Vengeance • Flames • Death

Vengeance • Flames • Death

"...in flaming fire taking vengeance upon those who do not SEE God [in Jesus] and do not LISTEN to JESUS and His message." (2 Thessalonians 1:8)

It's a simple but straightforward word from Acts 3 and Acts 7. Three different times God speaks this through His people... and it was three times in the Newer Testament that we hear God saying about His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, "Hear Him..." ; "Hear Him..." ; "Hear Him..." We can't miss this and we can't fail to ensure everyone has an opportunity to hear and humbly respond to Jesus on "ALL THINGS, WHATEVER HE SAYS..." (Acts 3:22-23)

What then is the urgency of the message? Hearing, heeding and honoring the message and testimony of Jesus.

Moses said it like this: "The Lord your God will raise up FOR YOU a Prophet [speaking of Jesus] like me from your brethren, Him [Jesus] you shall hear in ALL things, WHATEVER He says to you" (Acts 3:22).

What's the cost for a person that does NOT give their FULL attention, affection and adoration to hear, heed and honor the word of Jesus?

"And, it shall be that EVERY soul who will NOT hear Jesus will be utterly destroyed from among the people [that do hear Him]" (Acts 3:23).

There's NO salvation in any other, for there is NO other name under heaven, given among men, by which we MUST be saved. There is ONLY one name given unto men to hear, heed and honor. And if ANYONE is not hearing, living and proclaiming His message... they will perish and be destroyed without Him and His grace. (Acts 4:11-12)
