Abdulkareem al-Hawa was put to death in front of a baying crowd along with 36 other men who were executed this week in the barbaric desert kingdom

Pay close attention to this article and read it very carefully, this is what life is truly like when you live in a country that is governed by Sharia Law. The Law of Mohammed is cruel and unforgiving, justice is not a factor, it is only about exercising raw power to dominate and oppress.

I am not against Muslims as people, they are free to come here to America and assimilate into our culture. I would love to see them all come to s saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as Saviour and avoid the fiery Hell that Mohammed has been burning in since June 8, 632 AD. But I am resolutely against the tyrannical religion of Islam and its diabolical Sharia Law.

Since 9/11, there have been over 34,911 Islamic terror attacks, in the month of March alone there were 132 Islamic terror attacks, resulting in 729 killed, 776 injured and taking place in 23 countries. Look closely at the man being crucified in the picture at the top of the article, that’s not Jesus Christ paying for your sins. That’s a petty criminal receiving “justice” from Sharia Law. Don’t forget that.

Saudi Arabia mass execution – Lad, 16, tortured with electricity and BEHEADED just for sending WhatsApp messages about protests

FROM THE UK SUN: Abdulkarim al-Hawaj, 21, was a schoolboy when he was detained and accused of being a “terrorist” for sending texts online about an anti-government demonstration.

He was a Shiite Muslim – which is a persecuted minority group in Sunni-dominated Saudi – living in the troubled Eastern province.

Abdulkarim was beaten and tortured with electricity while his hands were chained above his head when he “confessed” to his crimes, human rights charity Reprieve said.

This week, he had his head cut from his body in front of a baying, bloodthirsty crowd along with 36 other men in the medieval country.

BUTCHERED FOR SENDING TEXT MESSAGES

Sentencing a person to death who is aged under 18 is banned under international law. Another victim, Mujtaba al-Sweikat, was a teenager who was set to start a new life in the US, studying at Western Michigan University, when he was arrested for attending an anti-government protest.

The then-17-year-old – who had enrolled in English language and finance – was badly beaten including on the soles of his feet before he “confessed” to crimes against the state. Human rights charities claim he was also tortured into confessing and convicted in a “sham trial.”

Why are so many left-wing progressives in America so silent about Islam’s totalitarian tendencies?

People afraid of being called Islamophobes have created space for hardline Muslim men to promote sharia courts, the wearing of the full-face veil, arranged marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), and gender segregation in public places.

THE GODLESS PROGRESSIVE LEFT IN AMERICA SUPPORTS SHARIA LAW

Despite his university protesting his sentence, insisting he had “great promise,” Mujtaba was also beheaded this week. Reprieve Deputy Director Harriet McCulloch insists both men were sharing information about “peaceful” demonstrations.

She said: “Many things can be used to justify a death sentence in Mohammed Bin Salman’s Saudi Arabia, including ‘disobedience against the King’, ‘preparing banners with anti-state slogans’ and ‘incitement via social media’.

“Mujtaba al-Sweikat and Abdulkarim al-Hawaj were teenagers sharing information about peaceful protests on their mobile phones. Saudi Arabia’s western allies must act now, to prevent any more young people being killed for exercising their right to freedom of expression.”

Another man, Munir al-Adam, was just 23, when he was arrested at a government checkpoint in 2012. His feet were so badly beaten he was forced to crawl on his hands and knees for days, it has been reported.

Munir lost the hearing in one of his ears, following a childhood accident, but was left completely deaf after the horrific torture, it has been alleged. He told a judge that he agreed to sign the confession because he was exhausted by the brutal and relentless torture.

The killings were carried out in Riyadh, the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina, central Qassim province and Eastern Province, home to the country’s Shiite minority. Lynn Maalouf, Middle East Research Director at Amnesty International, said the mass execution was a chilling demonstration of the Saudi Arabian authorities callous disregard for human life.

She said: “It is also yet another gruesome indication of how the death penalty is being used as a political tool to crush dissent from within the country’s Shiite minority.”

For Abdulkareem al-Hawaj’s family, perhaps it was consolation their son’s decapitated head and body was not impaled and put on display as a warning to others. Others were not so fortunate.

‘CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE’

The 37 citizens killed during  beheading bloodbath had all been convicted of terrorism offences in the hardline kingdom. It emerged one man had even been crucified. Saudi lawmakers insist the men were charged with “adopting terrorist extremist ideology, forming terrorist cells” and harming the “peace and security of society”.

