Beloved, because murdering has now become accepted norm all over the world, unabated, Jesus during His earthly ministry established more fierce judgement on murderers and warned His followers, which includes you, to avoid it. Please heed His warning, the consequence is fearsome and dreadful. See it.
Matthew 5:21-22. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Dearly beloved, one of the foremost prophecies of Moses the man of God was that God shall raise up a prophet like unto Him, whose words must be obeyed implicitly. See it.
Deuteronomy 18:18:-19. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, thatwhosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
The blessed Holy Spirit affirmed severally in the New Testament that, this prophet was our Lord. See it.
Acts 3:20-23. And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Acts 7:37: ¶This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
Remember on the mount of transfiguration, when Moses and Elias were talking to our Lord about His passion, the Father spoke from glory about our Lord, His begotten Son, whom you must hear obediently. This is because His words are final and are more weightier that whatever Moses or the entire prophets of Old Testament might have written . See it.
Matthew 17:1-5. And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Dearly beloved, one of the weightier things Jesus taught compared to the writing of Moses was the severity of Judgement of being angry or usage of foul languages to someone as compared to killing that Moses wrote. See it.
Exodus 20:13: Thou shalt not kill.
Deuteronomy 5:17: Thou shalt not kill.
Matthew 5:21-22. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Interestingly, this judgement shall be administered by our Lord Himself, the judge of the whole world. See this affirmed severally.
John 5:22. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Acts 10:40-42. Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
Acts 17:30-31. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Romans 2:16. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Because of the love of our Lord to His believers of all ages, especially you, He himself and the blessed Holy Spirit gave warning to believers and you, to enable them avert this terror. See them .
Matthew 5:21-22. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
2 Corinthians 5:10-11. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Remember this, don’t ever forget. The same judgement a murderer that shed blood in the days of Moses shall receive, is what anyone and everyone in the dispensation of grace shall receive, for being angry, manifesting hatred or using foul languages against another. Because you shall avert this. Heed the timely warning of our Lord.
JESUS COUNSELLED BELIEVERS OF ALL AGES AND YOU I PARTICULAR, TO AVOID ETERNAL JUDGEMENT OF MURDERERS. HEED THE WARNING.
Friend, as you prepare for the dawning rapture, be very careful not to fall into satan’s devices and wiles unknowingly. Believers today, who do not know the weightiness of God’s judgement in the time of grace as compared to the time of law shall easily be ensnared into satan’s devices. Please beware. You shall not be ensnared in Jesus name. God shall help you to be fully prepare and the rapture shall not elude you in Jesus name.
2 Corinthians 2:11. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Ephesians 6:10-11. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Friend, it is true that you are now in the time of grace, but do you know that, in the dispensation of the law, you have not become a murderer until , you kill and shed blood. But in this dispensation of grace, when you hate anymore in your heart. It might be your spouse, neighbour, colleagues or brethren in the church, you have become a murderer , to be sentenced to the lake of fire eternally. This was why our Lord counselled, all believers, most importantly you to avoid eternal judgement. See and compare.
Exodus 20:13: Thou shalt not kill.
Deuteronomy 5:17: Thou shalt not kill.
Matthew 5:21-22. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
See the amplification of what Jesus said, as further explained by the blessed Holly Spirit.
1 John 2:9: He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1 John 3:10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John 3:14-15. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 4:20:-21. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. Friend see the judgement Jesus referred to.
Revelation 21:8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Friend, how many believers today are basking on the fact that, they are in the dispensation of grace and are full of hatred in their hearts. Should the rapture happen this is what shall hinder them. You shall not be hindered in Jesus name. Should death takes place, such people goes straight to hell. You shall not go to hell in Jesus name. Can we continue in the sin of hatred and wants grace to abound?
Romans 6:1-2. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Friend, because you are desirous of partaking in this forthcoming event and God shall surely grant your earnest request, please heed this warning and purge your hearts continually of hatred of anyone that has offended you always. The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name.
