The Day of the Lord Is Coming

When the day of the Lord comes, none of the following will be allowed to enter: ”But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8, NKJV).

Think of the horror and deception of what secular people put their hope in. Millions today are totally convinced that a leader who is not Christ will come to give them hope. They believe that soon they will finally have peace and be fulfilled; that all guilt, fear and condemnation will vanish; that sin will no longer haunt them; that they will be able to freely indulge in homosexuality and fornication with no penalty, disease or retribution. They assure themselves, ”Away with born-again religion. Away with all the condemnation that causes people to feel bad about themselves. We‘re going to have a new world where we can do as we please. No one will bother us or upset us.”

They are about to face a tragic awakening. When they find themselves in a godless hell, a mocking devil will gleefully proclaim, ”Welcome to your new world order!”

It is no wonder hell will be a place of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. There the lie will be exposed in an eternal furnace of fire. Suddenly, the damned will cry, “I‘ve been deceived! The world leaders and freedom that I was convinced was coming is an everlasting hell.” The horror of that deception will continue to grow in intensity throughout all eternity.

Multitudes in America are turning to the occult, Hollywood executives, Wall Street tycoons, Broadway actors, government leaders, people from all walks of life. They are embracing the secular world‘s false gospels: Scientology, channeling, satanism, voodoo, astrology, all kinds of demonic religions of the east. They are blind and deceived, believing a lie.

The apostle Peter tells us the truth about the coming new world and what it will be like. ”But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10). The present world is going to dissolve. Indeed, the Lord will unleash his reserved fire to purge both the heavens and the earth. God‘s new kingdom and world will come then, and his children who‘s hope has been in him will rejoice. There will be no room for corruption. The new world will be filled with voices glorifying God!
