Repentance, or else!

We don’t like ultimatums. YOU MUST REPENT, or else the Lord will do ‘this or that.’ No wonder the Prophets of the LORD were often rejected in their own land.

Repentance, or else, becomes a recurring theme before the coming of the Messiah Jesus and before the long silence of the LORD which precedes Christ in Bethlehem, Nazareth, Capernaum and Jerusalem. You will find it Malachi the last book of the Old Testament and even in the Psalms.

The intentional call of repentance is both serious and urgent. John the Baptist uses pointed language which offends and so did the Promised One, Jesus, Son of Man and Son of God.

Scriptures

Malachi 3 & 4

Luke 3

Isaiah 33

“Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire?
    Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?”
