Podcasts about Divine judgment

Let's be honest—Judges is one of those books in the Bible that makes you pause and say, “Wait… what?” The stories are full of deeply flawed people doing questionable things. But they also hold up a mirror to our own human condition. They reveal our drift, our compromise, our self-reliance. And they whisper a question that echoes throughout the Old Testament: Who will save us?   In this episode, Whit George and Angela Ekstrum what the book of Judges shows us about the state of our hearts and the faithfulness of God.   Show notes:   In this episode, they reference Judges for You by Timothy Keller   Check Out the Message | Counter Culture, The Reality of Sin, & God's Unrelenting Faithfulness: https://youtu.be/1Nzx1EnO0mw?si=0Je9rFnsTOyyBEE8 Time Stamps: 0:00 – A Journey Worth Sharing 2:00 – Angela: From “Not a Pastor” to Bible Boss 5:00 – Finding Her Voice in Scripture 8:00 – Rethinking How We Read the Bible 14:00 – Judges: A Mirror of the Human Heart 18:00 – Wrestling with Divine Judgment 24:00 – Justice, Mercy, and God's Restraint 30:00 – Forming a Counter-Culture People 36:00 – Community is Not Optional 41:00 – Growth Through the Grind 46:00 – Generational Faith & Forgotten Stories 54:00 – God Allows Testing for Our Good 1:03:00 – Everyday Faithfulness in a Watching World 1:10:00 – Living as Light in the Darkness 1:17:00 – The God Who Keeps Showing Up 1:26:00 – Commitment, Complacency, and Coming Home

This sermon focuses on Genesis 3, exploring the consequences of the fall of humanity and God's subsequent judgments. It systematically addresses the curses placed upon the serpent, the woman, and the man, detailing the specific pains and hardships each faces as a result of their sin. However, the speaker emphasizes that within these judgments, there is also an immediate revelation of God's plan for redemption, highlighted by the promise of the "seed of the woman" who will ultimately overcome the serpent. The sermon concludes by urging listeners to acknowledge human sin and suffering while choosing to be grateful for God's enduring mercy and the hope offered through Christ. Support the showThanks for listening!

Welcome to the Christian Bible Study Ministry podcast, where we delve into the profound and often misunderstood concept of judgment within Christianity. In this episode, we explore the various forms of judgment mentioned in the Bible, including how Jesus Christ judges believers and unbelievers. We also examine the meanings of the Greek words "krisis" and "krima," shedding light on their implications for both temporal and eternal consequences. Join us as we discuss the Bema Judgment, where believers are assessed not for their salvation, but for the rewards they have earned through their works. This episode also addresses common misconceptions about judgment within the church and offers guidance on how Christians can righteously judge one another, fostering growth and repentance in the faith community. By understanding these spiritual truths, we aim to provide clarity and encouragement for believers seeking to align their lives with God's will and avoid the fearsome Great White Throne Judgment. Embrace the call to live a life of meaningful service to God, bearing good fruit and securing your eternal rewards.

