Before the Decree Takes Effect
Our God is a righteous King, a merciful Savior and a Loving Advisor. The Almighty mentors from a vast community of Angels and Saints; His Living Words prevail and are a Trustworthy means of communication. Register your Body and commit your Soul to living in the Light-of-Christ where a multitude of survivors exist. Folks that unite in Truth abide in God’s word. Besides reciting scripture our Counselor is adamant that we Live its True-Living-Ways.
God’s word is a way of Life; triumphant are those who realize their collective fortunes through Christ. Jesus came into being for the Salvation of all Creation. This is especially true for humanity, whether folks realize God’s Son can redeem any Fallen-Spirit or not, He is always there for everyone. Truth is that today’s message is channeled via a Repentant-Sinner for God wouldn’t have it transferred any other way.
Gather together, gather yourselves together, you shameful nation, before the decree takes effect and that day passes like windblown chaff, before the LORD’s fierce anger comes upon you, before the day of the LORD’s wrath comes upon you. Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger. Gaza will be abandoned and Ashkelon left in ruins. At midday Ashdod will be emptied and Ekron uprooted.
Woe to you who live by the sea, you Kerethite people; the word of the LORD is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, “I will destroy you, and none will be left.” The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.
That land will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah; there they will find pasture. In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The LORD their God will care for them; he will restore their fortunes. “I have heard the insults of Moab and the taunts of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and made threats against their land.
Therefore, as surely as I live,” declares the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, “surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah— a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.” This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty. The LORD will be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands. (Zephaniah 2:1-11 NLT)
There is humbled Remnants-of-Divinity in every land. Traces of windblown shaft exist among the Holy servants of God; repentant sinners proclaim His glorious name, their shelter on Earth is a Sanctuary-for-Saints. Their fortunes fill the Heavens, but their sorrows inherit the land from which they sow.
