For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7.
This encouraging verse encapsulating the WHOLE message of The Scriptures for the world, has been the missing ingredient from The Gospel of Christ since the Early Church was crushed by the Roman State Religion! Daniel 7:19. That it was the Roman State Religion that prospered and grew to become Roman Catholicism as we know this today, with its vast wealth amassed in real estate that we see accumulated all over the world, is not in doubt! Dressing itself in luxury, and living in comfort, it is this “church” that is the mother of harlots and abominations in the earth, and God says,
“Come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double”. The Revelation 18:4 to 6.
“How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord Who judgeth her”. The Revelation 18:7 and 8.
Passionate about judgment, that God expects man to judge and do justice on Earth is a thread in Scripture which begins with Abraham’s calling in Genesis, Genesis 18:19, and ends with The Great White Throne Judgment in The Revelation! The Revelation 20:11 to 15.
With judgment day approaching, indeed in the year 2024, now only minutes away in God’s time, one day with God being as a thousand years with man, we need to wake up very quickly to get ourselves out of God’s way. Isaiah 26:20. Given to us to know the seasons, 1 Thessalonians 5:1, and Matthew 24:43, the manner of person, and the message that our Christian testimony bears witness to in this hour, becomes the vital focal point to survive into, and for survival after the consummation! That this Gospel of The Kingdom is now preached to every nation throughout the world, and is accompanied by the message of repentance and the coming judgment, 2 Timothy 4:1, cannot be taken lightly! We ARE to TAKE the Kingdom, to possess The Kingdom forever! Moreover, we are encouraged by prophecy in The Scriptures to TAKE AWAY his (Antichrist’s) dominion, to CONSUME, and to DESTROY it, unto the end. Daniel 7:26 and 27.
How we go about this now comes under the spotlight. “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit”, says The Sovereign Lord, can surely only mean that we are to concentrate on teaching God’s truth! God’s truth is that we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be moved, Hebrews 12:28, that the “daughters of the Great Whore of Babylon”, the false “churches” that teach heresy, and which have withheld “This Gospel of The Kingdom” from us, Romans 1:18 and 19, and 2 Thessalonians 2:1 to 7, must now be exposed, and abandoned! Ephesians 5:11. They have not established judgment in the gate, Amos 5:15, nor have they taught God’s Truth, that Christ’s True Church, is to keep the Courts of law! Thus saith The LORD of hosts; “If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by”. Zechariah 3:7.
Promising to strengthen the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress, Amos 5:9, we must take up the cause to attend on a few citizen’s arrests to remove the corrupt from their offices! It will not need too many men suitably prepared and prayed for during the operation, to quietly arrive with our policemen that believe, and arrest a few corrupt magistrates! We then follow the proper legal protocol to show them the evidence, read them their rights, and take them to the charge office to charge them with bribery and corruption, or defeating the ends of justice, as the evidence in hand shows we should! With Amos chapter 5 encouraging Christian men of action to keep their own counsel, verse 13, there is a clear commandment to establish judgment in the gate, Amos 5:15, and we will err if we believe this is not in context for us today!
Many verses of Scripture that are simply too clear in the message these verses impart, compel this thinking! Our Lord’s Church is to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4. We do not have any right to choose only those words that are convenient for us! We are supposed to set them who are the least esteemed to judge matters between us, our Lord’s Church being destined to judge the world, and angels, how much more things that pertain to this life! 1 Corinthians 6:2 and 3.
Our Courts of law should be run by REAL Christians, men who understand judgment, not the children of darkness!
May we study The Word to begin to take God seriously! May we understand God will bless us if we choose the things God loves, justice, and judgment! May we realize that we will be blessed if we take up the cause of justice! For thus saith The Lord, “keep ye judgment and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil! Isaiah 56:1.
May we begin to understand Isaiah, and trust God’s Word, that our God, The Lord of Hosts shall be for crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of His people. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate! Isaiah 28:5 and 6.
We are required to gather ourselves unto Him, 2 Thesalonians 2:1, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2. We are encouraged by the prophets to persevere, to steel ourselves, and look at the ants and the locusts as an example! Proverbs 30:24 to 28. We know that the people who do know their God, (The Spirit of Truth), shall be strong and do exploits, Daniel 11:32, and we will fail if we do not do justice and judgment!