Those executed had been involved in attacking a base killing a number of security officers, the Saudi Press Agency statement said. The slaughter of mainly minority Shiites is likely to stoke further regional and sectarian tensions between rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Saudi dissident Ali Al-Ahmed, who runs the Gulf Institute in Washington, identified 34 of those executed as Shiites based on the names announced by the Interior Ministry.

“This is the largest mass execution of Shiites in the kingdom’s history,” he said.

SHAM TRIALS

In fact it marked the largest number of executions in a single day in Saudi Arabia since January 2, 2016, when the kingdom executed 47 people for terrorism-related crimes. The Interior Ministry’s statement said those executed had adopted extremist ideologies and formed terrorist cells with the aim of spreading chaos and provoking sectarian strife.

It said the individuals had been found guilty according to the law and ordered executed by the Specialised Criminal Court in Riyadh, which handles terrorism trials, and the country’s high court.

Amnesty International said 11 of the men were convicted of spying for Iran and sentenced to death after a “grossly unfair trial.” At least 14 others executed were convicted of violent offences related to their participation in anti-government demonstrations in Shiite-populated areas of Saudi Arabia between 2011 and 2012.

The Interior Ministry said the body of one of the executed men Khaled bin Abdel Karim al-Tuwaijri was publicly pinned to a pole. The statement did not say in which city of Saudi Arabia the public display took place. READ MORE

Saudi Arabia executes 37 Shias on minor charges

Human rights groups have been outraged over Saudi Arabia’s execution of 37 men this week. Most of these men were of the Shia minority and were punished on terror, violence and unrest-related charges. However, their actual crimes consisted of “disrespecting authority”. Gulf Affairs Institute Director Ali Al Ahmed joins In Question to discuss the outcry with RT America’s Manila Chan.

Donald Trump

The Trump Superstore Is Closing Because The People Have Stopped Coming, And It’s The Perfect Metaphor For His Rapidly Collapsing MAGA Presidency

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

As Trump’s Poll Numbers Collapse And MAGA Voters Walk Away, The Shuttering Trump Superstore Becomes The Perfect Metaphor For A Presidency Built On Broken Promises

Sometimes a single photograph tells the entire story. Standing beside Interstate 40 in Tennessee is a giant red banner announcing that the Trump Superstore is “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,” with everything marked down 50 percent. It is more than the closing of another roadside novelty shop, far from it. It’s the Trump presidency in one brutally honest picture. Our 16th president Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time”. Trump’s ‘moment in the sun’ appears to be darkening into night, and that’s bad news for the American people as our national ship becomes rudderless.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)

For two years, the Trump Superstore operated as a roadside shrine to the MAGA movement, overflowing with Trump hats, Trump flags, Trump shirts, Trump statues and seemingly every imaginable product capable of carrying the Trump name. During the movement’s high-water mark, people were reportedly lined up outside the door. Today, the merchandise is sitting unwanted on the shelves while the owner desperately attempts to liquidate it.

Owner Bill Hays finally admitted that the store is closing because of a “lack of business.” His employee was even more direct: “We’re not busy anymore.” He described Trump’s popularity as “dwindling, dwindling, dwindling.” That isn’t some fake news Democratic propaganda or liberal media speculation. That assessment came from inside the Trump Superstore itself. The Trump brand is now on clearance, and that makes this store the perfect metaphor for the rapidly collapsing Trump presidency.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos polling places Trump’s approval rating at just 33 percent, with 64 percent disapproving. That is the lowest rating of his current presidency and ties the lowest Ipsos rating of his first term. He returned to Washington with nearly half the country approving of him; now only one-third remains. Even Republican support is cracking: recent Economist/YouGov polling placed his approval among Republicans at 79 percent, down 12 points from January 2025, while those who “strongly approve” have fallen from 68 percent to 48 percent.  Those numbers are not collapsing because Americans suddenly developed an aversion to red hats. They are collapsing because millions of people who voted for Trump are discovering that slogans do not pay electric bills, campaign rallies do not fill grocery carts, and promises of prosperity do not lower the price displayed on the gasoline pump.

As of August 18, the national average for regular gasoline is approximately $4.07 per gallon—nearly 93 cents higher than one year ago.

Grocery prices remain painfully elevated as well. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report shows food-at-home prices rising another 2.7 percent over the previous year, with fruits and vegetables up 5.1 percent and nonalcoholic beverages up 4.1 percent. Overall consumer prices are 3.4 percent higher.  AP-NORC found that 41 percent of American adults are extremely or very concerned about affording groceries, while most households report changing how they shop—buying generic products, abandoning certain items and cutting restaurant spending simply to cover basic necessities. That is the political reality behind the empty Trump Superstore.

