judgement

"then i saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! the one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. his eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself."

revelation 19:10-12

how quickly we assume the role of God in our own lives. and as quickly we move into His position as Judge of all His creation. especially in regard to the broken human lives we cross paths with each day. God is reserving His own judgement in an effort to reach out to all humanity. His message is life and peace through the saving power of His son Jesus. in receiving this message and believing it in faith, we have the promise from the creator of the universe of life eternal. and by rejecting it and Him, we invite His judgement for all eternity. simple.
then why would anyone reject Him? somehow for many of us in our failed humanity, we are not satisfied with believing, and if we believe, how many more of us cannot submit our lives to His ultimate authority? and so we reject the message and the messenger, because we don't like the packaging. we don't like a God we can't control giving us the choice of life or death based on our acceptance and submission to His Lordship. and in re-writing the and rejecting the law of God which demands perfection (which could only be completed by Jesus) we who are living outside of the righteous protection of Christ stand waiting for judgement. a very dangerous place to be on that day when He comes on that white horse.

"He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. and the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. from his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords."
