enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me.

I was in distress, but the Lord supported me.
20 He led me to a place of safety;
He rescued me because He delights in me.

right; He restored me because of my innocence.

3 I, The Lord, have dedicated these
soldiers for this task. Yes, I have called mighty warriors to express
My anger, and they will rejoice when I am exalted.”
4 Hear the noise on the mountains!
Listen, as the vast armies march! It is the noise and shouting of
many nations. The Lord Of Heaven’s Armies has called this army
together.
5 They come from distant countries,
from beyond the farthest horizons. They are The Lord’s weapons to
carry out His anger. With them He will destroy the whole land.
6 Scream in terror, for the day of
The Lord has arrived— the time for
The Almighty to destroy.
7 Every arm is paralyzed with fear.
Every heart melts,
8 and people are terrified. Pangs of
anguish grip them, like those of a woman in labor. They look
helplessly at one another, their faces aflame with fear.
9 For see, the day of The Lord is
coming— the terrible day of His fury and fierce anger. The land
will be made desolate, and all the sinners destroyed with it.
10 The heavens will be black above
them; the stars will give no light.

and the moon will provide no light.

world for its evil and the wicked for their sin. I will crush the

when The Lord Of Heaven’s Armies
displays His wrath in the day of His fierce anger.”

displays His power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing
clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

and the rivers disappear. The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel
fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wither.

quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people
are destroyed.

anger? Who can survive His burning fury?His rage blazes forth like

19:11-21 KJV
11 And I saw heaven opened, and
behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful
and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire,
and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no
man knew, but He Himself.
13 And He was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word Of God.
14 And the armies which were in
heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white
and clean.
15 And out of His mouth goeth a
sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall
rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And He hath on His vesture and on
His thigh a name written,
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in
the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that
fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto
the supper of The Great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of
kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and
the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of
all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war
against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with
him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire
burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with
the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out
of His mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

determine if we will eternally be, in His wrath, or His love.
Joshua 24:15 KJV
(Joshua)
And if it seem evil unto you to
serve The Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the
gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the
flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as
for me and my house, we will serve The Lord.
God's Call
John 3:16-18 KJV
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting Life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
saved.
18 He that believeth on Him
is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of
God.
Romans 5:6-10
KJV
6 For when we were yet without
strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to
die.
8 But God commendeth His love toward
us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now
justified by His Blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by His Life.
In God's love and
mercy, or in the place of His wrath, the choice is ours.
Almost
Persuaded
“Almost
persuaded” now to believe;
“Almost
persuaded” Christ to receive;
Seems now some
soul to say,
“Go, Spirit, go
Thy way,
Some more
convenient day
On Thee I’ll
call.”
“Almost
persuaded,” come, come today;
“Almost
persuaded,” turn not away;
Jesus invites you
here,
Angels are
ling’ring near,
Prayers rise from
hearts so dear;
O wand’rer,
come!
“Almost
persuaded,” harvest is past!
“Almost
persuaded,” doom comes at last!
“Almost” cannot
avail;
“Almost” is but
to fail!
Sad, sad, that
bitter wail—
Almost,” but
lost!
