In this message, Pastor Landis teaches on the essential fact that only faith in Jesus the Messiah can deliver us from the wrath of God which is soon to be poured out on those who choose to believe and fall into the philosophies of the world rather that the gospel of Christ. This is the reinforcement that we need to endure the afflictions of the last days.
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Psalms 2:1 – 12 (NASB)
Psa 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed:
Psa 2:3 “Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!”
Psa 2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.
Psa 2:5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury:
Psa 2:6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
Psa 2:7 “I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee.
Psa 2:8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Thy possession.
Psa 2:9 ‘Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.'”
Psa 2:10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11 Worship the LORD with reverence, And rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
New Testament Scripture Reading: 1 John 5:1 – 7 (NASB)
1 John 5:1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.
1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world– our faith.
1 John 5:5 And who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.
1 John 5:7 And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
Point # 1: The direction of the fallen world continues to be toward Babylon from which the LORD scattered them while they were on one accord in the wrong direction.
Point # 2: In the likeness of the “Tower of Babel” the un-believing nations left to themselves in a state of false religion in which they have perpetually chosen to exist will bring man around full circle back to a condition called in the book of Revelation 18th chapter “Mystery Babylon”, which will be a governmental as well as a religious system which will again be on one accord against the LORD & His Christ, on the basis of their un-belief in Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation acceptable to the Father.
Point # 3: The ones who are and have been believers in Jesus Christ {The Messiah} will be sustained against all opposition and brought safely into the Kingdom of God to exceeding victory given to them by faith in Jesus Christ.
