Hello everybody, it's MsToll23 back with another video, gonna check to make sure the sound is working real quick, as always. Not even got, okay there we go, there's a notification. Alright, so the sound is working, alright, so in this video I want to address the modern liberal watered down Christian attitude which only focuses on the merciful side of God. When I say only, I mean only. There are some Christians out there who will never touch on the subject in the Bible about judgment and wrath of God. Now this is a great attribute of the Lord, the mercy is, that people will focus on. They will only talk about grace which is of course a major theme in the Bible but this is as well. The Bible says that the mercy of the Lord endureth forever. He gives grace to all who put their trust in them. There is that condition that one must put their trust in them, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to escape from the wrath of God. Mercy is not extended to every person in the world. There is the condition of election and that is belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible does not just talk about the Bible or talk about God as a God of mercy but also one of judgment as a result of his just nature. The Lord is just and he will give the punishment to those sinners for what they deserve who have not had their sins forgiven. Some people have this strange belief that somehow the God of the New Testament is different from the God of the Old Testament and that somehow the God of the New Testament is merciful but the God of the Old Testament was wrathful but that is simply not true. The Bible says in Malachi chapter 3 verse 6, fly in the Lord I change not therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed. Hebrews chapter 13 verse 8 says Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever. So our God has not changed. The God we worship is the same God that the apostles worshiped and the same God that Abraham worshiped and as we shall see in this video God does indeed execute judgment and wrath upon the wicked. These are not minor things in the Bible, it's a major recurring theme. I'm going to be quoting from a lot of verses in this video. A lot of these are Old Testament prophecies of the future, things that haven't happened yet. He's still a God of wrath and even a lot of them are in the New Testament as well. So in this video I'm mostly going to just be reading the verses because of how many there are and avoid explaining them but I don't really need to explain them. It doesn't really take much explaining at all to see the point that I'm trying to make in this video. The words like wrath and indignation and things like that keep appearing in all of these verses so just pay attention to it as I read them. But first I want to start with the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. I'm not going to read the whole story but just the concluding verse about what happens to Sodom and Gomorrah. It says in Genesis 19 verse 24 to 25, Then the Lord reigned upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities and all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities and that which grew upon the ground. Exodus chapter 32 verse 9 to 10 says, And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people and behold it is a stiff necked people. Now therefore let me alone that my wrath may wax hot against them and that I may consume them and I will make of thee a great nation. Deuteronomy chapter 29 verse 19 to 28 says, And it come to pass when he heareth the words of this curse. And he blessed himself in his heart saying, I shall have peace though I walked in the imagination of mine heart to add drunkenness to thirst. The Lord will not spare him but then the anger of the Lord in his jealousy shall smoke against that man and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. And the Lord shall separate unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of the law. So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you and the stranger that shall come from a far land shall say when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon it and that the whole land thereof is brimstone and salt and burning that it is not so nor beareth nor any grass groweth therein like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim which the Lord overthrew in his anger and in his wrath. Even all the nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done this unto the land? What meaneth the heat of this great anger? Then men shall say because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt for they went and served other gods and worshipped them gods whom they knew not and whom he had not given unto them and the anger of the Lord was kindled against that land to bring upon all the curses that are written in this book and the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger and in wrath and in great indignation and cast them into another land as it is this day. In 2 Kings chapter 17 verse 13 to 23 it says, Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah by all the prophets and by all the seers saying, Turn ye from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. Notwithstanding they were not here but hardened their necks like to the necks of their fathers that did not believe in the Lord their God and they rejected his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers and his testimonies which he testified against them and they followed vanity and became vain and went after the heathen that were round about them concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should not do like them and they left all the commandments of the Lord their God and made them molten images even two calves and made a grove and worshipped all the host of heaven and served Baal and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire and use divination and enchantments and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only. Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God but walked in the statutes of Israel which they had made and the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers until he had cast them out of his sight. For he rent Israel from the house of David and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king and Jeroboam gave Israel from following the Lord and made them sin a great sin for the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did. They departed not from them until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight. So as he had said by all servants of prophets, so was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. In 2 Kings 22 verse 16 and 17 it says, And saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read, because they have forsaken me and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. 2 Chronicles 36 verses 15 to 17 says, And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimed and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy. Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with a sword in the house of their sanctuary, had no compassion upon young men, or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age, he gave them all into his hand. Psalm 21 verse 8 to 11 says, Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies, thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger. The Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. For they intended evil against thee, the imagined and mischievous device, which they were not able to perform. It says in Psalm 78 verse 58 to 66, For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. When God heard this, he was wroth and greatly abhorred Israel, so that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the ten which he placed among men, and delivered his strength into captivity and his glory into the enemy's hand. He gave his people over also into the sword, and was wroth with his inheritance. The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not given to marriage. Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation. Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts, he put them to a perpetual reproach. Psalm 110 verse 5 to 6 says, The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen. He shall fill the places with the dead bodies. He shall wound the heads over many countries. Isaiah 13 9 to 13 says, Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate, and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light, the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause their light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity, and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even a man than the gold wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall move out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Isaiah chapter 26 verse 21 says, For behold, the Lord cometh out of his place, to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Isaiah 66 verse 15 and 16 says, For behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many. Jeremiah chapter 10 verse 10 says, But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God and everlasting king. At his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. Ezekiel chapter 22 verse 21 to 22 says, Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof, and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my fury upon you. Ezekiel 25 17 says, And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes, and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. Joel 1 15 says, Alas for the day, for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as the destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 2 verse 1 to 2 says, Blow ye the trumpeted zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand, a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains, a great people and as strong. There hath not been ever the like, neither shall there be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. Nahum chapter 1 verse 2 to 6 says, God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth. The Lord revengeth and is furious. The Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked. The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds with the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers. Bashan languisheth in Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned of his presence. Yea, the world and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation, and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. Befaniah chapter 1 verse 14 to 18 says, the great day of the Lord is near. It is near and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord. The mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of waste-ness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord. And their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath. But the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy, for it shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. The final one in the Old Testament is Zechariah chapter 14 verse 1 to 4. It says, Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished. And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mountain of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east. And the mountain of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west. And there shall be a very great valley, and half the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. So that's it for the Old Testament. I don't think I need to explain my point. There's constant mention of wrath, indignation, anger, fury, fiery, destruction, destruction of the wicked, slaying sinners, etc. And like I said before, many of these prophecies have not been fulfilled yet. They're written about further in the New Testament about something that will take place during the end times. So the Lord Jesus Christ will execute judgment when he comes a second time and will pour out his wrath upon the entire earth. We know that from the book of Revelation. Now here's some scriptures in the New Testament which go into more detail about this concept of judgment and the wrath of God. So it says in 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 7 to 10, and to you who are troubled to rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and for the glory of his power, when he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be admired in all that believe, because our testimony among you was believed in that day. Peter chapter 3 verse 10 says, but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also, and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Jude chapter 1 verse 14 to 15 says, and Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 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 the ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Revelation chapter 14 verse 9 to 11 says, and the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast in his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation, and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the lamb, and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever, and they shall have no rest, day or no night, who worship the beast in his image, and whosoever receive with the mark of his name. Revelation chapter 19 verse 11 to 21, this is the story of Armageddon. It says, and I saw, and this is prophesied also in the several chapters in the Old Testament such as the one where it says that the Lord will go to battle against all the nations, all the nations are gathered together against the Lord. It says in Revelation 19 starting in verse 11, and I saw heaven open, and behold the white horse, and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself, and he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the word of God, and the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword that with it he should smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God, and he hath on his vesture and his thigh a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords, and I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fellows that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together into the supper of the great God, that ye may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bondable, small and great. And I saw the beasts and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse and against his army, and the beast was taken and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and then worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone, and the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which saw it proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. I want to go briefly back away from the book of Revelation, back to the book of Jude, just the final verse that kind of wraps up this video, Jude chapter 1 verse 7, it says, Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. So the very first verse I read in this video was about the destruction which happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. And the Bible plainly teaches here in the book of Jude that this was set forth as an example of God's judgment of fire. We shouldn't push off the judgment of God as if it means nothing. It's written in the Bible as both a warning and as an example. So we know from the Bible, as from all the scriptures I just read to you, that God doesn't play around with the wicked. If you remove the judgment of God out of Christianity, you remove the reason why we need to get people saved in the first place. People have the philosophies of the world that everybody will go to heaven, or that nothing bad will ever happen to them, that God forgives sins on no basis whatsoever. No, He's commanded all men everywhere to repent. He's commanded all men to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That's how people are saved, by putting their trust in Him instead of trusting in themselves. Without that repentance, we will all die in our sins. And since we don't know when the prophecies of the Lord will be fulfilled, when He will come back and when the Lord will come and execute wrath upon the world, the unsaved today may indeed be those destroyed by a fire when Christ comes on the white horse and destroys the nations in Armageddon. We don't know that, but that's just something that the Bible teaches, and we should push that off as if it means nothing. There's a reason why we're going out and getting people saved. It's to save them from their sins and the punishment of their sins, which is hell, the lake of fire, and the wrath of God. So I hope you understand the point of this video. Just the title of the video is just, a Bible is also a book of judgment and wrath. That's just a clear statement. Just to show you that, because there's a lot of people who, for some reason, have this attitude that it's just love and mercy, and those are the only things that are in the Bible. There's none of any of these prophecies in there, even though there's dozens, and probably I don't even know how many I read, but there's a lot that I didn't read. I know that. This video would probably, how long has it been? It's only been about 20 minutes, but I could make this video an hour long, two hours long if I needed to. I could go on and list these things for a long time, especially from the Old Testament, especially just from reading the book of Revelation as well. So thank you everybody for watching. God bless you and goodbye.
