In light of our day's national and global fears and panic relating to the Coronavirus; do your part to be safe and relax, especially if you are a child of Almighty God!
Death has always been the most misunderstood event in the world since Adam's fall (Gen. 3, Rom. 5:12-21). It is the KING of all fears and phobias and has been Satan's despotic fear-monger over the children of Adam since the fall (Job 2:4, Rom. 3:23, 7:24, 1 Cor. 15:25-26, Heb. 2:14-15). Death was conceived with Eve's first transgression and has reigned mercilessly with terror since the Garden of Eden. All of Adam's line since his fall have become mortal, fallen and because of transgressions subject to Death's power (Gen. 5, Rom. 3:23; 5:12-21, Heb. 2:13-15). Since the Tower of Babel, countless godless philosophies and religions (spiritual philosophies) of fallen man have tried to explain the REALITY of death, tragically ALL of the world's unregenerate perceptions have been woefully inaccurate and ETERNALLY fatal (Prov. 14:12, Rom. 1:18-32). Civilizations since the Tower of Babel have given over their entire culture and societies to philosophies and superstitions that seek to answer the mystery of death and the afterlife and ALL have failed (Rev. 17:1-2). The biblical definition of death is the separation of the soul and spirit from the body (Eccl. 12:7, Matt. 27:50, Luke 23:46, Acts 7:59). The body, which is flesh, returns to the dust of the earth, while the soul and spirit of the person remain ETERNAL. The soul and spirit of an individual which has experienced death will either go to Sheol (the waiting place and abode of the lost dead until the Great White Throne judgment - Rev. 20:11-15) or into the presence of Almighty God (Luke 23:42-43, Acts 7:59, 2 Cor. 5:6-8).
In the death of the lost, Almighty God summons that individual into the presence of ETERNITY to await His FULL and FINAL judgment at the GREAT WHITE THRONE.
It is in the death of the lost that Almighty God summons that individual into the presence of ETERNITY to await His FULL and FINAL judgment at the end of time called, the GREAT WHITE THRONE judgment (Eccl. 12:13-14, Matt. 12:36, John 3:36, Heb. 9:27, Rev. 20:11-15). In that Day, at the end of time, one will give a FULL account unto Jesus Christ - Almighty God's PERFECT RIGHTEOUS STANDARD - (Gen. 18:25, Acts 17:31, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 2:1, Rev. 20:11-15) according to ALL their works based on their failure and violation of Almighty God's ETERNAL spiritual and moral absolutes of time (Eccl. 12:13-14, Matt. 12:36, Rom. 3:23, 2 Thess. 1:8, Rev. 20:11-15). Dear friends, think on that ETERNALLY sobering REALITY for a moment if you can. We, apart from Almighty God's saving grace, WILL GIVE a FULL account to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS One for ALL our life's thoughts and deeds. Even if a man lives a thousand years and then steps into ETERNITY in death, all his past will evaporate within a millisecond and he will be FULLY consumed with the ETERNAL present. All that that man brings with him into ETERNITY is his rebellion and defiant heart and a raised fist against His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator. Who my dear friends can EVER stand in His RIGHTEOUS PRESENCE apart from Christ's saving grace? Oh, the HORRIFIC SOBERING REALITY OF ETERNITY without Almighty God's saving grace!! No wonder in that Day that NO ONE will say boo; for ALL will see PERFECTLY their EXPONENTIAL wretched estate before Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL PERSON and ALL will FULLY KNOW that they are RIGHTLY and JUSTLY condemned (Acts 17:31, 1 Peter 4:18, Phil. 2:9-11, Rev. 1:13-18; 20:11-15).
One's death is the FINAL ETERNAL summons to stand before the ETERNAL Judge and to give a FULL account for his works done in time!
One's death will NEVER transpire without Almighty God allowing it to be in light of His all-knowing wisdom of His ETERNAL omniscient mind. One's death is the FINAL ETERNAL summons to appear and stand before the ETERNAL Judge of the world and to give a FULL account for his deeds done in the flesh here in time (Heb. 9:27). My friends, no matter how one's death occurs (peacefully, tragically, unexpectedly, violently etc...), the means thereof can NEVER be compared to the horrific REALITY of coming face to face with the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS presence of Almighty God. This "life" or earthly existence here in time is all about Adam's fallen race to individually make an ETERNAL choice; To choose a RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL existence with their Creator in RIGHTEOUSNESS, Peace and HARMONY (Rev. 21-22:1-5) or to follow one's own lawless will and Lucifer's LAWLESS rebellion against Almighty God's ETERNAL PERSON and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES (Matt. 25: 41, John 8:44, Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 20:11-15).
