Yet when Jesus the Prince of Peace came into our world thru the legal door, thru the womb of the virgin Mary, he clearly spoke that this world hates him (The Prince of Life). That in itself shouts a horrendous truth that this world is in serious trouble (lost & blind) and though the world is living in the light of the sunlight yet are they spiritually blind and in the dark in the heart where the spirit lives. As it is written of Jesus in Johns gospel that,... All things were made by Jesus Christ and without Him the Father made nothing...And the world was made by Him but the world knew Him not (John 1:1-14)... Yet in this demonic darkness that has blinded the world comes these scriptures fulfilled,.....They (the blind) hated Jesus (Our Maker) without a cause.....and.....had the rulers of this world not been blind they would not have crucified the Lord of glory (1 Corinthians 2:8)....
........But they did crucify him and in their blindness not only did they nail him to the cross, but the hate of Satan in their heart moved them to rip Christ flesh apart with the whips of Satans rage against God, even to the degree that the prophet Isaiah in his foresight of the sufferings of the Christ said,......he was beaten, wounded, and punished so severely that he was disfigured beyond human recognition (Isaiah 52:13-15 & Isaiah 53:3-6).
Friends the picture of these words above are gruesome but nonetheless they speak a glaring message loud and clear of this worlds horrible spiritual blind condition and of the hidden danger zone that men of all nations trod upon every day with their hearts and understanding over powered by deceptions of all sorts. For since the world in blindness and in its love for darkness and the things of darkness can lift their heel against the Lord (Their Maker) to abuse Him so, what shall come upon their own heads in the day that God fulfills the scripture that He promised to His Son, He said to Jesus after He raised him from the pains of death, God said,.....Come now My Son and sit at My right hand until I make all YOUR ENEMIES your foot stool (Hebrews 1:8-13).
In that day FOOTSTOOL MAKING DAY, the scriptures say that Christ enemies see God in the heavens as the heavens are opened enabling them to see, and they cry aloud in terror and exceeding great fright at the sight of God saying,......Mountains fall upon us and hide us from the face of He that sits upon the Throne (Revelations 6:12-17).
For us who believe and belong to Christ in that day Jesus comes with healing in his wings and we are caught up to be with the Lord and we are changed into His eternal likeness in all things and such truth is praise worthy & trust worthy. God is filled with covenant love and great power and might to do so. But to the world of people who never overcame the darkness of this world and steadfastly hated and resisted and opposed the Lord and His name and gospel thru-out the centuries and generation not knowing Him, they shall suffer the loss of life, freedom, peace, and of soul having never escaped Satans deceiving and intellectual wit power over their heart and over their natural reasoning's.
It will be a day of vengeance, of GREAT DIVIDE, and of fervent heat spawning from the wrath of God violently poured out upon them without mercy nor restraint who loved not His Son that they might be saved. In that day, as it was in the day God kept Israel in His covenant love untouched by His wrath poured out upon Egypt who resisted His warnings sent by Moses, so shall the redeemed be kept fully safe when God pours out His wrath upon the world for hating His Son and for counting the blood of His Cross as worthless. They do so because they are deceived and blind (2 Corinthians 4:3-6).
In our text Jesus said,...Think not that I have come to bring peace upon the world, but I have brought a sword. This sword shall DIVIDE families, best friends, towns, cities, nations. Friends that sword is a message, it is the DIVINE TRUTH, of THE ONE TRUE LIGHT that God and all of heavens host will not nor cannot COMPROMISE and that truth is that God sent into the world His Son Jesus Christ by whom He made the worlds, to be the Savior of the world.
(Not all believe this truth and therein the sword that unites and yet also greatly divides is revealed). And that uncompromising message, gospel, light, and heavens uncompromising stand concerning the fact that God sent into the world HIS SON, is what causes all hell to break forth and all darkness to rise up on earth in the end of the age and then because of that great darkness and the worlds praise of the AntiChrist, Jesus rains upon them the fire and brimstone from God who is far above all.
Friends the gospel of Jesus Christ is the sword that unites all of heaven, and yet also causes the greatest division on earth. To those who believe we are united by our faith in the light of Jesus Christ in the covenant of everlasting peace with God thru faith in Christ precious redeeming blood. To us Jesus is dear and to us who believe everything about Him is precious. But to the blind and the unbelieving that exalt lies, theories, illusions in and of so called science, and of presumptions, and false prophets of religions not of heaven but of fallen angels who fell from heaven and imitate the Divine and divine things only to execute their further deception of the world; they shall suffer the vengeance of that great Sword of truth that saves those that believe it and cuts asunder those who stiffen themselves against it.
Jesus even said, that the Sword He brings upon the world is of such power and of such weighty power that upon those it falls on in the end, it shall crush them to powder....As it is written in Matthew 20:17-18..Jesus speaking of the Sword he brings upon the world...He said,.....and looking at them straight in the face Jesus said......What is this that is written, The Stone which the builders rejected, the same (STONE) has become the head of the corner. 18) Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whom this STONE falls, it will grind them to powder.
Friends such words should cause all men to enter alarm measures. Such words above are manifestations of the kind of violence of the wrath of God that shall fall upon those who did not accept GODS PEACE OFFERING OF HIS SON, but instead they spit at His Son in the rejection of unbelief. So for their scoffing at His Sons tears, redeeming blood, and for their mocking of his great vexations that he endured to redeem the world thru the cross, their misery is sealed by the unfailing word of God as endless. As it is also written,....and the smoke of their torment ceases not forever....scroll down.
