The Judgment of God

God will have a final judgment when He will cast all people who have not believed in Jesus Christ into hell with Satan and his demonic spirits. Before His final judgment takes place God has other judgments; since the creation of man God has at various times judged individuals as well as nations. Often times His judgments are a call for repentance; at other times it is a removal of people from earth. God is loving and gracious, but also holy and all knowing. When He sees that a nation or an individual has permanently hardened their heart against Him and His Word He will at times bring forth a judgment that is their final one on earth. They will still face the final judgment at God’s appointed time, but the Judge has rendered a decision that they will no longer be on earth.

One point to understand is that God uses circumstances to reveal where individuals and nations stand. He has done this in the past and is doing so at this time. He calls for repentance, often times repeatedly because He is loving and longsuffering, but there comes a point when He says that is enough, enough from that individual and enough from that nation. We all should examine ourselves and pray that our individual heart is for God, His kingdom and His will. No Christian should want to be on the side of anything that is opposed to God. Too much is at stake. Remember that Satan is a master deceiver; he is personally deceived but he deceives others as well. How important is this? The future of individuals and nations hang in the balance!
