Proverbs of a 42 yr old man

The chosen ones. If we ever come to the realization that we are specially chosen, it will change the way we view life and our purpose. Jesus, was the only the begotten, the only Son, the one true Messiah, and the Son of man. He was all that, yet came into this world as a servant. He lived as a humble human submitted to the calling of God. He learned obedience through his suffering, and humbled himself even to the point of death on the Cross. He did this to save the world yes, but for the true sons and daughters of God to be revealed in this world. He was chosen so that we would be chosen. Chosen since before the foundations of the world. Just like the first Adam we were to chosen to walk in garden of God in His Presence. Because of sin and rebellion the image of God was lost in man and its purpose marred. Jesus came to restore that being fully God to restore humanity by his side. Here is the catch though. Jesus saved the world yet he is coming back to condemn the world in judgement. All judgment has been passed to the Son. Jesus is LORD over all creation. He is in all things and everything is for him. He is creating a new heavens and new earth and is looking for the meek to inherit it. This world that has fallen into sin and judgement is passing away and a cleansing eternal fire is prepared for the devil and his angels, and for those who don't want to be the chosen ones. Think about the parable of the wheat and tares Jesus told in Matt. 24-30. When the day of harvest and judgment comes He will separate the wheat from the tares. The chosen ones for the Kingdom of God and then those who hate God brought to an end. There has always been a humanity that has hated God. They don't want nothing to do with his Son or the salvation He brings. They would rather live in a rebellion like the enemy of our souls, than to repent to a God they don't want to believe in. But they have a conscious like every other human being, and have an eternity placed in their hearts by God. They reject the goodness of God because rebellion and sin has seared their conscious.

Based on Romans 2:14-16, Gentiles (those without the written Mosaic Law) are judged by God through their conscience and inner moral compass, which reflects "the work of the law written in their hearts". This means they are "a law to themselves," instinctively knowing right from wrong, with their thoughts accusing or excusing them on judgment day. Amen. Let me give you some good definitions on this-

Universal Accountability: God judges the secrets of all people through Jesus Christ, not just those with written scripture, making conscience the standard for those without the law. Purpose of Conscience: Conscience serves as a witness, causing either accusation (guilt) or defense (excuse) based on actions that align with or violate this internal moral law. Not a Means of Salvation: While this indicates a universal moral standard, the passage emphasizes that conscience makes everyone guilty before God, highlighting the need for grace rather than salvation by innate goodness. No Excuse: Humanity cannot plead total ignorance of God's moral standards. Natural Law: This aligns with the concept that God's moral order is evident in creation and human reason. The "Seared" Conscience: While innate, a conscience can be ignored or "seared," though it still acts as a foundational witness. In that effect they want to become God and hopefully in their next life take his throne. There is a second death where well all die once and then face eternal judgement. For those who realized that they were a chosen humanity rebirthed by the Spirit of Christ. They are and will be seated next to Jesus in this ultimate battle of God versus Satan. It will end with this final battle in Revelation 20. Read it with me as I close..

1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pita and a heavy chain in his hand. 2He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years. 3The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he must be released for a little while.

4Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

5This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.) 6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

7When the thousand years come to an end, Satan will be let out of his prison. 8He will go out to deceive the nations—called Gog and Magog—in every corner of the earth. He will gather them together for battle—a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore. 9And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city. But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them.

10Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

The Final Judgment

11And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. 12I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up its dead, and death and the graveb gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. 14Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. 15And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. Amen.

Now don't get all prophetic and try to figure out the times and seasons. I just want you to realize that you are chosen. You have been rebirthed by God in Christ to live for him as he died for you. Everyone wants to be the golden child and to be all the  powerful God. But those called by Jesus are to be like Him in every way possible but call Him LORD and Savior. Your purpose is to know eternal life who is the Father and the Son. You have been chosen in broken world where the wheat and trees grow together. Soon the chosen ones will plucked for the Kingdom, others to everlasting Hell and destruction. May all His Enemies kneel before they are destroyed forever.
