‘A Serious End’
A study in biblical research:

(Can you fill in the missing pieces? I will complete this discourse next week. This is a very important piece of information which must be known throughout the entire world as soon as possible.)

Of course, every end is serious. But this one could be eternally serious for many, both of every individual, and of every nation; but particularly this one: the good ol’ US of A.

What I am about to write may startle some of you, and many of you will doubt it, go on with your daily natural lives, and some will scoff at me for the content of this message. Many more will not leave their 'comfort zone', and remain 'denominational' in their thinking.

I, however, am not running in a popularity contest. I am writing the truth of Jehovah God, the only true and living God, Creator of the universe, and Judge of individuals and of nations.

God is love. And His sole purpose for creating this huge expanse which we call the universe was to select a family from the earth. And the only qualification for being a candidate for becoming a family member of God’s family is that you must be a ‘whosoever’:

John 3:16-18: Jesus narrates this gospel message whereby we who believe shall be saved:
16) "For God so loved (every ‘whosoever’ in) the world, that He gave (,for the only acceptable Sacrifice for the sins of the world,) His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (as the wicked, and the sinner), but have everlasting life.
17) "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn (any individual) in the world; but that (all who will believe throughout) the world through Him might be saved. (And all who believe in Him will be.)
18) "He that believeth on Him (Jesus, the only Savior of the lost souls of all men) is not condemned (to an everlasting ‘fate’ any longer for their past sins, for their sins are taken away the instant we believe on Jesus): but he that believeth not (on the Son of God) is (still) condemned (by their past sins which are not taken away because of their unbelief) already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

If you are a real American patriot, this has already occurred in your life. To become a patriot in this great America, this would be the first step we must take.

America, how did we develop such a sordid weakness before the almighty God? Do you not know that God has a principle which deals specifically withnations which historically have developed the same problem we have now brought upon ourselves? And though God will receive us when we return wholeheartedly to Him, yet we shall not escape altogether, even if we do repent, and return to God.

 
Jeremiah 30:11:　


Job 5:17:


The same principles by which God dealt with Israel are the same principles by which He shall also deal with the Church that Jesus built:

Malachi 3:6:


Here is that principle by which God will encounter this weakened nation.

First, God dispersed Israel among many nations. In some nations, they were slaves and servants.

In others, they were the lowest of the low, because they were ‘Israel’. They were considered the ‘weak nation’, and were treated as such while in those nations.

And the Church of Jesus Christ has been scattered among other nations: denomi-nations.

Yes, we have been scattered. We are no longer a body, but many bodies. Here is God’s ‘pattern’ for the Church that Jesus built:

I Corinthians 1:10:
10) "Now, I beseech (firmly but lovingly exhort) you by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (truth, doctrine), and that there be no division (denomination, separation) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together (as ‘particular members’ in the body of Christ) in the same mind (spiritual understanding, and knowledge of the word of truthne) and in the same judgment (according to God’s principles)."

Is God pleased with how we are not in that ‘pattern’ which He has designed for us?

(See Exodus 25:40 for the 'pattern principle', regarding all things essential to our service before the almighty God Jehovah.)

God is very specific and concise in all His ways and thoughts, and will not readily accept any thing but what He has determined:

Isaiah 55:8-11:



What could happen, even if we do return?



Isaiah 30:11: This principle of God still stands, and what we can expect:



Isaiah 28: 9-10: God selects the ‘members in particular’ for His specific purposes in love:



‘Men and brethren, what shall we do?’



Find out what is missing in each of our lives as an individual before God, that we have become so far different than God’s ‘pattern’ as the Church of Jesus Chrit.

If we find ourselves to be ‘nonconformant’ (which we obviously to everyone are), there is only one thing we must do first, both individually, and collectively, as believers in Jesus Christ:

Hosea 6:1-3:



How do we do that?

First, we must develop extreme 'humility', as it is declared honestly and concisely in the scriptures.

Then to that we must add the highest spiritual quality of ‘charity’, as it is clearly and specifically defined in the scriptures.

Do we have that example somewhere in the word of truth? Absolutely:

Romans 14:

Now, though we cannot fellowship around our different doctrinal beliefs, because they are, from denomination to denomination, different from one another, from only slightly, to radically so, there is one thing around which all of us must rally: the gospel. So Paul put what I just said this way:

I Corinthians 2:2:
 2) "For I am determined not to know any thing among you, save Christ, and Him crucified."



Will we, then, be absolved absolutely for our grave error?

Were the Jews of Israel dealt with in their rejection of Christ? Here is that principle:

Deuteronomy 18:18-19:


Romans 11:25:



Have we been 'wise in our own conceit'? Will that not also bring 'blindness' to our own eyes? Has it not done so already? Look at us. We are directly opposite the 'pattern' God commanded us to be in the scripture above (I Corinthians 1:10).
And what is that principle of principles? God changes not. Righteousness is righteousness, and God (Jesus) is the same, yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Here is the final conclusion to the whole matter of our departure from the ‘patterns’ of our God:

II Chronicles 7:14:



What could happen if we do not return unto the Lord as a nation of individuals?

Leviticus 18:

Leviticus 20:




 So then, what is your part in all of this? And what are your responsibilities (contributions) to this 'last ditch effort' to save this nation?

Commit thy way unto the Lord

Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil (gratify) the lusts of the flesh.



John 14:21-24: (with Deuteronomy 18:18-19, above)
