Verse(s) Week of April 1-7, 2008
Two Sides to This Story
Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
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.
Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jude 1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
This is the side of the story for those who are wicked and evil. They go their own way, stomping over anyone that gets in their way. They torment and torture those who are believers and think they are getting away with it. They are not. The Lord is coming to execute His judgments upon them. I want to pity them, but I cannot. God has given them chance after chance. He is long-suffereing, that not one will perish, still they reject Him. At the time of the judgment they will pay for their own sins. They jest and joke and mock believers. They tell their dirty jokes and do everything to make the life of a Christian miserable. They try to stop the Christian from getting promotions and pay raises. Sometimes they succeed in their evil deeds - for now. The day is coming when God will repay them. They are already miserable in their evil deeds - they are never satisfied, never have peace, and cannot sleep for trying to imagine even more evil against those who follow Christ. However, they will finally fail - no matter how much it looks like they win - they fail.
I will continue this with Part 2 the next time.
