-When God's government
reigns here on Earth, why will the wicked be dealt with in a way that seems
to force them to comply,
as it says in.Isaiah
30:20,21?
Isaiah
26:10 "Let favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness.
In the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly and will not behold the
majesty of the Lord."
Those who are steeped
in wicked ways tend
to continue on in those ways. The turn to wickedness was taken sometime
earlier in their lives as they came to believe it was the only way for
them to get ahead, a common.maxim
of the mass consciousness.
God has chosen to work with
such as these where some people respond more easily and quicker to truth.
Others may have problems so strongly tied to their flesh that they will
need total riddance of flesh before
progressing.
But they will
learn the right way and the only way to live and interact; love.
The Creator has great compassion
for the wicked and will ensure they
learn what He knows is best for them:.Isaiah
26:9 "With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit
within me will I seek thee early. For when your judgments are in the Earth,
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.".That's
why the
dark side is out to keep the Infinite's way of love from general knowledge.
Micah
4:3 "And he shall judge among many people and rebuke strong nations
afar off and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears
into pruninghooks. Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither
shall
they learn war any more." Titus
2:12 "Teaching us that, denying unGodliness.(not
caring how one's own selfishness affects others negatively).and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and Godly, in this present
world." Jude 1:15 "To execute judgment
upon all and to convince all that are unGodly
among them of all their unGodly deeds which they have unGodly committed
and of all their hard speeches which unGodly sinners have spoken against
him."
-Mark
13:24-27 Is this time about Christ's coming?
This passage of scripture
refers to right after
a
great tribulation:.Matthew
24:21,29. When was this?.Daniel
12:1.
But, in the setting up of
God's government on Earth, we all have a part:.John
14:1-3; Romans 5:3; 8:35;
12:12;
2Corinthians
1:4;
7:4;
Revelation
1:9.
There is an importance in
trials,
tests and sufferings people may be now enduring.
-Matthew
17:1-4 seems to show that some are now with
Christ in the Kingdom of God?
-Matthew
5:12 says our reward is in Heaven. Yet other scriptures indicate, we'll
reign on the Earth?
-Matthew
6:33..What
does it mean to seek the Kingdom Of God?
-What will we be doing in
the Kingdom of God?
You are already in what is
called the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God, etc. if you are a dedicated
spiritual person, a believer.(Matthew
21:32).as
they are often referred to. What you probably mean is, what happens beyond
this life and into eternity?.1Corinthians
6:3; Revelation 2:26; 3:12,21;
21:7;
Matthew
19:28; Luke 22:30; 14:15;
Mark
14:25. Sex too!
-Who are the elect?.Matthew
24:24; Romans 11:28; Colossians
3:12
The elect
are those the Infinite One has decided to
call and
adopt into His family,
if
they so choose at this time during their experience here on Earth.(Isaiah
42:1;
45:4; 65:9,22).for
the ultimate eternal life purpose:.1Corinthians
2:9. If you feel
this is happening to you.
This is an election
of individuals of humanity.(who
are these of humanity?).to
eternal life:.2Thessalonians
2:13; Ephesians 1:4; 1Peter
1:2; John 13:18. The ground of
this election to salvation is the good pleasure of God:.Ephesians
1:5,11; Matthew 11:25,26;
John
15:16,19. God defends His elect: John
18:9.
The Creator claims the right
so to do:.Romans
9:16,21. It is not conditioned on our faith or repentance, but is of
sovereign grace.(Romans
11:4-6;
Ephesians 1:3-6),
but it does take work now to get for yourself then, the highest position
you possibly can. All that pertains to salvation, the means.(Ephesians
2:8).as
well as the end, are of God:.Acts
5:31; 2Timothy 2:25; 1Corinthians
1:30; Ephesians 2:5,10.
Faith and repentance and
all other graces are the exercises of a regenerated soul and regeneration
by belief.(Matthew
21:32).through
the word of the Creator is His work, a."new
creature".
Men are elected 'to salvation,'
'to the adoption of sons,'."to
be holy and without blame before him in love":.Ephesians
1:4; 5:27. The ultimate end
of election is the praise of God's grace.(Ephesians
1:6,12).enabling
entrance into the Kingdom of God. But it's never forced on anyone:.2Chronicles
7:14.