Numbers 5 – Historical and Cultural Context, Laws on Purity, Restitution, and Marital Faithfulness Numbers 5 provides laws that govern purity, restitution, and marital faithfulness among the Israelites. These laws were deeply rooted in the historical and cultural context of ancient Israel and were essential for maintaining social order and religious holiness. 1. Purity Laws and Removal of the Unclean (Numbers 5:1-4) Historical Context In the ancient Near East, many societies, including Egypt and Mesopotamia, had rules regarding ritual purity, often linked to religious practice. The Israelites, however, had a unique system where impurity was directly tied to God's presence in their camp. •The Israelites had just received the Law at Mount Sinai, where God established that He would dwell among them (Exodus 25:8). •The need to remove those with skin diseases (e.g., leprosy), bodily discharges, or contact with dead bodies was not only for hygiene but to maintain the camp's ritual purity. •Unlike other ancient societies that viewed disease as fate or punishment from capricious gods, the Israelites saw impurity as something that could be addressed through prescribed rituals (Leviticus 13-15). Significance •These laws reinforced that holiness was essential for God's presence to remain among the people. •They protected the community from potential disease outbreaks, aligning with what we now recognize as public health measures. •The Israelites understood purity not only as a physical condition but as a spiritual state necessary to be in fellowship with God. 2. Restitution for Wrongdoing (Numbers 5:5-10) Historical Context Restitution laws were common in the ancient world, but Israel's laws placed special emphasis on confession and compensation. •In other Near Eastern legal codes, such as the Code of Hammurabi (c. 1754 BCE), penalties were often severe and did not necessarily involve restitution to the victim. •The Israelite law required a guilty person to confess their sin, compensate the victim with the original amount plus an additional 20%, and offer a sacrifice to atone before God. •If the victim had no relatives to receive the repayment, it was given to the priest, reinforcing the communal aspect of justice. Significance •This law highlights that sin is not only against an individual but also against God and the community. •It shows that biblical justice emphasized restoration, not just punishment. •The concept of confession before restitution foreshadows later Jewish and Christian teachings on repentance. 3. The Test for an Unfaithful Wife (Numbers 5:11-31) – The Sotah Ritual Historical Context This passage describes a trial by ordeal, a common judicial practice in the ancient Near East where divine intervention was sought to determine guilt or innocence. •Similar rituals existed in Mesopotamia and Babylon, where accused individuals had to submit to tests like being thrown into a river—if they survived, they were innocent. •The Sotah ritual (trial of the suspected adulteress) in Israel differed significantly. It involved a priestly ceremony where the accused woman drank water mixed with dust from the Tabernacle floor. •If guilty, she would suffer illness and infertility; if innocent, she remained unharmed and could bear children. Significance •This law protected women from arbitrary punishment by requiring a formal religious process rather than allowing husbands to act out of jealousy. •Unlike other ancient laws where women were immediately executed if accused of adultery (as in Hammurabi's Code), Israel's law required divine judgment, ensuring fairness. •The ritual emphasized that God was the ultimate judge in cases where human evidence was lacking. •The ceremony was symbolic, demonstrating that marital faithfulness was not just a social matter but a covenant before God. Key Lessons from Numbers 5 in Historical Context 1.Holiness and Community Order – The purity laws emphasized the sacredness of God's dwelling among the people and reflected an advanced understanding of hygiene and social order. 2.Justice and Restitution – Unlike many ancient laws that prioritized harsh punishment, biblical justice focused on confession, repentance, and making amends. 3.Divine Judgment in Relationships – The Sotah ritual ensured that accusations of adultery were handled fairly, rather than allowing human bias to dictate justice. Numbers 5 shows that ancient Israel's laws were deeply tied to their understanding of God's presence and moral order. Unlike other ancient societies where rulers and priests controlled legal matters for personal gain, Israel's system ensured fairness, justice, and divine guidance in both personal and communal matters.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In this episode we continue our series on the Women of the Bible series looking at Jezebel. We discover what lessons we can learn from this historical account such as the consequences of rejecting God, the certainty of His judgement and the saving grace He has provided to us through His Son Christ Jesus. We further explore how we can choose to use our God given abilities for good or evil and the consequences this can have for those under our authority. We continue by exploring the consequences of what seems to be a dysfunctional marriage and how this can have generational impact. Furthermore, we explore what can be the sometimes negative outcomes of sexual manipulation and how important it is to choose a good spouse as this affects our lives, the lives of our children and those under us

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR

In this episode we're joined by Dr. M. John-Patrick O'Connor, who is Associate Professor of New Testament at Northwest University, and the author of the book that we're discussing in this episode, The Last Will Be First: Divine Judgment in the Gospel of Mark (published by Baylor University Press). In our conversation we discuss the “grammar of judgment” present in the Gospel of Mark as it relates to the “little ones” (mikra) and “big ones” (megaloi) in the text. We discuss the necessity of judgment, what we lose if remove judgment from our conceptions of God, and implications for discipleship and theology.

