The Strength of the Lord is insurmountable
The wicked think the Lord is weak
God has a tremendous amount of patience
Which can be misunderstood for weakness
His judgments can be a long time coming or they can be very swift
Even Christians have mockingly said,
Oh, every generation thinks the Lord is going to return
Wicked servants not discerning the times
The virgins who fell asleep
The servant who beat his fellow servants
because he thought his Lord was afar off
They all are deceived, even those who call themselves
by the name of the Lord
God’s timing is not like ours
He knows the future
The future is found in His word
Not everyone can discern the times
Daniel 12:10…none of the wicked shall understand
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried;
but the wicked shall do wickedly:
and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
He is just and will pay each one of us for our deeds
He will also judge the nations
Those who trust in Him will not be ashamed
Those who mock Him will be repaid
God will not be mocked
Arrogance against God is tiring
And if we’re tired of it, that is we, His people,
how much more do their sins add up against the Earth for their wickedness
for when He pours out His wrath on the Earth
The Day of the Lord is coming for all to see
Those of us who may see God’s Judgment upon the Earth,
remember, God’s Judgments are righteous and true
And I heard another out of the altar say,
Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
Revelation 19:2
Additional Scriptures:
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward,
whom his lord shall make ruler over his household,
to give them their portion of meat in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
But and if that servant say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his coming;
and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens,
and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him,
and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself,
neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes,
shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:
and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. Luke 12:42-48
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise,
Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying,
Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you:
but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came;
and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage:
and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 25:1-13
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Ecclesiastes 12:14
