Admin	God's Dreadful Threatenings.... Posted : 24 May, 2010 12:38 PM His dreadful threatenings! (Thomas Brooks, "Paradise Opened" 1675) Sin and sorrow, iniquity and misery�always go hand in hand. "The wages of sin is death," Romans 6:23. Every sinner is worthy of death. "Those who do such things deserve death," Romans 1:32. If God is a just and righteous God, then sin cannot absolutely escape unpunished; for it is but "a just and righteous thing with God"�to punish the sinner who is worthy of punishment. As God must be just�so He must be faithful. And if He must be faithful�then He must carry out His threatenings against sin and sinners! Look! As there is not a promise of God but shall surely take place; just so, there is not a threatening of God but shall surely take place. The faithfulness of God, and the honor of God, are as much concerned in making good of His dreadful threatenings�as they are concerned in making good of His precious promises. God has given it from His own mouth, that: "He will by no means clear the guilty;" "the soul that sins, shall surely die;" "the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him;" "He will render to every man according to his deeds." Will God abrogate His own laws�or will He dare men to sport and play with His threatenings? Will not every wise and prudent king look to the execution of their own laws? And shall not that God, who is wonderful in wisdom, and whose understanding is infinite�see all that all His laws are put in execution against offenders? Surely yes! "He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them!" Psalm 94:23 "I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will repay you in accordance with your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that it is I the LORD who strikes the blow!" Ezek. 7:9 "When I sharpen My flashing sword and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me." Deuteronomy 32:41 Post Reply

However, you do know that the New Covenant was made with Judah and Israel. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: So do you consider yourself a Jew or Israelite?

Posted : 27 May, 2010 02:59 PM You are right the new covenant was made by God with Israel and Judea and the church is not Israel and Judea but we are under the new covenant because we have been grafted into the tree of salvation so that everyone that believes in Christ and is truly saved is under the new covenant blessing. In Jeremiah where it gives the new covenant there is no remnant but everyone in the new covenant is a true child of God so if Israel does not believe right now they are not under the new covenant but are in the time of the gentiles which will not end till the millennium kingdom when the covenant will be complete. There is no national salvation promised to any people but the Jews. Also the new covenant was initiated at the Lords super. Some passages to look at are Romans 8:9-11, 11:11-36, Acts 10-11:1-18, Hebrews 9:15-22, Luke 20:14-23. Post Reply
