The coming JUDGMENT

Psalm 9:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: 

he hath prepared his throne for judgment.


This post is not to create fear.

Rather, to encourage awareness.

And to have love and respect for GOD.

For JUDGMENT will surely come.

As sure as the Bible is GOD-inspired, so shall it be.

Who has power over all nations?

Who judges all people?

How shall we be judged?

What will we be judged for?

Scripture has the answers.

First, what does JESUS say?

Matthew 12:35-37

King James Version

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart 

bringeth forth good things: 

and an evil man out of the evil treasure 

bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, 

That every idle word that men shall speak, 

they shall give account thereof 

in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, 

and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


John 3:18-19

King James Version

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: 

but he that believeth not is condemned already, 

because he hath not believed in the name 

of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, 

that light is come into the world, 

and men loved darkness rather than light, 

because their deeds were evil.


John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.


Revelation 22:12

King James Version

12 And, behold, 

I come quickly; 

and my reward is with me, 

to give every man 

according as his work shall be.


Second, what does the rest of Scripture say?

Psalm 9:8

King James Version

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, 

he shall minister judgment to the people 

in uprightness.


Psalm 9:16

King James Version

16 The Lord is known by the judgment 

which he executeth: 

the wicked is snared 

in the work of his own hands. 

Higgaion. Selah.


Psalm 9:17

King James Version

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, 

and all the nations that forget God.


Isaiah 45:22-23

King James Version

22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, 

all the ends of the earth: 

for I am God, 

and there is none else.

23 I have sworn by myself, 

the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, 

and shall not return, 

That unto me every knee shall bow, 

every tongue shall swear.


Romans 2:2-3

King James Version

2 But we are sure that the judgment of God 

is according to truth 

against them which commit such things.

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, 

that judgest them which do such things, 

and doest the same, 

that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?


Romans 2:4-6

King James Version

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness 

and forbearance and longsuffering; 

not knowing that the goodness of God 

leadeth thee to repentance?

5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart 

treasurest up unto thyself wrath 

against the day of wrath and revelation 

of the righteous judgment of God;

6 Who will render to every man 

according to his deeds:


Romans 14:10-12

King James Version

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? 

or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? 

for we shall all stand 

before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written, 

As I live, 

saith the Lord, 

every knee shall bow to me, 

and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 So then every one of us 

shall give account of himself to God.


2 Corinthians 5:10

King James Version

10 For we must all appear 

before the judgment seat of Christ; 

that every one may receive the things done in his body, 

according to that he hath done, 

whether it be good or bad.


Hebrews 9:27

King James Version

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, 

but after this the judgment:


Hebrews 13:4

King James Version

4 Marriage is honourable in all, 

and the bed undefiled: 

but whoremongers and adulterers 

God will judge.


1 Peter 4:5-6

King James Version

5 Who shall give account to him that is ready 

to judge the quick and the dead.

6 For for this cause was the gospel preached 

also to them that are dead, 

that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, 

but live according to God in the spirit.


1 Peter 4:17

King James Version

17 For the time is come 

that judgment must begin at the house of God: 

and if it first begin at us, 

what shall the end be 

of them that obey not the gospel of God?


1 John 2:1-2

King James Version

2 My little children, 

these things write I unto you, 

that ye sin not. 

And if any man sin, 

we have an advocate with the Father, 

Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: 

and not for ours only, 

but also for the sins of the whole world.


Revelation 20:11-15

King James Version

11 And I saw a great white throne, 

and him that sat on it, 

from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; 

and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, 

small and great, 

stand before God; 

and the books were opened: 

and another book was opened, 

which is the book of life: 

and the dead were judged 

out of those things which were written in the books, 

according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; 

and death and hell delivered up the dead 

which were in them: 

and they were judged every man 

according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. 

This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found 

written in the book of life 

was cast into the lake of fire.


Revelation 22:10-11

King James Version

10 And he saith unto me, 

Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: 

for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: 

and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: 

and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: 

and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Those MAGNETIZED to JESUS

Psalm 33:12

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;

for his own inheritance.


Why do we follow JESUS?

Why are we drawn to Him?

Why do we believe in Him?

Why do we love Him?

Scripture tells it plainly.

GOD chose us for JESUS.

Our future is with the LORD.

As JESUS reveals:

John 6:37-38

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John 17:4-6

King James Version

In SUMMARY, all those given by GOD to JESUS enjoy these blessings:

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day

those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me

GOD's LAW on PEACE

2 Chronicles 15:5-6

King James Version

5 And in those times there was no peace 

to him that went out, 

nor to him that came in, 

but great vexations were upon 

all the inhabitants of the countries.

6 And nation was destroyed of nation, 

and city of city: 

for God did vex them with all adversity.


