The time is coming when the Lord is going to start manifesting His judgments, first upon the church, and then upon the world. And even though many in the church may refuse to believe that He’ll do that, still, the Jews held the same view. Many believe and are taught that, since we’re His people, then He wouldn’t judge us; whereas, in reality, He’s going to judge us before He ever gets to the world. The reason? He needs to prepare us to go to the world; and we aren’t anywhere near ready. He showed Ezekiel what was actually going on behind the scenes, in the chambers of their imagery; and these things are exactly what is happening in far too many churches and with far too many believers. Fortunately, God is a God of mercy; and He’ll extend mercy before He ever administers judgment.