This life is all about mankind to individually make an ETERNAL choice; a RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL existence with their Creator in RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and HARMONY or to follow one's own lawless will and Lucifer's LAWLESS rebellion against Almighty God's and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES.
Satan, the fallen angelic tyrant of Adam's fallen race holds the leash to man's greatest enemy and has used this dreaded consuming despot and monster to hold his power, terrorize and control mankind (Gen. 3, Job, 2:4, Prov. 27:20; 30:16, John 8:44, Rom. 5:12-21, Heb. 2:14-15)(Gen. 3, Rom. 5:12-21). Satan's desire is for fallen humanity to do his godless will and encourage humans to violate Almighty God's spiritual and moral laws (Eph. 2:1-2; 6:12, Rev. 12:9). In the end, the author of death himself will be subject to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS judgment of Almighty God, where He will be tormented FOREVER and EVER by the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God and to be consumed FOREVER in the Lake of Fire's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS flame (Deut. 4:24, Jer. 23:29, Matt. 3:12, Mark 9:43-45, Rev. 20:10).
In the end, the author of death himself will be subject to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS judgment of Almighty God, where He will be tormented FOREVER and EVER by the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God!
My friends, there is ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE for this fallen world when it abandons their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and gives themselves over unto their own darkened reprobate mind; for in doing so they willingly have put their necks under Satan's demonic tyranny and death's dread and eventual sting (Isa. 5:20, Matt. 6:23, Rom. 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-2). Yet millions upon millions that once have lived and those now who are presently living are exercising a vain existence here in time and rejecting the ETERNAL Holy Spirit's RIGHTEOUS ministry to call ALL to repent and be delivered from the wrath which is to come (John 3:16-17; 16:8-11, Acts 17:31)!
My friends, there is ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE for this fallen world when it abandons their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and gives themselves over unto their own darkened reprobate mind.
Hear me my dear friends! Unbelief is unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief whether you follow a self-created spiritual ideology (aka. a religion) or a secular political ideology or a lawless ideology or a conservative moral ideology or a traditional ideology etc... etc... For they ALL lie in gross darkness and in spiritual death apart from the RIGHTEOUS saving solution for Adam's fallen race FOUND ONLY in Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION, Jesus Christ (John 11:25, Acts 4:12, Rom. 5:11-21; 10:4, 1 John 4:10)! For Jesus is the risen ETERNAL Lord and Prince of Life and Lucifer the unrighteous and his tool death have ZERO authority and power over His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON (Isa. 9:6-7, Matt. 28:18, Luke 1:33, 1 Cor. 15:55-57, Phil. 2:1-11, Rev. 1:17-18; 5:11-14)! The Savior of Adam's fallen race and mankind's RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION is found ONLY in the ETERNAL Person of the Son of God, Jesus Christ the Lord; and ALL fears and tyrants including Satan and Death themselves are subject to and powerless in His ETERNAL GLORY and LIGHT (Rev. 1:17-18)!
The Lord Jesus Christ gave His RIGHTEOUS LIFE to be their RIGHTEOUS propitiation and justification and to give unto them ETERNAL life so they may be restored and redeemed FOREVER to enjoy Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in PEACE.
My dear friends, Almighty God saw Adam's fallen race's horrific need PERFECTLY; and from before the foundations of the earth has provided a PERFECT rescue boat, a PERFECT way out and a PERFECT arm of deliverance to all who call upon His Name from one's sin, Satan's tyranny and death's reign (Gen. 3, Psalm 55:16, Isa. 43:11, 45:21, John 1:12, Acts 4:12, 16:2-30, Rom. 10:10-13, 1 Cor. 15, Heb. 2:14-15, Rev. 3:20). Almighty God sent His Son into time to be born of a woman, to live a PERFECT LIFE and to give His life for a ransom for the transgression of Adam's fallen race. The Lord Jesus Christ gave His RIGHTEOUS LIFE and shed His RIGHTEOUS blood to be mankind's RIGHTEOUS propitiation and justification for ALL; and to give unto them ETERNAL life so they may be restored and redeemed FOREVER to enjoy Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in PEACE (John 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21-22:15).
Dear friend, do you know the Lord Jesus Christ? If not, we would love to show you why you NEED to know Him and how to know Him. This life here in time is ALL about knowing the ETERNAL LORD of LIFE. May you sincerely seek to know the One who loved you and gave Himself for you.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