A righteous versus wicked conflict permeates Scripture from Genesis to modern times. Through Psalm 37, we see how the wicked plot against God's people with drawn swords and bent bows. Yet despite this hostility, the righteous are assured of God's protection and ultimate victory. The sermon examines this spiritual warfare and its implications for believers today—an exposition of Psalm 37:12-15. ★ Support this podcast ★

Our God has a long history of blessing his people doing things for our good. Our God has shown Himself faithful to his covenant people over and over and over and the problem is, instead of responding to God's faithfulness with our own faithfulness. We tend to be rebellious. We do not choose his will, but we go after our own will, disappointing God and bringing upon ourselves God's judgment. Now we are studying in the Book of Amos.

In the scriptures, we find a very important question. And the question is, Is God the one true God? Is the only god of the Jewish people? And the answer is, No, he is not. He is a God for humanity, and God has a plan of salvation, not just for Israel, but for all of humanity. He created all of humanity. Therefore He is the Lord, the master, over all human beings.

I have been meaning to speak on this topic for a while now. An email I got from a listener a few weeks ago raised the issue, and I have not been able to forget it. I addressed the subject in a blog about a year ago, but I have not addressed it in a podcast in relation to nonduality. This is the question of justice. Those who are exploring nonduality wonder how it addresses questions of justice. This subject is raised in a couple of contexts.One is that if there is no personal afterlife of the individual because the ego is an illusion, then what about all those people who did terrible things in life. People like Adolph Hitler or Pol Pot or war criminals or serial killers. If there is no Divine Judgment or hell, then does that mean these evil characters get off Scott-Free? It seems so wrong! So unjust! The other context in which this topic arises is that of working for justice in society today. I am talking about social action. Does nonduality mean that everything is fine just the way it is, and there is no need to try to make this a better and more just world? Does nonduality mean abandoning any sense of social justice or even personal morality? If Nondual Reality is beyond the duality of good and evil, does that mean that there is no moral arc to the universe? Does that mean that the arc of history does not bend toward justice?

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | Luke 12:49-50

Gen 7:1-24 Have you ever seen decorations of Noah's ark in babies' nurseries? They're usually very cute and playful. However, isn't it ironic that the flood was one of the most severe displays of God's judgment on sin? Knowing that might make us feel quite differently about our nursery themes! We're going to look at the account of the flood and also God's great plan of salvation today. Although there is certainly great terror associated with God's judgment, rest assured God always gives great hope.

Pastor Jim Osman explores how finding refuge in Christ requires submission to His divine kingship. Through an analysis of Psalm 2:10-12, he explains how rulers and all people must give attention to God's warning, offer proper worship, and pledge allegiance to the Son. Finding refuge in Christ means embracing His authority and turning from rebellion to reconciliation, understanding that true blessing comes through submission to God's appointed King. ★ Support this podcast ★

