An unpopular message

The Lord is coming to judge the earth. (Isa 24, 25, 26) You cannot avoid this Scriptural fact. It is unpleasant to think about. It is uncomfortable to talk about it. You will be labeled a “kook.” It’s not “seeker sensitive” and the message does not meet any “felt needs.” If you want to be true to the Bible, you must preach and teach this often repeated theme. There is good news here though. The wicked will be punished (Isa 24:21). A righteous remnant will remain and rejoice (Isa 24:13-16). The meek shall inherit the earth (Psa 37:11). The Lord will rule from Mount Zion (Isa 24:23).
