Page 145 - Racing Toward Judgement
P. 145
Look around you, Christian friend, at all the fearful
signs and wonders happening. Then be glad you have
lived to see the day that shall not pass till all His Word
is fulfilled.
2. God Delights in Delivering His People From Hard
Times.
As surely as God hates to send judgment on the
wicked, He loves to send deliverance to the righteous.
Paul understood the true nature of God—severe on the
wicked and good to the righteous:
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of
God: on them which fell, severity; but toward
thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
(Romans 11:22 KJV)
If you really understand the nature of God, and if
you know His record in the Word for delivering, there
is no way at all you can be afraid of the future. Look at
the record.
God revealed to Moses the reasons why He sends
judgment, plagues, and calamities upon a society: "I
will multiply my signs and wonders upon Egypt
that I may lay my hand upon Egypt . . . and deliver
my people . . . by great judgments . . ." (Exodus
7:3, 4).
For the same reasons, God is judging our world right
now. He must get His hands on the wicked and at the
same time deliver His children. Judgment is a process of
deliverance as well as retribution!
Talk about hard times, calamities, and judgment! In-
vasions of frogs, lice, disease, locusts, and hail! The
stench of death. Destruction of all cattle, all trees, and
everything green.
