In “Does God Judge the World Today? Part 1” posted on 3-14-24 we examined just a few of the warnings that God issued to the Israelites before the severe judgment of removing them from their homeland.
“Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, “Thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.’”’” Ezekiel 38:1-3.
“When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.” Matthew 16:2b-3.
“Oh, sing to the Lord [Yahweh] a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His [Jesus’] glory among the nations [Gentiles], His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared [reverence, Godly fear and awe] above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols [literally, nothings], but the Lord [Jesus] made the heavens.” Psalm 96:1-5.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.” Psalm 95:1-2.
