Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High,

THE PRISONER, bound in the chains of sin and desperation, dwelling in darkness

Psa 107:13-14, THEN THEY CRIED OUT TO THE LORD IN THEIR TROUBLE, And He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, AND BROKE THEIR CHAINS IN PIECES.

HE can break the strongest, gates, bars and chains and bring you out in HIS light!

Psa 107:17-18, Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, WERE AFFLICTED. THEIR SOUL ABHORRED ALL MANNER OF FOOD, AND THEY DREW NEAR TO THE GATES OF DEATH.

THE SICK rejected the milk and meat of the word of GOD which gives strength to the weary! They were dying without it, near death!

Psa 107:19-20, THEN THEY CRIED OUT TO THE LORD IN THEIR TROUBLE, And He saved them out of their distresses. HE SENT HIS WORD AND HEALED THEM, AND DELIVERED THEM FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS.

HIS word has the power to heal!

Psa 107:25-27, For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea. … Their soul melts because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits’ end.

TRIALS! In the middle of a severe trial which seems to have no end!

Psa 107:28-29, THEN THEY CRY OUT TO THE LORD IN THEIR TROUBLE, AND HE BRINGS THEM OUT OF THEIR DISTRESSES. HE CALMS THE STORM, SO THAT ITS WAVES ARE STILL.

WHAT IS YOUR STORY? WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU CALLED OUT TO HIM? WITHOUT HIM, WE ARE LOST, IN CHAINS, SICK, AND IN TROUBLE; BUT, HE HAS THE POWER TO SAVE!

Psalm 107: 8, 15, 21, 31, OH, THAT MEN WOULD GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESS, AND FOR HIS WONDERFUL WORKS TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN!

Psalm 79, Judgement starts at home!

Psa 79:1, …God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps. 

Jerusalem was defiled by the Armies of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon! They raided the temple, and took all the sacred items!

Psa 79:2-3, The dead bodies of YOUR SERVANTS—They have given as food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of YOUR SAINTS to the beasts of the earth. THEIR BLOOD THEY HAVE SHED LIKE WATER ALL AROUND JERUSALEM, AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO BURY THEM.

Their unburied bodies turned into food for the birds! The Psalmist is pleading to GOD, “LORD THE BODIES OF YOUR SERVANTS ARE LIKE THE CARCASSES OF AN ANIMALS, UNLOVED! THESE ARE YOUR SAINTS OH LORD”!

Psa 79:5, HOW LONG, LORD? WILL YOU BE ANGRY FOREVER? WILL YOUR JEALOUSY BURN LIKE FIRE? 

The Psalmist doesn’t say “WHY”, but how long! He knows that GOD has allowed this to happen to Israel. BECAUSE OF THE SIN OF ISRAEL GOD HAS GIVEN THEM OVER TO THEIR ENEMIES!

Jer 27:5-6, ‘I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, THE MAN AND THE BEAST that are on the ground, by MY GREAT POWER and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed proper to ME. AND NOW I HAVE GIVEN ALL THESE LANDS INTO THE HAND OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING OF BABYLON, MY SERVANT; …

Psa 79:8-9, Oh, DO NOT REMEMBER FORMER INIQUITIES AGAINST US! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low. HELP US, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and PROVIDE ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS, FOR YOUR NAME’S SAKE!

When we have sinned against the LORD we must confess our sins, We must humble ourselves before HIM (1John 1:9)! Remember, scripture says that “Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD, Psa 33:12″; YET IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY WILL NOT BE JUDGED, FOR HE CORRECTS THOSE WHOM HE LOVES!

Jer 25:29, FOR BEHOLD, I BEGIN TO BRING CALAMITY ON THE CITY WHICH IS CALLED BY MY NAME, AND SHOULD YOU BE UTTERLY UNPUNISHED? YOU SHALL NOT BE UNPUNISHED, for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.’

Psalm 73, Why do the wicked prosper?

Psa 73:1-3, …Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart. BUT AS FOR ME, MY FEET HAD ALMOST STUMBLED; MY STEPS HAD NEARLY SLIPPED. FOR I WAS ENVIOUS OF THE BOASTFUL, WHEN I SAW THE PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED.

GOD is good to the pure at heart, but when he saw the prosperity of the wicked, he almost stumbled! WHY? Why are they prospering in their wickedness; they have a better life than most people?

Job 21:7, Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power? 

Psa 73:4-5, For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men.

Other men are plagued by financial hardships in the death of a family member, but the wicked, in their prosperity, don’t suffer at all?

