Isaiah 18:3
All you inhabitants of the world,
you who dwell on the earth,
when a signal is raised on the mountains, look!
When a trumpet is blown, hear!
From the futility of our earthly existence the inhabitants of the world look to our own devices and forget the God of Heaven above.
We forget that we are of dust and to dust we will return. We forget to give thanks and worship to the Lord God for the very breath of life He as breathed into our lifeless flesh. We fail to bow down to the King of the Highest Heaven above, our God Who came down to His own and laid down His Holy Life on a lowly Cross for your sins and for mine.
He IS the King of Creation, the God of all creatures, the first born ‘adam of sinlessness.
Jesus Christ IS risen into the place of His former glory.
He has promised His faithful the eternal salvation of His Heavenly Home.
Further, He will awaken all souls from the dust of our demise. He will call up the souls of all the inhabitants of the world to justice and judgment for every past sin, every unaccounted transgression. He will burn away the iniquity of the dead in the pit of eternal torment, as the forgotten faithful receive our full reward forever more.
He IS the Lamb of God, His Blood the Sacrifice of the Cross for the victory over sin and death!
Revelation 6
English Standard Version (ESV)
The Seven Seals
6 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
You, O earth, have not given the Lord His glory.
You have not bowed down in worship to the Lord your God.
You have not acknowledged the Sacrifice of His only Son for your sake.
You do not look to the Highest Heaven and bow down to the Throne of His glory.
The people and the church do not hearken to the signs of the trumpet soon to sound.
Repent!
O you peoples, you who claim His Holy Name!
Matthew 24:
English Standard Version (ESV)
The Coming of the Son of Man
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Raise ear to the sound of the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords!
From on High a trumpet will sound.
Where, O sinner, will you put your trust?
Where, O sinner, will you hide from His wrath?
