‘In the land, there is no Truth, mercy or knowledge of God.
By swearing, lying, killing, stealing and committing adultery,
All restraints are broken, with bloodshed upon bloodshed.
Therefore the land mourns. People and animals are wasting away.’
(Hosea 4:1-3)
Friends, does the above quote adequately capture,
Your perception of life in our world today?
On this perception do you agree and concur,
Or do you chose these words …to downplay?
This quote was penned by a writer who lived long ago,
But the words he wrote were not his own.
They’re the words of someone who was really ‘in the know’.
They came directly from The Lord’s Throne.
The quote above is His legal indictment,
Charges against ancient Israel,
Condemning their behaviors, so aberrant,
And toward Him being dismissal.
It seems over the ages of man’s development,
Not that much has changed at all from The Lord’s viewpoint.
Hey! If words He spoke then capture our predicament,
Might His response then be to us what He’ll appoint??
God backed up His Law with Revelation of Who He is.
He sent Jesus to fulfill it all, not water it down.
Thinking some of His traits, Grace successfully erases,
On some of His revelations, many of us now frown.
To Jeremiah He declared His three-point strategy,
To Ezekiel, He said to those who always act sinfully,
He applies four judgment tactics selectively. 2
Though in this era of His Church,
We tend to focus only on His Grace, amazing,
And forget His aspects that hurt,
Namely judgments for un-repented sins, amassing. 3
While to saints and sinners alike, Grace He extends,
To true saints, it’s never ending, eternal.
But when we stray on a dark pathway that offends,
In Love, He sends chastisements, correctional.
But to sinners, yet un-redeemed in Christ,
It’s a completely different story!!
As to not repent for sins, they’re enticed,
In harsh judgments, their lives …become stormy.
Let’s pause and review a few hurtful Truths,
From God Almighty and His Son, Jesus.
Though inconvenient to many fake views,
Ponder: Why are these Truths revealed to us??
All souls are Mine. (Ezekiel 18:4)
The Lord kills and makes alive. (1 Samuel 2:6)
I kill and make alive; I wound and I heal. (Deuteronomy 32:39)
If there is a calamity in a land, will I not have caused it? (Amos 3:6)
I make peace and create calamity; I, The Lord, do all these things.
(Isaiah 45:7, Psalm 46:9)
Following My Millennial Reign, on Earth once again,
I’ll release satan and his crew. (Revelation 20:3, 7)
To lessen or eliminate impacts such Truths have on you,
Concern yourself with that with which He is concerned.
Get into His Bible. It’s there He will show you what to do.
As you do, what He calls, ‘righteousness’, you will learn. 4
Embrace His Truth, and escape the inconveniences of lies…

3 Chastisements for His true (not fake) saints, and judgments for …the aint’s. He calls saints those who repent, embrace Jesus as Savior, and continually grow in the Grace and knowledge of, and in relationship with Him until their end, not those who start, but fail to complete this quite challenging course. Revelation 3:14-22 reveals the outcome for this latter group of …fake saints. Yep, just like everything else, there really are fake Christians. Only He knows them by name.
