31 The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth
because the LORD brings a case against the nations.
He enters into judgment with all flesh.
As for the wicked, He hands them over to the sword—
[This is] the LORD’s declaration.
Also 1 Thessalonians 1:6-9; Zephaniah 3:8; Jude 14, 15; Revelation 6:15-17; Revelation 14:19, 20; Jeremiah 25:30-33; Zechariah 14:3, 12; Ezekiel 38:18-22; Zephaniah 1:14-18.
1 Thessalonians 1:6-9 6 and you became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message with the joy from the Holy Spirit. 7 As a result, you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 For the Lord’s message rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out, so we don’t need to say anything. 9 For they themselves report about us what kind of reception we had from you: how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
Zephaniah 3:8
8 Therefore, wait for Me —
the LORD’s declaration—
until the day I rise up for plunder.
For My decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out My indignation on them,
all My burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of My jealousy.
Jude 1:14-15 14 And Enoch, in the seventh [generation] from Adam, prophesied about them: Look! The Lord comes with thousands of His holy ones 15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict them
of all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way,
and of all the harsh things ungodly sinners
have said against Him.
Revelation 6:15-17 15 Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of Their wrath has come! And who is able to stand?”
Revelation 14:19-2019 So the angel swung his sickle toward earth and gathered the grapes from earth’s vineyard, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20 Then the press was trampled outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press up to the horses’ bridles for about 180 miles.
Jeremiah 25:30-33 Judgment on the Whole World
30 “As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:
The LORD roars from on high;
He raises His voice from His holy dwelling.
He roars loudly over His grazing land;
He calls out with a shout, like those who tread [grapes],
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth
because the LORD brings a case against the nations.
He enters into judgment with all flesh.
As for the wicked, He hands them over to the sword—
[This is] the LORD’s declaration.
32 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says:
Pay attention! Disaster goes forth
from nation to nation.
A great storm is stirred up
from the ends of the earth.”
33 Those slain by the LORD on that day will be [spread] from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like manure on the surface of the ground.
Zechariah 14:3 3 Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations as He fights on a day of battle.
Zechariah 14:12 12 This will be the plague the LORD strikes all the peoples with, who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
Ezekiel 38:18-22 18 Now on that day, the day when Gog comes against the land of Israel”—[this is] the declaration of the Lord GOD —”My wrath will flare up. 19 I swear in My zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, every creature that crawls on the ground, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble before Me. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains”—the declaration of the Lord GOD —”and every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone on him, as well as his troops and the many peoples who are with him.
Zephaniah 1:14-18
14 The great Day of the LORD is near,
near and rapidly approaching.
Listen, the Day of the LORD—
there the warrior’s cry is bitter.
15 That day is a day of wrath,
a day of trouble and distress,
a day of destruction and desolation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness,
16 a day of trumpet [blast] and battle cry
against the fortified cities,
and against the high corner towers.
17 I will bring distress on mankind,
and they will walk like the blind
because they have sinned against the LORD.
Their blood will be poured out like dust
and their flesh like dung.
18 Their silver and their gold
will not be able to rescue them
on the day of the LORD’s wrath.
The whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of His jealousy.
For He will make a complete,
yes, a horrifying end
of all the inhabitants of the earth.
And why is it necessary? It is so Father can magnify Her name and clear it of the reproach Dawn placed on it early on: Ezekiel 38:23; Psalm 74:10, 18.
Ezekiel 38:23 23 I will display My greatness and holiness, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
Psalm 74:10 10 God, how long will the foe mock?
Will the enemy insult Your name forever?
Psalm 74:18 18 Remember this: the enemy has mocked the LORD,
and a foolish people has insulted Your name.
Yet, there are those that think Father will not prove Her righteousness as the Sovereign Creator, and Her unquestionable right to rule; but Father says different: Psalm 83:17, 18; Daniel 2:44; Isaiah 46:8-11.
Psalm 83:17-18
17 Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;
let them perish in disgrace
18 May they know that You alone—
whose name is Yahweh—
are the Most High over all the earth.
Daniel 2:44 44 “In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.
Isaiah 46:8-11
8 “Remember this and be brave;
take it to heart, you transgressors!
9 Remember what happened long ago,
for I am God, and there is no other;
[I am]God, and no one is like Me.
10 I declare the end from the beginning,
and from long ago what is not yet done,
saying: My plan will take place,
and I will do all My will.
11 I call a bird of prey from the east,
a man for My purpose from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring it about.
I have planned it; I will also do it.
Father’s holy angels will destroy entrenched opposition to Her Son’s Kingdom: Psalm 2:2-9; Revelation 17:14-14; Revelation 19:11-19.
Psalm 2:2-9
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers conspire together
against the LORD and His Anointed One:
3 “Let us tear off their chains
and free ourselves from their restraints.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord ridicules them.
5 Then He speaks to them in His anger
and terrifies them in His wrath:
6 “I have consecrated My King
on Zion, My holy mountain.”
7 I will declare the LORD’s decree:
He said to Me, “You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.
