The
Lord Almighty planned it, to bring low the pride of all Glory
And to Humble all
who are Renowned on the earth. (Isaiah
23:9, NIV)
The
Lord of Hosts has purposed it
[In accordance with
a fixed principle of His Government].
To Defile the Pride
of all Glory
And to bring into
Dishonor and Contempt all the Honored of the Earth.
(Isaiah 23:9, AMP)
Why is this?
It is because ALL THAT
MEN HONOR and ALL WHO MEN HONOR
ARE CONTEMPTIBLE TO GOD.
Listen:
For we have ALL
become as one who is unclean
[Ceremonially, as a
leper],
And all our
Righteousness—our best deeds of Rightness and Justice--
ARE AS FILTHY RAGS
or a Polluted Garment.
We ALL fade as a
leaf, and our Iniquities, like the wind, take us away
[Far from God's
favor, hurrying us to DESTRUCTION].
[Lev. 13:45, 46.]
And NO ONE calls
upon Your Name and awakens and bestirs himself
To take and keep
hold of You.
For You have hid
Your face from us and have delivered us into the
[Consuming Power of
our Iniquities. [Rom. 1:21-24.]
Listen to the
apostle Paul explain this Terrible Condition of mankind:
For that which is
known about God is Evident to them
And made Plain in
their inner consciousness,
Because God
[Himself] has shown it to them.
For ever since the
Creation of the World His Invisible Nature and attributes, That is,
His Eternal Power and Divinity has been made Intelligible
And Clearly
Discernible in and through the things that have been made--
His handiworks--
SO [MEN] ARE WITHOUT
EXCUSE--
Altogether without
any Defense or Justification; [Ps 19:1-4.]
Because they knew
and RECOGNIZED Him as the God,
THEY DID NOT HONOR
AND GLORIFY HIM AS GOD, or give Him Thanks.
But instead they
became FUTILE and godless in their thinking--
WITH VAIN
IMAGINATIONS, FOOLISH REASONING
AND STUPID
SPECULATIONS--
And their Senseless
Minds were DARKENED.
Claiming to be Wise,
they became FOOLS--
Professing to be
Smart, they made Simpletons of themselves.
And by them the
Glory and Majesty and Excellence of the Immortal God
Were Exchanged for
and represented by Images, resembling mortal man
And birds and beasts
and reptiles.
THEREFORE God GAVE
THEM UP
In the Lusts of
their [own] hearts to Sexual Impurity,
To Dishonoring of
their bodies among themselves,
ABANDONING them to
the degrading Power of Sin.
Because they
Exchanged the TRUTH of God for a LIE
And worshiped and
served the CREATURE rather than the CREATOR,
Who is blessed
Forever! Amen—so be it. [Jer. 2:11.]
(Romans 1:19-25,
AMP)
Today, we see
everything that Isaiah and the apostle Paul spoke of.
And for that reason,
God Almighty is going
to bring to Dishonor and Contempt
On ALL the honored of
the Earth an ALL that the people honor.
There is going to come
soon, an HOUR OF TRIAL, upon the Whole World
TO TEST THOSE WHO LIVE
ON THE EARTH [Revelation 3:10];
God's Great
Tribulation.
The only ones who will
ESCAPE this TRIAL will be the Elect of God--
Those who STAND FIRM in
FAITH to the END. (Matthew 24:13)
Christ
Jesus warned us all:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
