Judgment on the Ungodly
Notes
Transcript
He said,
“The Lord came from Sinai
and dawned from Seir upon us;
he shone forth from Mount Paran;
he came from the ten thousands of holy ones,
with flaming fire at his right hand.
A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened.
It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.
to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.
People who constantly complain, never content with what they have or what’s being asked of them. Think of the Israelites in the wilderness—though God delivered them, they grumbled constantly. Grumbling is not a fruit of the Spirit. It’s a sign of ingratitude and unbelief. It tells us this about grumbling in Philippians 2.14
Do all things without grumbling or disputing,
This is a life ruled not by the Spirit, but by sinful cravings. These people aren’t seeking righteousness, they are enslaved to what they want, no matter the cost. Their own desire is their god and it says in Romans 8.8
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
