My bible reading today was in Revelation 6 - The start of the judgement of mankind at the hand of Jesus Christ. This book is a reminder that time will end, judgment will arrive, and no man will escape. Reading vs16 is always profound to me:
16 and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
Unlike all the movies where the world is ending; this judgement is specific. The judgement that mankind can currently think on: The world ending itself, or mankind causing the end through poor care of nature. The end of the world in scripture however is judgement at the hand of a person. So specific in fact that all mankind in the midst of the initial tribulations will desire to be hidden from the one that is bringing the judgement. This "one" who is bringing judgment is Jesus Christ, not "God" in a general sense.
What is incredible to me is that the world will know that the Lamb (Jesus Christ) is specifically judging them. So... All mankind will know Jesus Christ, the question is how: As judge or redeemer? In light of this, am I effectively taking hold of opportunities for evangelism?
