- It is a common error for men to assume that affliction is proof of
- God's judgement. This is refuted by many experiences recorded in
- scripture, including Job, Jeremiah, and others. These men were
- friends of God, and therefore those who hated God and His ways
- attacked them. Their affliction was not an indication of failure,
- but of righteousness. In this world people who do what is right are
- often made to suffer grieveously for their determination to serve
- God. It is not God who makes them suffer, but His enemies.
-
- In addition to this, many times bad things happen to people as a
- result of the curse that is upon the whole earth. As Yeshua said
- when the people wanted to know why a tower fell and killed some men
- in another town, "Unless you repent you shall all likewise perish."
-
- To perish is the common destiny of every human being, unless God
- explicitely intervenes to prevent it. Therefore when people perish
- at the hands of cruel and sadistic men, this is not out of character
- with the world that we live in, or the kind of people that we have
- become since we rebelled against God and sided with His enemy, Satan.
-
- That is why we urge men everywhere to become reconciled to God
- through God's only intermediary with men, Yeshua HaMashiach, who has
- made the way of escape through the torn curtain of his own body. God
- demonstrated that Yeshua was the approved One when God raised him
- from the dead.
-
- Everyone who avoids The Door, who is Yeshua, will remain remain in
- this dark place of judgement, and will perish. I urge you to enter
- into the place of shelter through The Door and receive God's mercy,
- instead of remaining under the cloud of His anger. For God has
- appointed a Day when the whole world will be judged by the man He has
- annointed and given the Name above every other name. In that Day,
- everyone who is approved by Yeshua will enter into honor in the
- presense of the Lord.
-
- Yeshua said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to
- the Father except by me." Today is the day of God's favor; today is
- the day of salvation. Put your trust in Him today while it is still
- the day of mercy. In the day of wrath it will be too late.
