Thoughts for another day
July 6, 2010
Today's verse: Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
This life will end for each one of us and we will pass into the next. Then someday, the Day of the LORD will come. The great and terrible day, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up (1 Pet. 3:10) and the splendor of the Holy One, the Most High, the One who came earlier as a simple carpenter in a nondescript village in Palestine. Yes, His glory will be seen from one end of the sky to the other and then men will shiver and tremble to face the Glory of the Mighty LORD.
In Isaiah a vivid account of what will be the consequence is given and it is like this: ‘The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will totally disappear. Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth. In that day men will throw away to the rodents and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship. They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth. (Is. 2:17-21 - NIV).
Men who decry the Savior of the world and cast aspersions on His Divinity, who insult Him and treat Him as dirt, will then cringe before Him. They will cry for mercy and none will be shown them for their ‘work and their words’ will act as their accuser. Men who’ve always been against the Most High, not giving Him the honor due His Name, thinking them to be powerful and mighty will be brought low. Sinners and all their forms of sin shall be vanquished. But for us who know the LORD God and His precious Son Jesus Christ have to but call on His Name and His sword, thirsting for blood will be held from us for He will recognize us and bid us come nigh to Him so we can stay together in His Kingdom forever.
