Who’s Gonna Tell the Fool He’s Hell-Bent and Hidebound?

Excerpt From Newsletter

Those of you who understand a bit about the parabolic imagery of the Scriptures already know the fires of Hell are just a parabolic image that depicts the horrifying wrath of God. The Wicked don’t know anything at all about that because they refuse to believe God could ever be angry with them. Instead they go on ignorantly proclaiming the unconditional love of God for all His Children. Can you believe it? Satan actually has unregenerate sinners believing they are a part of God’s family! Consequently, they fail to understand what Malachi said about God sparing none but His Own Son in the great day of His wrath:

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord gave attention and heard {it,} and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who esteem His name. “And they will be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I prepare {My} own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear My name the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. And you will tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing,” says the Lord of hosts.
(Malachi 3:16–4:3)

Did you see that Malachi mentioned all the same things that Jesus did in His parable? That’s because Jesus had in mind the same events that Malachi describes. Jesus plainly said He was describing events that would occur “at the end of the age.” He was talking about events that immediately precede the Return of Jesus Christ. Everybody knows conservative “Christians” believe the Second Coming is imminent. So I’m not saying anything new. I’m just echoing generally held beliefs. If you believe these are the Last Days, however, you really should begin to make sure you are ready for what lies ahead.
