Revelation 6:12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
The last question in verse 17 is our first challenge of today. “Who is able to stand before the Lamb and the One on the throne in their day of wrath?” Just as surely as God sent the floodwaters on evil during the days of Noah and sent the fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah during the days of Abraham, He will send His wrath on this evil world in the ends of days. In those days, “Who will be able to stand?”
The Creator who created and formed all there is, surely able to cause its destruction as easily as He spoke them into existence. Denying God and that He is the creator does not mean it is so. Denying Christ and His grace, mercy, and love demonstrated on the cross, does not make it so. Denying the need for salvation, redemption, forgiveness, and repentance does not make it so. Denying the end of times and God’s wrath on earth and those who have denied Him does not make it so. So many people choose to believe Satan’s lies and disregard God as a make-believe fairy tale. Their future when they die is an eternity in torment. Their future if they are still alive at the revealing and unleashing of God’s wrath and anger is certainly going to be a living hell until they are consumed by death. At this point, they may have relief from physical pain but they will immediately enter into an eternity of hell and torment.
Now is the day of salvation, redemption, forgiveness, and repentance. Do not intentionally choose to neglect this gift of grace, mercy, and love. Your eternal future rests in this choice right now.
