“The Final Warning!”
See to it
that you do not refuse Him who speaks.
If they did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth,
how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns from heaven? At that time His voice shook the earth, but
now He has promised, “once more I will shake not only the earth but also the
heavens.” The words “once more” indicate
the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things---so that what
cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore,
since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and
so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming
fire.” Hebrews 12:25-29
How POWERFUL
is our God! The One who issued a WARNING
to those of Moses’ time, those of the Old Covenant, who had gathered at the
foot of Mt. Sinai, where the Old Covenant was given. Exodus 19:18 gives us a picture of what
happened: “Mount Sinai was covered with
smoke, because the LORD came down on it in fire. The smoke rose from the mountain like smoke
from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook wildly.”
Since those
who REJECTED the Old Covenant did NOT ESCAPE God’s hand, how could those of the
New Covenant who REJECT or TURN AWAY from the New Covenant expect to
ESCAPE? They won’t.
At the time
the Old Covenant was given, the people gathered at the foot of the mountain,
the mountain was covered with smoke, and it SHOOK WILDLY. At the time of His voice, the EARTH SHOOK,
and the people trembled with fear. Even
still, some rejected the Old Covenant, and perished.
God promises
to once more, shake the EARTH, but not just the EARTH, but the HEAVENS too. This will take place after the millennial
kingdom of Christ, at the remaking of the heavens and earth, and what remains
will be ETERNAL.
We who are of
the New Covenant of Christ, and have NOT REJECTED Him, should be THANKFUL we
have a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. We
should WORSHIP God in ways that will PLEASE Him, with RESPECT, REVERENCE, and
AWE. OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE!
This WARNING
could be your FINAL WARNING, if you have
NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are REJECTING His New Covenant, and His Son, Jesus Christ,
the Mediator of that New Covenant. He is
your ONLY way to Heaven. You MUST come
to God with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING your sins to Him, and asking Him
for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU,
and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT
His gift of SALVATION, and ESCAPE the ETERNAL, HORRORS of HELL. Do it NOW, while you still can. He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