Revelation, Session Two Christ the Savior, Anderson SC Fr. Anthony Perkins Sources: The translation of the Apocalypse is from the Orthodox Study Bible. Lawrence R. Farley, The Apocalypse of St. John: A Revelation of Love and Power, The Orthodox Bible Study Companion (Chesterton, IN: Ancient Faith Publishing, 2011), Bishop Averky, The Epistles and the Apocalypse (Commentary on the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament, Volume III. (Holy Trinity Seminary Press, 2018). Andrew of Caesarea, Commentary on the Apocalypse, ed. David G. Hunter, trans. Eugenia Scarvelis Constantinou, vol. 123, The Fathers of the Church (Washington, DC: The Catholic University of America Press, 2011). Venerable Bede, The Explanation of the Apocalypse, trans. Edward Marshall (Oxford: James Parker and Co., 1878). William C. Weinrich, ed., Revelation, Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2005). Correction from Last Week Revelation was removed from active use because it was being used to support the Marcionists, not the Gnostics [or Montanism as I said in the class!]. The Orthodox Study Bible; “[I]n the second and third centuries Revelation was widely twisted and sensationally misinterpreted, and the erroneous teachings brought troublesome confusion to Christians – a trend that continues to this day.” Review of Last Week The Church wants us to be aware of the Last Judgement but from WITHIN the sacraments and the “good defense” God gives us through them.  Authorship and Dating of the Work The author was St. John the Theologian St. John's disciple Papias of Hierapolis, St. Justin the Martyr (lived in Ephesus), St. Irenaeus (disciple of Polycarp of Smyrna who was a disciple of St. John), St. Hippolytus (disciple of St. Irenaeus), St. Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian and Origen were early leaders of the Church who knew and witnessed to this. The work itself (see 1:2; also exile on Patmos). The date of the work is AD 95/96 St. Irenaeus; Against Heresies (5.30.3) Purpose of the Work To show things that must shortly come to pass (1:1). Pastoral protection and encouragement to the early Church against state persecution and (internal) heresy. Apokalypsis means uncovering of something that has been hidden. Style and Interpretation of the Work Apocalyptic Literature.  A “visceral” (Fr. Lawrence) and heavily symbolic genre.  It is meant to be prophetic in every sense of the word. “It is a human work.  But it is also an apostolic work, and as an apostle, John tells the truth, striving to convey to us the substance and power of what the Lord revealed to him for our sake.” (Fr. Lawrence) What are we to make of the diverse interpretations offered by saints? Not to be taken literally in the modern sense; “Thus, for example, a literalistic understanding of the images of this book has given occasion, and even now continues to give occasion, for the false teaching of “Chiliasm” – the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth.” (Bishop Averky) Bishop Averky says four main categories of interpretation (and calls for a combination): Visions and symbols of the “last times” (end of the world, the anti-christ, second coming) Description of the historical pagan Roman persecutions against the Church in the first century. Look for realization of the prophecies in recent history. Allegorical and moral meaning. The Orthodox Study Bible: “Faithfulness in tribulation” is the main theme, with subthemes of Divine Judgment of human wickedness and The symbolic presentation of most major New Testament teachings concerning eschatology, the study of the last things. 1:1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants – things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John. Andrew of Caesarea. “An apocalypse is the manifestation of hidden mysteries when the intellect is illuminated either through divine dreams or according to waking visions from divine enlightenment. To be given to Christ, it says, making this statement about him especially with respect to his human , since in the Gospel he above all others dwelt on the sublime and things that befit God. And here, the magnitude of the divinity of Christ is shown through the attending angel, and through the name of the teaching servants, for “all things are his servants.” The must come to pass soon means that some of the predictions concerning them are to come to pass immediately thereafter and the things regarding the end are not to be delayed, because “one thousand years” to God is “like yesterday's day, which is reckoned as having elapsed.” St. Bede. The revelation of Jesus Christ.  The progress with which the Church that had been founded by the Apostles was to be extended, or the end with which it was to be perfected, had need to be revealed, in order to strengthen the preachers of the faith against the opposition of the world. And John, in his own manner, refers the glory of the Son to the Father, and testifies that Jesus Christ has received from God. shortly. That is, which are to happen to the Church in the present time. signified. He wrapped up this revelation in mystical words, that it might not be manifested to all, and become lightly esteemed. angel. For an angel appeared to John in the form of Christ, as will be seen more clearly in that which follows. John. That through John He might lay open to all His servants the things which he, by the privilege of a peculiar chastity, obtained above all others to behold. Oecumenius: When it is said to him, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him,” it is as though he said, “This revelation is given from the Father to the Son, and then from the Son to us,” his servants. By calling the saints the “servants” of Christ, he safeguards what is proper to his deity. For, to whom would men belong, unless to him who is the Maker and Creator of humankind? And who is the Creator of human-kind and of all creation? No one other than the only begotten Word and Son of God! For, the present author says in the Gospel, “All things were made through him.” And why does he wish to add “what must soon take place,” although those events which will take place have not yet occurred, even though a considerable span of time has passed, more than five hundred years, since these words were spoken? Because to the eyes of the eternal and endless God all ages are regarded as nothing, for, as the prophet says, “A thousand years in your sight, O Lord, are as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.”3 For this reason, therefore, he added “soon,” not to indicate a measure of time which must pass before the fulfillment of what must happen, but to indicate the power and eternality of God. For to him who is, any passage of time, even should it be great and considerable, is something small when compared with that which is unending   1:2. Who bore witness to the Word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.   OSB: Testimony of Jesus refers to a witness concerning Jesus; not the testimony of Christ Himself. Andrew of Caesarea.  “Christ,” he says, “declared these things to me through an angel, as a master to a household servant, as I had borne witness to my confession to him,” of which, on the basis of the visions to bear witness and, in view of the return of those who hear, to preach both the things which are and which escape human understanding and the things which will occur in the future, for, prophetically, he had seen them both. And clear from what he says: those things which are and those which must come to pass. These are descriptions both of the present time and of the future. St. Bede; testimony. That thou mayest not doubt of the person of John, he is the same who gave testimony to the eternal Word of God incarnate, according as he saw, saying, “Whose glory we saw, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father.”   1:3.  Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. Andrew of Caesarea.  He blesses those who read and hear through the actions, for the present time is near, through which it is possible to acquire the blessing, and to all the work is laid open. As the Lord says, “Work [13] while it is day.” And elsewhere, the time is near, the time of the distribution of prizes, on account of the brevity of the present life in comparison to the future. St. Bede. Blessed. Teachers and hearers are therefore blessed, because they who keep the Word of God find that a short time of labour is followed by everlasting joys. Averky; “The book of the Apocalypse has, consequently, not only a prophetic but also a moral significance.  The meaning of these words is as follows: blessed is he who, reading this book, will prepare himself by his life and deeds of piety for eternity, for the translation to eternity is near for each of us. Fr. Lawrence.  Seven beatitudes (blessings) are pronounced upon (Fr.