MAGA voters were promised lower prices, cheap energy, restored prosperity and an end to endless foreign wars. Instead, they received four-dollar gasoline, stubbornly expensive groceries, another widening Middle Eastern conflict and a president who increasingly seems unable—or unwilling—to understand why his own supporters are angry. People did not buy Trump merchandise merely because they needed another polyester shirt. They bought it because it represented something. It was a declaration of faith in the political promise that Trump would restore the country, drain the swamp, break the globalist system and put the forgotten American worker first. But when belief in the promise disappears, the merchandise becomes clutter.

A $30 Trump hat looks considerably less attractive when gasoline costs more than $4 per gallon. A Trump flag becomes difficult to justify when the grocery bill keeps climbing. A gold-painted Trump statue becomes an absurd luxury when working families are deciding whether to purchase food or place the electric bill on a credit card. The Trump Superstore did not run out of Trump merchandise. It ran out of people willing to believe that owning it still meant something.

There is also a spiritual lesson here for Bible believers. Far too many Christians transformed Donald Trump from a political candidate into some sort of messianic personality. MAGA rallies began resembling religious revivals, political slogans displaced biblical discernment, and any criticism of Trump was treated as an act of apostasy. But Donald Trump is not Jesus Christ. MAGA is not the Church. America is not Israel, and no occupant of the White House can save a nation that has rejected the Book, the blood and the blessed hope.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 19:2 (KJB)

The Bible warns us plainly, but millions preferred the red hat to the old Book. Now the political merchandise is gathering dust and the movement built around it is discovering that personality cults cannot indefinitely survive broken promises and economic pain. This is not an endorsement of the Democrats, whose godless agenda remains every bit as wicked and destructive as it has always been. It is a warning against turning any politician into a saviour and then refusing to acknowledge reality when his promises collapse. The giant “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS” banner outside the Trump Superstore could just as easily be hanging over the Trump presidency. The excitement is disappearing, the crowds are shrinking, even Republican loyalty is weakening. The polling is collapsing, and the merchandise that once symbolized a political revolution is being dumped at half price.

Trump successfully sold MAGA America a golden age, but it turned out to be a golden age bill of goods. . What his supporters received were higher bills, expensive gasoline, costly groceries and another war. Now they are walking away from the merchandise because they are walking away from the illusion. The Trump Superstore is closing because the customers have disappeared. Unless something changes dramatically, history may record that its massive liquidation banner became the perfect political obituary for the rapidly failing Trump presidency:

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS—EVERYTHING MUST GO. BYE, BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How Moderna Was Created As A DARPA Secret Project To Weaponize COVID And Its Vaccine For Global Subjugation

Follow The Money: DARPA Under Obama Funded Moderna, Fauci’s Agency Helped Develop Its Vaccine, Trump Accelerated It And Biden Used Government Power To Mandate It Across America

Take whatever you’ve been told, whatever you think you know, about the true origins of COVID-19 and the subsequent bioweapon known as the COVID vaccine, and throw it out the window because the truth is the real conspiracy theory. This is a story about a 2009 secret project called ‘LS18’ imagined by shadowy private venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering, and turned over to DARPA who then created the most visible secret government project in American history. By the time it was over, it would involve the governments of presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Donald Trump and NIAID director Anthony Fauci as the star players responsible for bringing it all to pass. What is LS18? Moderna and the COVID vaccine.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, long before COVID-19, the United States government was pouring money into Moderna’s experimental mRNA platform. DARPA awarded Moderna as much as $25 million in 2013 to develop mRNA medicines capable of responding rapidly to natural and engineered biological threats. BARDA later committed money to Moderna’s Zika program before providing a maximum award of $1.4 billion to advance its COVID vaccine through clinical development and FDA licensure. Moderna’s own federal filings acknowledge that its COVID vaccine was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—the agency directed by Anthony Fauci from 1984 through 2022. The government was not standing outside Moderna’s laboratory waiting to evaluate a privately developed product. Government scientists participated in its development. Government agencies funded the trials. The government financed manufacturing. The government purchased the doses. Government officials promoted the injections, and government policies created demand. Federal liability protections shielded the manufacturers. This was not a normal relationship between a government regulator and a private pharmaceutical company. This was an integrated government/corporate MAFIA-style operation.

