The Terrible Day of the Lord

After receiving Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World by Eric Metaxas, Joyce and I went out to see Revolutionary America on its last night in theaters, featuring an interview with Eric Metaxas. 

One of the themes of the film was how much our forebears suffered so that we could live under "the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God," rights that should never be taken away because they’re given to us by the Lord. Some of those winters in tents without shoes (because they ate them when the dogs were gone) must have felt like the terrible day of the Lord! Yet the final judgement will be far worse for those who aren’t trusting in Jesus Christ to save them from their sins. 

The other day we were walking down the sidewalk and heard behind us, “Be 100% certain you’ll spend eternity in Heaven.” I thought someone was witnessing, until the young man explained to the young woman he was walking with that the phrase was on a bus that then crossed in front of us. They went on to mock it. It’s probably good I didn’t think of it at the time, because I think what they needed was the prayer I was prompted to send up for them, but it occurred to me that to mock Salvation they must have confidence that there’s nothing after this life, that everyone gets into Heaven, or that hell isn’t really all that bad. 

Better to have confidence in the only One who can save you from the terrible day of the Lord’s judgment: www.RichDrama.com/blog/post/MyPassion.

Great to see Ian Anthony Reid directed Revolutionary America! He was cinematographer and editor of The Screenwriters.

 ‎ אָהֵב [ʾāhēb] v. 

174/202 

They will spread them out to the sun, the moon and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved and which they have served, and which they have gone after and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or buried; they will be as dung on the face of the ground.

— Jeremiah 8:2 NAS95

We certainly deserve the Lord’s judgment. 

Lord, we’ve rededicated our nation to You. Bring revival, awakening, and reformation that will forestall Your judgment and make Heaven crowded!