This chapter isn't just a historical record; it's a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and a call to remember how past victories can prepare us for future battles.As we unpack this passage, we'll explore how Moses was instructed to encourage and strengthen Joshua, the next leader of Israel. This encouragement was more than just kind words; it was a transfer of faith, confidence, and strength, rooted in the remembrance of God's previous works. We'll also connect these lessons to New Testament teachings, particularly the principles found in Hebrews 10:24-25, which emphasize the power of presence, consideration, and connection in offering true encouragement.Study Notes for "The Value of Past Experiences" (Deuteronomy 3:1-29)Key Themes:Reflection on Past Victories: Deuteronomy 3 recounts Israel's victory over Og, King of Bashan, emphasizing the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in past battles to build confidence for future challenges.Encouragement as a Spiritual Practice: Moses was commanded to encourage and strengthen Joshua, reminding him that just as God had granted victories in the past, He would continue to do so in the future. This highlights the power of encouragement in leadership and spiritual growth.Divine Judgment and Obedience: The chapter also touches on the consequences of disobedience, as seen in God's refusal to allow Moses to enter the Promised Land. This serves as a sober reminder of the importance of following God's commands.Key Verses:Deuteronomy 3:21: "And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings; so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms through which you pass.'"Deuteronomy 3:22: "You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you."Practical Application:Remember Past Victories: Reflect on how God has worked in your life before, and use those experiences to strengthen your faith for current and future challenges.Encourage Others Thoughtfully: Whether in a leadership role or in everyday interactions, follow Moses' example by being present, understanding others' situations, and using carefully chosen words to uplift and strengthen their faith.Trust in God's Faithfulness: Just as God led Israel to victory, He is with us in our battles today. Lean on His promises and encourage others to do the same.Reflection Questions:How have Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Scripture – Revelation 6:9-17 Sermon Summary:  God's promise that the Day of His wrath is coming is meant to give comfort and courage to saints struggling against, and suffering under, worldly opposition as they seek to faithfully follow Jesus.

 BUY THE 1 SAMUEL JOURNAL Is God punishing you or preparing you? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 5. I've titled this chapter "Clearing The Path To Glory." So far, in Chapter 5, we've discovered that the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant and took it back to Ashdod, setting it up in the temple of Dagon. The following day, the people awoke to find that Dagon had fallen prostrate before the Ark. Despite their shock, they propped him back up. The next morning, they discovered Dagon had fallen again with his head and hands cut off, which terrified them. Then we read verses 6-7: The hand of the Lord was heavy against the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. And when the men of Ashdod saw how things were, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for his hand is hard against us and against Dagon our god.” — 1 Samuel 5:6-7 There are a couple of choices as to what disease this was, and we are not sure. Some think it was the Bubonic Plague transmitted by fleas and rats that spread to humans. Or it could have also been a massive break of hemorrhoids that afflicted the people. Either way, this outbreak was a major pain in the butt, so much so that they associated the affliction with the recent capture of the Ark. What is fascinating about this situation is that people who believed that they just defeated God now believe God was defeating them. They have seen enough occurrences to believe God is punishing them. At some point, we are all disciplined by God. Most of the time, discipline by God comes in the form of natural consequences stemming from disobedience to him or his authority in this life. These consequences inflict pain and compel us to pay attention, thus driving us to pay attention to God. For instance, if you are intoxicated and drive a vehicle and then get pulled over, there are numerous consequences. You will be arrested, ticketed, lose driving privileges, incur legal fees, face probation, and insurance increases. In this example, it is relatively easy to see the connection between our human defiance and God's divine punishment. It is even easier to see you have a biblical worldview that assumes God is the divine judge who governs all things and operates through human government to administer judgment for human defiance. But in the case of the Philistines, they did not have a biblical worldview. They held polytheistic views, but they were right in this situation to establish a divine connection. The "heavy hand of God's judgment" was afflicting them. Through natural circumstances, he was trying to get their attention, and they made the connection. What they neglected to do was worship him. Instead, they would dispose of him by sending the Ark of God to another town. Here is what you need to see today. When you experience affliction and discipline in life, you should pause and assess the divine signs. Afflictions by God are meant to get our attention. Take time to pause, reflect, and assess. Go to God in prayer and ask God to show you why this is happening in your life. Discern if God is afflicting you for disobedience or to drive you toward deeper obedience. Either way, God will likely show you something that he wants you to see. Remember, there are moments when we experience affliction without seeing the act of disobedience. For example, consider the stories of Job or even Jesus. Afflictions in both cases did not stem from disobedience but were designed to stretch their obedience. Both types of discipline and affliction have occurred in this story. Some people in Israel were not disobedient to God and yet were being disciplined, like Samuel and his family. On the other hand, God was directly disciplining others, like Eli and his family who had been blatantly disobedient. Either way, the right response is always to bow and worship the Lord. It is to submit to him and his discipline and be changed by his affliction. It is not to do what the Philistines do here and merely suppose it is God and then dispose of him. #DivineDiscipline, #GodsCorrection, #FaithJourney Ask This: When have you experienced a situation that felt like divine discipline? How did it impact your relationship with God and your understanding of His guidance in your life? How can you better recognize and respond to God's discipline in your daily life? How can this awareness transform your spiritual growth and obedience? Do This: Pause, reflect, and accept the afflictions and discipline of God. Pray This: Lord, help me recognize Your discipline in my life and respond with humility and obedience. Guide me to deeper understanding and faith, trusting that Your correction is for my growth and good. Amen. Play This: The Struggle.

Ever wondered what it feels like to confront demonic forces in the very heart of political power? On this gripping episode of Chronicles of the End Times, we kick off with Glenn Beck's extraordinary dream where he encounters malevolent entities within the White House. This chilling vision serves as a gateway to understanding the deep spiritual warfare that is unfolding in our world. We'll expose the unsettling influence of dark forces on modern governance and societal issues, emphasizing how moral and spiritual corruption erodes the very fabric of our civilization.As we venture further, the discussion pivots to the monumental themes of rebellion and divine judgment. Drawing from the books of Joel, Psalms, and Revelation, we dissect historical and prophetic defiance against God's divine plan and highlight the ultimate rebellion orchestrated by Satan. Finally, we unravel the climactic battle that will determine the future, stressing the urgency of equipping ourselves with this knowledge to effectively warn others. 

Tuesday Bible study with Bro. Anthony Hanson.

Scripture teaches that all of us are guilty of sin. And regardless of circumstances or intentions, not one of us can escape God's perfect judgment. But the Bible also explains that God has made a way for us to be reconciled to Him. In this episode, Pastor John Munro discusses how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the divine solution to the problem of sin.

Everyone is supposed to be equal under the law.  But the reality is that human justice is often less than perfect. In this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro helps us look beyond this fallen world, and reflect on the perfect and impartial justice of God.