Psa 73:9,11, They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth… And they say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”

GOD DOESN’T SEE WHAT WE DO, GOD DOESN’T KNOW; WHY WORRY IT’S ALL GOOD!

Hos 7:2, THEY DO NOT CONSIDER IN THEIR HEARTS THAT I REMEMBER ALL THEIR WICKEDNESS; NOW THEIR OWN DEEDS HAVE SURROUNDED THEM; THEY ARE BEFORE MY FACE. 

Psa 73:13-14, SURELY I HAVE CLEANSED MY HEART IN VAIN, And washed my hands in innocence. For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.

THEY LIVE AWESOME LIVES IN THEIR WICKEDNESS, YET I SUFFER DAILY? SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT?

Psa 73:16-17, When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me— UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD; THEN I UNDERSTOOD THEIR END. 

Pro 23:17-18, Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day; FOR SURELY THERE IS A HEREAFTER, AND YOUR HOPE WILL NOT BE CUT OFF.

MANY BELIEVE THAT ONCE YOU DIE IT’S OVER. YET, DEATH IS THE START OF THEIR TRUE LIVES IN CHRIST FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE AND TRUSTED IN THE LORD! FOR THE WICKED IT’S TIME TO PAY FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS FOREVER!

Psalm 60, The problem of sin in the camp!

Psa 60:1-2, …YOU HAVE CAST US OFF; YOU HAVE BROKEN US DOWN; YOU HAVE BEEN DISPLEASED; OH, RESTORE US AGAIN! You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.

David knew something was wrong between them and GOD when he experienced defeat before his enemies! BUT WORSE THAN DEFEAT IS KNOWING THAT GOD HAS LEFT THEM ALONE! IT’S OUR SINS THAT BLOCK THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD.

Isa 59:1-2, Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED YOU FROM YOUR GOD; AND YOUR SINS HAVE HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM YOU, SO THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR.

Psa 60:3, You have shown Your people hard things; YOU HAVE MADE US DRINK THE WINE OF CONFUSION.

Israel’s defeat was a hard lesson for them to take in! WHY, WHAT HAPPEN, WHAT DID WE DO WRONG; They were confused.  Like Joshua was when he was defeated in battle of AI!

Jos 7:10-11, So the LORD said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face? Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. ….

It wasn’t that GOD failed Israel or wasn’t strong enough to protect them, but sin got in the way of HIS blessings! The LORD tells Joshua, GET UP! HE DOESN’T NEED TO BEG THAT GOD WOULD CHANGE HIS HEART TOWARDS ISRAEL, BUT THAT ISRAEL WILL CHANGE THEIR HEART TOWARDS GOD!

Psa 60:9-10, Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? IS IT NOT YOU, O GOD, WHO CAST US OFF? AND YOU, O GOD, WHO DID NOT GO OUT WITH OUR ARMIES?

The LORD will correct those whom HE loves!

Heb 12:6, FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTENS, AND SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.” 

Psa 60:11-12, Give us help from trouble, FOR THE HELP OF MAN IS USELESS. THROUGH GOD WE WILL DO VALIANTLY, FOR IT IS HE WHO SHALL TREAD DOWN OUR ENEMIES.

THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR US, BUT WE NEED TO FULLY FOLLOW HIM IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES! TRUST IN THE LORD!

Esther 8, He is always there!

Est 8:1-2, On that day King Ahasuerus GAVE QUEEN ESTHER THE HOUSE OF HAMAN, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. SO THE KING TOOK OFF HIS SIGNET RING, WHICH HE HAD TAKEN FROM HAMAN, AND GAVE IT TO MORDECAI…

Haman was a rich man who lost everything including his life because he was determined to kill the people of GOD! EVEN THOUGH THE LORDS NAME IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THIS BOOK, EVEN THOUGH WE DON’T SEE HIM, HE IS ALWAYS NEAR US WORKING FOR OUR GOOD!

Psa 121:4, BEHOLD, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. 

The decree which Haman wrote is still hanging over every Jews head, but now they were giving the rights to defend themselves!

Isa 54:17, NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER, …

IN THIS WORLD WE WILL HAVE TROUBLES, AND WEAPONS WILL BE FORGED AGAINST US. WE MAY NOT SEE HIM NOR SENSE HIM, YET THE LORD IS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP THOSE WHO SEEK HIS FACE! HE IS FAITHFUL!

Ecc 12:13-14, LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER: FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS MAN’S ALL. FOR GOD WILL BRING EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT, INCLUDING EVERY SECRET THING, WHETHER GOOD OR EVIL.