This was never simply the story of one vaccine or one pharmaceutical company. It’s the all-too true story of what happens when government, medicine, secret military research, corporate profit, media propaganda and emergency authority merge into a single apparatus. It is literally the greatest scandal in American history, and the most deadly coordinated global attack ever conceived and carried out.

  • Trump’s Operation Warp Speed supplied the money, military organization and unprecedented acceleration.
  • Fauci and NIAID supplied the scientific partnership, institutional authority and public-health messaging.
  • Moderna supplied the commercial product and collected billions in revenue.
  • Biden supplied the mandates, employment pressure and federal enforcement.
  • The media portrayed questioning as dangerous misinformation.
  • The pharmaceutical companies received sky-high profits and liability protection.

What did the American people get? Plenty. We received endlessly-shifting bogus guidance, arbitrary restrictions, economic devastation, coerced medical decisions and endless demands to trust officials who repeatedly resisted scrutiny. People who dared to oppose the Moderna machine were blocked, censored, ridiculed and deplatformed. When it was all over and the dust settled, not a single person in government took responsibility for their actions. Delay, Deny, Defend. Today we follow the money trail, you won’t like where it leads, but it will lead you to the truth whether you can receive it or not.

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Point Of No Return

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Great White Throne Is Coming, the Books Will Be Opened, and Every Sinner Without Jesus Christ Will Face the Second Death With No Hope of Deliverance or Escape

The Great White Throne Judgment is the last courtroom, the final reckoning and the ultimate point of no return for the unsaved dead. Everyone standing there has already rejected God’s salvation, and no one will leave that throne justified. The books will be opened, every hidden work exposed and every excuse stripped away as sinners are judged according to their works. Death and hell will surrender their prisoners, proving that hell is not the final destination but the temporary holding place of the lost until judgment. After sentencing, they will be cast into the lake of fire, which the Bible calls the second death. There will be no advocate, no appeal, no repentance and no second chance—only the righteous judgment of a HOLY God. This will be the point of no return.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.” Revelation 20:11 (KJB)

This terrifying reality is why we preach the gospel of the grace of God with urgency. During this present Church Age, salvation is freely offered to every sinner who will place his faith in the shed blood, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are not attempting merely to improve society, reform human behavior or make people more religious; we are warning souls to flee from the wrath to come. Every gospel tract, street sermon, missionary journey and personal witness is an opportunity to reach someone before death closes the door forever. The Great White Throne reminds the saved that evangelism is not optional religious activity—it is an urgent rescue mission. The time to believe is now, because there will be no gospel invitation given when the books are opened.

The Bible Believers Sunday Service: The Point Of No Return

The Point Of No Return

I. This Is the Final Judgment of the Unsaved Dead

The Great White Throne takes place after the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ. It must not be confused with the Judgment Seat of Christ, where saved members of the Body of Christ have their service examined for reward.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJB)

The people standing before the Great White Throne are called “the dead.” These are the lost dead of every generation, resurrected to receive their final judgment.

  • “Small and great” means that earthly position will mean nothing.
  • Kings will stand beside beggars.
  • Religious leaders will stand beside atheists.
  • The famous will stand beside the forgotten.
  • Every Christ-rejecting sinner will stand personally before God.

Death is not the end. Every lost person will eventually stand before the Lord Jesus Christ. This doctrine is declared in both Testaments.

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Isaiah 45:22,23 (KJB)

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 (KJB)

II. There Will Be No Place to Hide

The earth and heaven flee from the face of the One sitting upon the throne. The condemned sinner will have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and no one behind whom he can conceal himself.

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3 (KJB)

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Hebrews 4:11,12 (KJB)

At this judgment there will be:

  • No defense attorney.
  • No excuse accepted.
  • No plea bargain offered.
  • No opportunity for repentance.
  • No second chance to believe the gospel.
  • No appeal from the sentence.

The Great White Throne is the final point of no return.

III. The Books Will Be Opened

“And the books were opened” shows that God maintains a perfect and complete record. Nothing has been forgotten, overlooked or erased. None of it.

Those books contain the record of every:

  • Sin committed.
  • Lie spoken.
  • Evil thought entertained.
  • Opportunity rejected.
  • Gospel invitation refused.
  • Work performed in rebellion against God.

People may hide their sins from family, government, employers and churches, but no one can hide anything from God. All their sin will be paid for, and must be paid for, by themselves for eternity in the Lake of Fire.