How can nations have peace?

Why is there so much trouble?

You will find from these verses the reasons why.

And you will marvel that the solution had been there.

All along.

Nations can have peace.

Anytime GOD deems it.

Anytime we turn back to the LORD.

The Bible says so:

Deuteronomy 4:30-31

King James Version

30 When thou art in tribulation, 

and all these things are come upon thee, 

even in the latter days, 

if thou turn to the Lord thy God, 

and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) 

he will not forsake thee, 

neither destroy thee, 

nor forget the covenant of thy fathers 

which he sware unto them.


Deuteronomy 30:1-3

King James Version

30 And it shall come to pass, 

when all these things are come upon thee, 

the blessing and the curse, 

which I have set before thee, 

and thou shalt call them to mind 

among all the nations, 

whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, 

and shalt obey his voice 

according to all that I command thee this day, 

thou and thy children, 

with all thine heart, 

and with all thy soul;

3 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, 

and have compassion upon thee, 

and will return and gather thee from all the nations, 

whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.


1 Samuel 7:2-4

King James Version

2 And it came to pass, 

while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, 

that the time was long; 

for it was twenty years: 

and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.

3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, 

saying, 

If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, 

then put away the strange gods 

and Ashtaroth from among you, 

and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, 

and serve him only: 

and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim 

and Ashtaroth, 

and served the Lord only.


2 Chronicles 15:3-4

King James Version

3 Now for a long season 

Israel hath been without the true God, 

and without a teaching priest, 

and without law.

4 But when they in their trouble 

did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, 

and sought him, 

he was found of them.


Nehemiah 1:8-9

King James Version

8 Remember, I beseech thee, 

the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, 

saying, 

If ye transgress, 

I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

9 But if ye turn unto me,

and keep my commandments, 

and do them; 

though there were of you cast out 

unto the uttermost part of the heaven, 

yet will I gather them from thence, 

and will bring them unto the place 

that I have chosen to set my name there.


Job 22:23

King James Version

23 If thou return to the Almighty, 

thou shalt be built up, 

thou shalt put away iniquity 

far from thy tabernacles.


Isaiah 10:20-23

King James Version

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, 

that the remnant of Israel, 

and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, 

shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; 

but shall stay upon the Lord, 

the Holy One of Israel, 

in truth.

21 The remnant shall return,

 even the remnant of Jacob, 

unto the mighty God.

22 For though thy people Israel 

be as the sand of the sea, 

yet a remnant of them shall return: 

the consumption decreed 

shall overflow with righteousness.

23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, 

even determined, 

in the midst of all the land.


Isaiah 19:22-25

King James Version

22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: 

he shall smite and heal it: 

and they shall return even to the Lord, 

and he shall be intreated of them, 

and shall heal them.

23 In that day shall there be a highway 

out of Egypt to Assyria, 

and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, 

and the Egyptian into Assyria, 

and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

24 In that day shall Israel be the third 

with Egypt and with Assyria, 

even a blessing in the midst of the land:

25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, 

saying, 

Blessed be Egypt my people, 

and Assyria the work of my hands, 

and Israel mine inheritance.


Isaiah 31:6

King James Version

6 Turn ye unto him 

from whom the children of Israel 

have deeply revolted.


Isaiah 55:6-7

King James Version

6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, 

call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, 

and the unrighteous man his thoughts: 

and let him return unto the Lord, 

and he will have mercy upon him; 

and to our God, 

for he will abundantly pardon.


Isaiah 59:18-20

King James Version

18 According to their deeds, 

accordingly he will repay, 

fury to his adversaries, 

recompence to his enemies; 

to the islands he will repay recompence.

19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord 

from the west, 

and his glory from the rising of the sun. 

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, 

the Spirit of the Lord 

shall lift up a standard against him.

20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, 

and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, 

saith the Lord.


Jeremiah 3:11-13

King James Version

11 And the Lord said unto me, 

The backsliding Israel hath justified herself 

more than treacherous Judah.

12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, 

and say, 

Return, thou backsliding Israel, 

saith the Lord; 

and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: 

for I am merciful, 

saith the Lord, 

and I will not keep anger for ever.

13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, 

that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, 

and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers 

under every green tree, 

and ye have not obeyed my voice, 

saith the Lord.

Man is a fool, thinking he can have peace without GOD.

How he has set aside GOD so!

GOD is peace.

Peace is GOD.

ALL come from GOD.

EVERYTHING belongs to GOD.

He has power over everything.

The prophets knew it.

For GOD spoke through them.

And how man tried to stifle that clean, clear, powerful voice.

Thus, the world is the way it is.

If you want peace now, then turn to GOD now.
