Now let's deal with those who do not choose to
love God but reject Him in favor of sin and self.
John 8:44 ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Romans 1:25 who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. I will not pretend to know the mind of God or the eventual end of those who choose to
reject the truth and would rather believe the lie. They are so lost in their lust and desire of sin they
give their allegiance to Satan and forsake their creator. But I do know that when dealing with a sovereign
God, who spoke all of creation into being, who is man to think he has the right to tell God what He can and
cannot do? What I can tell you is that God has made it perfectly clear what he will do with those who reject
Him and His plan for humanity. But you will have to wait for Part #3 to find that out where I will explain
what I believe will happen. Romans 14:11 for it is written, as I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess to God.  Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness,
and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. God has not told us all His mysteries, but has told us everything we need to know and only
He knows the end of all things. He will do what pleases Him and all the audacity and impudence we can muster
will not alter the end. Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one
vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?  Who of us can guarantee with 100% accuracy that we will be alive tomorrow? Is there anyone
of us who has been promised we will still be alive when the sun rises? With close to two and a half million
deaths per year in the United States and close to 100,000 of those deaths caused by accidents from falls to
car crashes how can you and I think we are in control of our destiny? Were any of the thousands of people
in the twin towers in New York City on September 11th in control of their destinies? There is a bottom line
here and many of you, maybe millions, will reject it and even laugh at it but it will not matter in the end
what you reject now because there will be a judgment day. How do I know there will be a judgment day you ask? I am so glad you asked! We have God's word on this: Because of His omniscience God alone
can foreknow and foretell the future with unerring accuracy and He chose to do so in the pages of His
prophetic word. Justin Martyr overwhelmed by this fact said: "To declare a thing shall come to pass long
before it is in being, and to bring it to pass, this or nothing is the work of God. Isaiah 46:9-10 KJV 9Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there
is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet
done, saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:  Close to one fourth of the Bible is prophecy, a great deal of it fulfilled but not all,
but all shall be in God's time. There are over three hundred prophecies of the coming of Christ. I won't
list all three hundred for that would become very time consuming. If you would care to view them they can
all be found in the Bible and in several other books that have been published. I would recommend "All the
Messianic Prophecies of the Bible," by Mr. Herbert Lockyer. I have chosen the prophecies of the coming Messiah from the Old Testament because to
enumerate all the prophecies about and from God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the angels, the devil, the
saints, the Jews, the gentile nations and the church would be an undertaking much too difficult and
time consuming for this writer. I have been told that for one man to have fulfilled ten Old Testament
prophecies, some dating back almost four thousand years, would be an astronomical figure. Not being a
mathematician I cannot even imagine what over three hundred prophecies being fulfilled by one man
would figure out to be in mathematical terms. Yet one man did fulfill all the prophecies about His coming, Jesus Christ the Messiah,
the king of the Jewish people, the promised redeemer, the Impossible King. With the first advent of the
Christ we find the most compelling evidence of the validity of the Bible for who but God can write history
before it happens and then make everything happen just as He has written it hundreds to thousands of
years in the past. Bob Goulding © October 2007 Go to:
