JUDGMENT BY FIRE MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD

[William Wilbur]

JUDGMENT BY FIRE MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD

Acts 17:31
Because He hath appointed A DAY, in which
He will JUDGE THE WORLD(Greek-inhabited earth)
in righteousness

Before God brings this final judgment
on the entirety of the world,
he must first perform another judgment
on another group of people...

This judgment is going on right now,
yet many are not even aware of it

JUDGMENT BY FIRE
MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD

1Pet 4:16-17
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian,
let him not be ashamed;
but let him glorify God on this behalf
For the TIME IS COME that
JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD

John the Baptist said that Jesus
would be baptizing repentant believers with fire

Matt 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water unto REPENTANCE:
but He that comes after me is mightier than I,
Whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit,
AND WITH FIRE

Peter said:
1Pet 4:12
Beloved, think it NOT STRANGE
concerning the fiery trial which is to try you,
as though some STRANGE thing happened unto you

Peter also said:
1Pet 1:7
That the trial of your faith,
being much more precious than of gold that perishes,
though it (your faith) be TRIED IN THE FIRE,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ

Paul said:
1Cor 3:13
Every man’s work (including believers)
shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed BY FIRE, and the FIRE
shall try every man’s work of what sort it is

Jesus said:
Mark 9:49
For EVERY ONE (sinner and saint)
shall be salted with FIRE

Christian will NOT escape being
revealed, tried, salted, and baptized by FIRE

Whatever this "fire" is,
it is going to be used ON EVERYONE (Rev 21:8)

And are these non-believers
judged differently from believers
who are revealed, tried, salted and baptized IN FIRE?

Just HOW are these non-believers judged
in the book of Revelation?

How are the "fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars..." JUDGED?

Answer: ...In the lake WHICH BURNS WITH FIRE

Is this "fire" in the book of Revelation DIFFERENT
from the fire that tries the works of believers
in the book of I Corinthians?

NO, The word "fire"
used in the four examples above concerning believers,
is the SAME word "fire" used in the book of Revelation
concerning non-believers:

STRONG’s Greek Dictionary of the New Testament:
page 219, #4442, pur; a primary word; "fire"
(literally OR FIGURATIVELY) Pur is used
(besides its ordinary natural significance)

Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible:
in Rev 3:18 it is SYMBOLIC of
that which tries the faith of saints,
PRODUCING WHAT WILL GLORIFY THE LORD;

NOTE:
It is NOT the "believer" who "produces" these glorious things,
but it is the "SYMBOLIC FIRE" that produces them

And just Who is this "symbolic fire?"

It is, of course, GOD
For OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE (Heb 12:29)

Also from Strong's:
of the fire of DIVINE JUDGMENT upon the REJECTERS of Christ,
Matt 3:11 (where a distinction is to be made between
the baptism of the holy Spirit at Pentecost
and the "fire" of divine retribution;
Acts 2:3 could not refer to baptism); Luke 3:16

In conclusion...

Unless God Almighty
through the purging power of His FIERY SPIRIT,
is BURNING OUT the lusts and passions and vanity
and haughtiness and greed and self-righteousness
and laziness and weakness and hypocrisy and wickedness
and pride and materialism and cynicism and depravity
and carnality in your life,

then Jesus Christ is NOT choosing you
to reign with Him
as the Sons of God in the Kingdom of God
and to bring ALL Heaven and Earth
to repentance and salvation

Our character flaws of the mind and spirit
are going to be burned out of us all

God will either BURN OUT these filthy impurities
from our hearts and minds NOW,

or He will BURN THEM OUT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE,
but either way, make no mistake about it,

THESE THINGS ARE COMING OUT!!!

Come read:
Most Christians will die in their sins
(the greatest deception of Satan)
