Psalms 104:35

Psa 104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

If something is no more- then it doesn't exist, right?

Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psa 37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
Psa 68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Psa 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
Pro 2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Isa 9:18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
Hos 13:3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.


Let the wicked be no more.

Why do so many people believe they will have eternal life after death, a second chance to redeem themselves after death? Why do people cling to the hope of some sort of purgatory where they'll be able to suffer enough to be saved? Why don't people believe God's word?


Very few people live today with the fear of God in them, a real fear of His wrath. They say God is love so don't fear any wrath, that's all old timey stuff to scare you- that ol' fire and brimstone preaching that is long outdated and no longer applicable. Who wants to hear about hell and damnation when they could be hearing about love, love, love? We want the Pollyanna preaching, not the ministers of fury trying to put the fear of God deep inside you. Speaking of Pollyanna, that whole movie was about being happy and spreading cheerfulness with very little left for anything like fear inducing preaching.

People take the soft side of our Savior and want to sell that as His being more compassionate than the old testament God, but it's not true! Nothing that went on during the old testament times occurred without our Savior as God with God, knowing about it, not one thing and it all met with His approval. God being a consuming fire is a reality, not something that was done away with over time. Jesus did not come to change God's ways, but to reveal the Father to us fully. The Father's long suffering and compassion were truly displayed by His Begotten Son, His sorrow over the wicked, unrepentant sinner was revealed. The wrath over presumptuous sin was clearly evident as Jesus rid the temple of buyers and sellers, cheaters, thieves. Jesus' words to us about the wicked and their end are so incredibly relevant but we want to forget He said stuff like this--

Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just

Luk 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

The wicked are NOT acceptable.
The unrepentant are NOT acceptable.
The evil man is NOT acceptable.

The evil and the just will both have good things happen to them in this world now, but at the end of the world when our Savior returns the evil, the unrepentant wicked will NOT inherit the kingdom of God! We need to realize this! We need to understand that the love of God is amazing, it's powerful, it's beyond our imagination, but so too is His wrath. None will be saved that choose NOT to be saved. None will be saved that choose to disobey God. None will be saved that defy all that our God calls on us to be in Him, through Him.

We are to LOVE those who hurt us and do wickedness towards us- but that doesn't mean our loving them will alter their wicked ways. If we for one moment believe that God is going to have all loving people upon earth when He returns then we are BLIND, DEAF, and LACK UNDERSTANDING of God's word to us.

The wicked will far out number the righteous and there will be NO SECOND CHANCE! Stop it right now, stop believing you have all the time in the world or the world hereafter to become God's, to accept God, to ask for forgiveness, to truly repent! STOP IT! You do NOT have time to imagine that being evil is good or acceptable at any time, ever! The very thought of repenting later after you've 'lived a little on the wild side' is a damning thought! It's a presumption that you cannot afford to EVER make! You are not guaranteed tomorrow, no one is. You are only guaranteed right this moment you are living in right now and in this moment you can choose God over Satan, Good over Evil, Righteousness in Christ over self righteousness. Don't wait!

Psa 104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Sinners really will be consumed.
Sinners really will be NO MORE!

All those in Christ and Him alone will be blessed with life and that life will be everlasting.

Don't fool yourself that God is not exacting, don't, please don't.

By the grace of God, our loving, loving God!

May we be blessed with Him always choosing God! Choosing to fear our God in a healthy fear that allows us to comprehend good from evil. Let us never, ever lose that fear which stems from the love of God towards us.


Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

We recently studied this very part of Revelation we can't ignore the duality of our God's workings. Fear God- reverence Him, and yes, fear God who has the power to render punishment to the wicked - righteous punishment, justice. That punishment is permanent-the wicked will be no more.


By the grace of our Lord always in His love!


Amen.