IV. The Book of Life Will Be Opened

Alongside the books of works, God opens “the book of life.” This book settles the eternal question. The books demonstrate the sinner’s guilt. The book of life reveals that the sinner never received God’s salvation. The final issue is not whether someone performed religious works, joined a church, received baptism or tried to live a moral life. The determining issue is whether that person belonged to Jesus Christ.

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15 (KJB)

No one standing at the Great White Throne will be justified by works. Their works will determine the measure of their judgment, but works cannot produce salvation. We are all born in the image of Adam, and only the New Birth can, and will, fix that!

“And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:” Genesis 5:3 (KJB)

“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:7 (KJB)

V. Hell Will Deliver Up Its Dead

“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.” Revelation 20:13 (KJB)

Hell is not the final destination of the lost. It is the present place of conscious punishment where the lost dead await final judgment. At the Great White Throne, hell will surrender its inhabitants. They will be bodily resurrected, brought before God, judged and cast into the lake of fire.

The biblical order is:

  1. The lost person dies.
  2. The soul goes to hell.
  3. The lost dead are resurrected.
  4. They stand before the Great White Throne.
  5. They are judged according to their works.
  6. They are cast into the lake of fire.

VI. The Lake of Fire Is the Second Death

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14 (KJB)

The first death separates the soul from the body. The second death is eternal separation from God in the lake of fire.

The second death is:

  • Conscious.
  • Final.
  • Irreversible.
  • Eternal.
  • The righteous judgment of God against sin.

The lake of fire was not invented by medieval religion. It is the unmistakable teaching of the word of God. Jesus Christ warned about it, and Revelation identifies it as the final destination of everyone whose name is not found in the book of life. In our day, Laodiceans like Kirk Cameron, Rob Bell, John Stott, Brandan Robertson, David Bentley Hart and many others all preach either a universalism salvation or annihilationism, instead of what the word of God so clearly proclaims to be true about the place called Hell.

“We think of God as a just God, he is a just God and we believe that the punishment should fit the crime. Exactly, and so, if the punishment was cruel and unusual punishment that went far beyond the severity of the crime, that would no longer be just. After 10,000 years of anguish and pain and torment and darkness, you’re not one day closer to finding relief. You’re not even one second closer after a billion years. You’re not one second closer to the end.”Kirk Cameron

What Cameron overlooks is that the sinner has sinned against a righteous and holy ETERNAL God who never dies, so the punishment must be eternal. Cameron’s estimation of who God is is far too small, so he rejects eternal conscious torment as the Bible teaches.

VII. This Is Why We Preach the Gospel of Grace

The Great White Throne explains the urgency of evangelism. We do not preach merely to improve people’s temporary lives. We preach because lost souls are heading toward an eternal judgment from which there will be no escape.

The gospel for the Church Age is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ:

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJB)

Salvation is not found through human works, religious rituals or personal goodness. It is received by believing the gospel and trusting the finished work of Jesus Christ.

This is the ministry committed to the apostle Paul:

“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 (KJB)

Death will no longer threaten us:

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” 1 Corinthians 15:26 (KJB)

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 (KJB)

Application

To the Saved

  • Remember what Jesus Christ saved you from. Keep it personal.
  • Stop treating salvation casually, it’s literally life or death.
  • Pray for lost family members and friends.
  • Support missionaries and gospel-preaching ministries.
  • Hand out tracts, witness publicly and preach the gospel plainly.
  • Never substitute politics, social reform or religious activity for the gospel.

To the Preacher

Preach the whole counsel of God. Tell people about the love of God, but do not hide the wrath of God. Preach heaven, but also warn about hell and the lake of fire. A preacher who refuses to warn sinners about judgment is not showing compassion. Biblical compassion tells people the truth while there is still time to be saved.

“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17 (KJB)

“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” James 3:1 (KJB)

To the Lost

You are not promised another opportunity. You may dismiss the gospel today, but you will not dismiss the Judge at the Great White Throne.

“For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJB)

Do not trust your works, church membership, baptism, morality or sincerity. Trust the shed blood and finished work of Jesus Christ.

Closing Challenge

The Great White Throne is coming. The books will be opened. Every lost sinner will be found guilty, and everyone whose name is not found in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire.

For the saved, the question is: Whom are you warning?

For the preacher, the question is: Are you still preaching the gospel plainly?

For the lost, the question is: Will you trust Jesus Christ now, or meet Him later as your Judge?

There will be no gospel invitation at the Great White Throne. There will be no altar call, no opportunity to repent and no second chance to believe. The time to be saved is now.
