31 For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.
Blogger: God desires neither to punish nor to condemn. This, however, this is written after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC.
He had given repeated warnings to Israel to both behave well by respecting God and to ignore the voices of their wretched false prophets. He had made very clear what the consequences would be for Jerusalem and still they defied Him!
God kept His promise consequently, Jerusalem was invaded and ravaged. That is what God will permit - His promises are never empty threats.
So much for ancient Israel.
Let us consider the Western World today. (Most of the Eastern World is already under the thrall of false religions.)
Our Christian nations have side-lined God in their efforts to please the godless.
Meanwhile, so many of the 'religious leaders and teachers' have decided that their opinions are far more important than anything that God might think. They have polluted the minds of the population and their congregations. Few are those who honour God. Happily, we do have our own remnant.
The ungodly are failing to prepare for the Return of The Lord. Modern society mirrors that time when the fall of Jerusalem was imminent.
Never has society been more polluted.
This Blogger is of the firm belief that the Judgement of God on our world is imminent.
We are not in The End Times - we are at the very last gasp of End Times.
Repent. Repent. Repent!
The time is short! The compassion of God may still be accessed as these verses make very clear.
Find an evangelical church to help you. Give a very wide berth to all of the surrender-monkey churches who defy the Scriptures.