We complete our study of Psalm 9, a Thanksgiving Psalm. v11 introduces the 2nd half of the Psalm with a parallel verse to v1, singing praises to the Lord, who dwells in and with His people (Zion), calling them to declare His deeds to all people.The basis for his praise, thanksgiving and declarations is God's justice that He performs on behalf of the oppressed and the humble, who call out to Him. In particular, He is the Avenger of innocent blood, who investigates every crime and hunts down the oppressor (v12, see also Numbers 35:33-34, Genesis 4:10, 2 Kings 9:26). God will remember and avenge the blood of His persecuted people. We discuss the avenger of blood and the cities of refuge in the Old Testament. All have sinned, and the Lord is the Avenger, who will hunt every man down until they pay in full for their sin, but God has also provided a City of Refuge for us - Jesus Christ, to whom we can flee for safety (Hebrews 6:18, Proverbs 18:10). Believers are those "who have fled for refuge to Christ" (Hebrews 6:18). In Christ we are saved from Divine Judgment. We discuss the danger of sitting on the fence as illustrated by the story of Joab killing Abner in the gates of Hebron (a city of refuge) in 2 Samuel 3. Next David asks God to deliver him from those who hate him, who were seeking to kill him (v13), and it is significant that his main motivation for asking for deliverance was that it would result in God getting the glory (v14), which is a great example for us. If our prayers were motivated by the glory of God, we would surely see more answers. He then describes one way God's judgment works in this life - the law of sowing and reaping. Evildoers get ensnared in the same trap they set for others (v15,16). Haman built a gallows for Mordecai, only to be executed on it himself. God can created this universe to operate in a moral way, according to His moral and physical laws, so when people violate His moral order, it will come back to bite them. Moreover, sin carries its own curse, bringing darkness, death and destruction on the sinner. This can be seen as a judgment of God on sin, for God created and ordained things to work this way. "There is nothing that a wicked man does that is not against his own interest. He is continually doing himself harm, and takes more pains to destroy his soul than the righteous man does to get his saved unto eternal life." This is a weighty truth, so the Psalmist adds at this point: "Higgaion; Selah", which means meditate on this; mark it well. Then David goes on to describe final end of the wicked at death and beyond: "The WICKED shall be turned into HELL (Sheol), and all the nations that FORGET God." The essence of sin is forgetting God, living as if there is no God, forgetting the claims of our Creator. Even nice people who forget God are wicked in His sight. Since they forget Him and push Him out of their thoughts, God will forget them – they will be separated from His loving Presence forever. This is their eternal judgment - God gives them up to their choice to be independent from God. Why does the sinner forget God? Because the thought of God (1) makes him afraid, (2) doesn't entertain him enough, and (3) makes it hard for him to carry on in sin. By contrast "the needy (those who know their need for God and depend on Him) shall not always be forgotten (He will remember them forever - they will eternally dwell in His Presence). The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever" (v18). Even if it seems like God has forgotten them, He has not, and soon He will manifest His grace to them, which will continue forever. David finishes with a prayer for God to move into action and judge the nations for their own sake: "Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail (prosper in their evil ways). Let the nations be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord (Divine judgments produce the fear of the Lord in people), that the nations may know themselves to be but (weak, frail) men (who need salvation). Selah" (v19,20). David does not ask God to display His judgment upon the wicked from a spirit of hatred. His real hope was that the display of God's judgment would teach them their proper place before God, so that they would humble themselves before God and be saved (see Psalm 9:12). It is better for them to experience the wake up call of a judgment in this life, than face an eternal judgment of condemnation in Hell.