8 Ask of Me,
and I will make the nations Your inheritance
and the ends of the earth Your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron;
You will shatter them like pottery.”
Revelation 17:14 14 These will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those with him are called and elect and faithful.”
Revelation 19:11-19 The Rider on a White Horse
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knows except Himself. 13 He wore a robe stained with blood, and His name is called the Word of God. 14 The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. 15 From His mouth came a sharp sword, so that with it He might strike the nations. He will shepherd them with an iron scepter. He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
The Beast and His Armies Defeated
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.”
19 Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and against His army.
Father’s holy angelic forces will clear wickedness from this planet to pave the way for a righteous new Kingdom rule by Her Son Christ Jesus: Psalm 37:10, 11; Proverbs 2:21, 22; Psalm 145:20; Isaiah 11:1-4.
Psalm 37:10-11
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.
11 But the humble will inherit the land
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.
Proverbs 2:21-22
21 For the upright will inhabit the land,
and those of integrity will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the treacherous uprooted from it.
Psalm 145:20
20 The LORD guards all those who love Him,
but He destroys all the wicked.
Isaiah 11:1-4
Isaiah 11
Reign of the Davidic King
1 Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him —
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
3 His delight will be in the fear of the LORD.
He will not judge
by what He sees with His eyes,
He will not execute justice
by what He hears with His ears,
4 but He will judge the poor righteously
and execute justice for the oppressed of the land.
He will strike the land
with discipline from His mouth,
and He will kill the wicked
with a command from His lips.
The love of Father is not violated by the execution of the wicked: Ezekiel 18:23; Romans 9:22; 2 Peter 3:9; Psalm 37:28; Luke 18:7, 8.
Ezekiel 18:23 23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” [This is] the declaration of the Lord GOD . “Instead, don’t I [take pleasure] when he turns from his ways and lives?
Romans 9:22 22 And what if God, desiring to display His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience objects of wrath ready for destruction?
2 Peter 3:9 9 The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
Psalm 37:28
28 For the LORD loves justice
and will not abandon His faithful ones.
They are kept safe forever,
but the children of the wicked will be destroyed.
Luke 18:7 7 Will not God grant justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [to help] them?
Luke 18:8 8 I tell you that He will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find that faith on earth?”
When will Armageddon – the war of Father’s wrath come? Matthew 24:34-44.
Matthew 24:34-44 34 I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
No One Knows the Day or Hour
36 “Now concerning that day and hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son —except the Father only. 37 As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark. 39 They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be: 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this: If the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into. 44 This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
It comes suddenly and unexpectedly to the wicked because they do not adhere to the Signs like Diana Akroyd has revealed in her companion to the Word: 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 3; 2 Peter 3:10; Luke 21:34, 35; Revelation 16:15; Proverbs 6:12-15. 1
Thessalonians 5:2 2 For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 3 When they say, “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
2 Peter 3:10 10 But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that [day] the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.
Luke 21:34 The Need for Watchfulness
34 “Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly
Luke 21:35 35 like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth.
Revelation 16:15 15 “Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who is alert and remains clothed so that he may not go naked, and they see his shame.”
Proverbs 6:12-15
The Malicious Man
12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
who goes around speaking dishonestly,
13 who winks his eyes, signals with his feet,
and gestures with his fingers,
14 who plots evil with perversity in his heart—
he stirs up trouble constantly.
15 Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly;
he will be shattered instantly—beyond recovery.
This all follows the Rapture and the Earth-wide warning being given out at this time: Matthew 24:14.
Matthew 24:14 14 This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end will come.
How can you survive? Zephaniah 2:2, 3; Joel 2:32; Psalm 145:20; Psalm 2:11, 12; John 3:16; Romans 5:9, 10; Ecclesiastes 7:12; Romans 10:10; Matthew 10:22.
Zephaniah 2:2-3
2 before the decree takes effect
and the day passes like chaff,
before the burning of the LORD’s anger overtakes you,
before the day of the LORD’s anger overtakes you.
3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth,
who carry out what He commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be concealed
on the day of the LORD’s anger.
Joel 2:32
32 Then everyone who calls
on the name of Yahweh will be saved,
for there will be an escape
for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
as the LORD promised,
among the survivors the LORD calls.
Psalm 145:20
20 The LORD guards all those who love Him,
but He destroys all the wicked.
Psalm 2:11
11 Serve the LORD with reverential awe,
and rejoice with trembling.
Psalm 2:12
12 Pay homage to the Son, or He will be angry,
and you will perish in your rebellion,
for His anger may ignite at any moment.
All those who take refuge in Him are happy.
John 3:16 16 “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 5:9 9 Much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath.
Romans 5:10 10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, [then how] much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life!
Ecclesiastes 7:12
12 For wisdom is protection as money is protection,
and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
Romans 10:10 10 With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
Matthew 10:22 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.
So, if the skeptics are wrong on a single count, then you’d better consider they have gone astray on all others, so I won’t bother addressing the rest of his/their invalid assumptions and claims that he/they make without a true knowledge of the Word and Father’s Will.
