Nov 30, 2017- Suggested Reading 1st Service 2 Thessalonians 1


“This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.”

The holy fire has been kindled - the prophecies recorded in Dt 32:22 and Luke 12:49 have been fulfilled - the holy fire has been started and is raging now waiting for the Day that our Lord comes to earth with His powerful angels. When He comes again, it will be in judgment, to punish those who don’t know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. This punishment is everlasting. I can’t imagine being shut out from God’s Presence FOREVER. I can’t imagine destruction that lasts FOREVER. A forest fire on earth, births new life. A fire in a stove brings heat and prepares food. A brush fire produces ash which can be used for fertilizer and soap. A fire in a blast furnace produces purity. So it is with this holy fire, EVERLASTING destruction, on a scale we have never seen, and yet it produces purity, it redeems the earth, it makes the earth into a place that God will come to be “glorified in his holy people.” Oh, friend - be among those who believe in the Bible's testimony about Jesus Christ. He is the only way to life EVERLASTING.