Psalm 9 & 10 have a close relationship, so much so the Septuagint treats them as one. The acrostic structure that begins in Ps 9 continues into Ps 10, linking them together. They also have similar terminology & themes. But each stands by itself. Ps 9 is a Thanksgiving Psalm, whereas Ps 10 is more a lament. The title of both Psalms, giving the key to their fulfilment, is 'the Death of the Son' which points to the work of Messiah, the Son of God (Ps 2:7), who was prophesied to become a Man, the Seed of the Woman, to take our sin and suffer death to save us, and then crush the enemy underfoot in His resurrection (Gen 3:15). In this way, He lays the basis for the salvation of those who receive Him, and for establishing His Kingdom on earth. In this way, Ps 9 continues on from the messianic revelation of Ps 8, and this connection is confirmed by the mention of the NAME of the Lord (9:2), as in Ps 8:1,9. Thus the death of the Messiah, the Son of God is the basis for the ultimate fulfilment spoken of in these Psalms. Ps 9 is a Thanksgiving Psalm, but whereas thanksgiving is usually for the Lord's mercies, here it is mostly for His Righteous Judgments, that in a world full of wickedness and oppression, God will set things right, punish the wicked and restore the oppressed, and right all wrongs. David starts by praising God with all his heart, proclaiming all His wonderful works, rejoicing in His salvation and singing praise to His Name or revealed nature (v1,2). He then thanks God for how He'd fought for him in the past and will fight for him in his future battles, acknowledging God's Presence with him was the key to his victories, causing his enemies to retreat, fall and be defeated before him (v3). God had supported David in his cause; judging in his favour as the Judge of Righteousness, only because he had submitted to God and His cause (v4). Likewise, when we first submit to God, He gives us more of His grace (presence), so that when we resist the enemy, he will will flee from us (Jam 4:6-7). Then in v5-6 looks at the bigger picture and declares the future final judgments of the Day of the Lord, just before God's Kingdom is established on earth. He uses the prophetic perfect tense to emphasise these prophecies are certain to come to pass. He announces the final destruction of the wicked, blotting out their name forever. Once God's Kingdom is established, the wicked and their earthly kingdoms will be forgotten, and the wicked will be blotted out of God's Book of Life. God's enemies, who'd destroyed many cities, will themselves be destroyed, so that they can no longer destroy others. Even their memory will perish. This will be fulfilled when all the kingdoms of this world will be destroyed at Christ's 2nd Coming, when He'll establish His Kingdom on the earth. By contrast with the reign of the wicked, the Lord & His Kingdom will endure forever; He'll judge the nations from His throne (v7). "He shall judge the world in righteousness" (v8) - in Acts 17:31, Paul quotes this verse, claiming it will be fulfilled by Jesus Christ: “He has appointed a Day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the MAN whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by RAISING Him from the DEAD.” This shows Paul understood the messianic nature of this Psalm, as revealed by its Title - that the Lord who will ultimately reign as King & Judge over the whole world, is Christ, the Son of God, who'll first become a man and die and rise again. Then, David offers thanksgiving for the salvation of God's people, who trust in the Messiah, who is a refuge for the oppressed, who call upon Him in times of trouble (v9). 'Trouble' is a rare word describing being in despair, cut off from all hope. Christ is also our Refuge from the Divine Judgment that we deserve for our sins. In His death, He became our Atonement (Covering), taking God's righteous judgment upon Himself, so that those who trust (take refuge) in Him are saved (as in the picture of Noah's Ark). Then he describes how believers can enjoy a growing intimate personal relationship with the Lord: "Those who KNOW Your Name will put their TRUST in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who SEEK You" (v10). We should be those who continually SEEK Him, for those who SEEK Him will FIND Him (Matt 7:7-8), for He will reward us by revealing more and more of Himself to us (Heb 11:6), so that we will personally KNOW Him more, and KNOW His Name (His nature, love, faithfulness, salvation - Jesus is the ultimate revelation of His Name), and the more we KNOW Him, the more we'll be able to TRUST in Him and receive from Him. We determine how close we are to God and how much faith we have, because it is up to us to SEEK Him (Matt 6:33). "If we draw near to God, He will draw near to us" (Jam 4:8). You show how close you want to be to the Lord by how much you seek Him, and He will fulfil your heart's desire accordingly.

The typical modern American has rejected the idea of a judging God, thinking that it gives them freedom. What they don't realize is that, without an ultimate judge, our lives lack meaning, purpose and hope. If there is no Just God who will judge and set all things right, there is no basis for anyone to claim any action is more meaningful than another. But as we see in John 12, Jesus has something to say about this judgment, and how a person can escape it.
