All we can do is to wait in fear for God to judge. His blazing fire will burn up his enemies.

By God’s word the heavens and earth of today are being reserved for fire. They are being kept for the day when God will judge. Then ungodly people will be destroyed.

It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God. And since it begins with us, what will happen to people who don’t obey God’s good news?

Bring your great anger against the nations that don’t pay any attention to you. Bring it against the kingdoms that don’t worship you.

The devil had caused them to believe lies. He was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. That is where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will all suffer day and night for ever and ever.

“ Then he will say to those on his left,‘ You are cursed! Go away from me into the fire that burns forever. It has been prepared for the devil and his angels.

Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything done in it.So everything will be destroyed in this way. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.Live like this as you look forward to the day of God. Living like this will make the day come more quickly. On that day fire will destroy the heavens. Its heat will melt everything in them.

God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends.But there are others who only look out for themselves. They don’t accept the truth. They go astray. God will pour out his great anger on them.

At one time you didn’t know God. You were slaves to gods that are really not gods at all.

Our“ God is like a fire that burns everything up.”( Deuteronomy 4:24)

And you can be just as sure that I will sharpen my flashing sword. My hand will hold it when I judge. I will get even with my enemies. I will pay back those who hate me.I will make my arrows drip with blood. My sword will destroy people. It will kill some. It will even kill prisoners. It will cut off the heads of enemy leaders.”

From Zion, perfect and beautiful, God’s glory shines out.Our God comes, and he won’t be silent. A burning fire goes ahead of him. A terrible storm is all around him.He calls out to heaven and earth to be his witnesses. Then he judges his people.He says,“ Gather this holy people around me. They made a covenant with me by offering a sacrifice.”The heavens announce that what God decides is right. That’s because he is a God of justice.

Then how will we escape if we don’t pay attention to God’s great salvation? The Lord first announced this salvation. Those who heard him gave us the message about it.

Here is the judgment. Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil.

At that time I stood between the Lord and you. I announced to you the Lord’ s message. I did it because you were afraid of the fire. You didn’t go up the mountain. The Lord said,

All the things I’ve told you about might happen to you. And you will be in trouble. But later you will return to the Lord your God. You will obey him.

When their twigs are dry, they will be broken off. Then women will come and make fires with them. The people of Jacob don’t understand the Lord. So the God who made them won’t be concerned about them. Their Creator won’t be kind to them.

I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies. The year for me to set my people free had come.I looked around, but no one was there to help me. I was shocked that no one gave me any help. So I used my own power to save my people. I had the strength to do it because I was angry.I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them. I made them drink from the cup of my great anger. I poured out their blood on the ground.”

I will destroy those who stop following the Lord. They no longer look to him or ask him for advice.

“ Then they will go away to be punished forever. But those who have done what is right will receive eternal life.”

The Lord God drove him out and then placed angels on the east side of the garden. He also placed there a flaming sword that flashed back and forth. The angels and the sword guarded the way to the tree of life.

They called out in a loud voice.“ How long, Lord and King, holy and true?” they asked.“ How long will you wait to judge those who live on the earth? How long will it be until you pay them back for killing us?”

We know the God who said,“ I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back.”( Deuteronomy 32:35) Scripture also says,“ The Lord will judge his people.”( Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14)

They called out to the mountains and rocks,“ Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne! Hide us from the anger of the Lamb!The great day of their anger has come. Who can live through it?”

You, the king, will capture all your enemies. Your right hand will take hold of them.When you appear for battle, you will burn them up like they were in a flaming furnace. The Lord will swallow them up in his great anger. His fire will burn them up.

They didn’t think it was important to know God. So God let them continue to have evil thoughts. They did things they shouldn’t do.

The Lord is a God who punishes. Since you are the one who punishes, come and show your anger.

Don’t you know that when you give yourselves to obey someone you become that person’s slave? If you are slaves of sin, then you will die. But if you are slaves who obey God, then you will live a godly life.

You will break them with an iron scepter. You will smash them to pieces like clay pots.”Kings, be wise! Rulers of the earth, be warned!Serve the Lord and have respect for him. Celebrate his rule with trembling.Obey the son completely, or he will be angry. Your way of life will lead to your death. His anger can blaze out at any moment. Blessed are all those who go to him for safety.

I punish people. I will pay them back. The time will come when their feet will slip. Their day of trouble is near. Very soon they will be destroyed.”

But others will be thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Those who are afraid and those who do not believe will be there. Murderers and those who make themselves impure will join them. Those who commit sexual sins and those who practice witchcraft will go there. Those who worship statues of gods and all who tell lies will be there too. The lake of fire is the second death.”

A river of fire was flowing. It was coming out from in front of God. Thousands and thousands of angels served him. Millions of them stood in front of him. The court was seated. And the books were opened.

So God’s word spread. The number of believers in Jerusalem grew quickly. Also, a large number of priests began to obey Jesus’ teachings.

But you have to be willing to change and obey me. If you are, you will eat the good things that grow on the land.

People from other lands bow down to me in fear. As soon as they hear me, they obey me.

In this way he was made perfect. Eternal salvation comes from him. He saves all those who obey him.

You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain. It blazed with fire that reached as high as the very heavens. There were black clouds and deep darkness.

Abraham had faith. So he obeyed God. God called him to go to a place he would later receive as his own. So he went. He did it even though he didn’t know where he was going.

He has sent me to announce the year when he will set his people free. He wants me to announce the day when he will pay his enemies back. Our God has sent me to comfort all those who are sad.

We received grace because of what Jesus did. He made us apostles to the Gentiles. We must invite all of them to obey God by trusting in Jesus. We do this to bring glory to him.

Then they asked him,“ Where is your father?”“ You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied.“ If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

The mystery has now been made known through the writings of the prophets. The eternal God commanded that it be made known. God wanted all the Gentiles to obey him by trusting in him.

Don’t desire to commit sexual sins like people who don’t know God.

Lord, those who know you will trust in you. You have never deserted those who look to you.

I will speak about what Christ has done through me. I won’t try to speak about anything else. He has been leading the Gentiles to obey God. He has been doing this by what I have said and done.

You foolish people of Galatia! Who has put you under an evil spell? When I preached, I clearly showed you that Jesus Christ had been nailed to the cross.

Sarah was like that. She obeyed Abraham. She called him her master. Do you want to be like her? Then do what is right. And don’t give in to fear.

But not all the people of Israel accepted the good news. Isaiah says,“ Lord, who has believed our message?”( Isaiah 53:1)

Eli’s sons were good for nothing. They didn’t honor the Lord.

You have been chosen in keeping with what God the Father had planned. That happened through the Spirit’s work to make you pure and holy. God chose you so that you might obey Jesus Christ. God wanted you to be in a covenant relationship with him. He established this relationship by the blood of Christ. May more and more grace and peace be given to you.

You should come back to your senses and stop sinning. Some of you don’t know anything about God. I say this to make you ashamed.

Pharaoh said,“ Who is the Lord? Why should I obey him? Why should I let Israel go? I don’t even know the Lord. And I won’t let Israel go.”

Jeremiah, you live among people who tell lies. When they lie, they refuse to pay any attention to me,” announces the Lord.

I destroy every claim and every reason that keeps people from knowing God. I keep every thought under control in order to make it obey Christ.
