There use to be a unwritten code that you did not demean a holy figure. There was an understanding that what people revere, venerate, and worship is to be treated with respect. Well that is no more. On August 8th, I listened as a prominent late night personality allowed a man to say vulgar, blasphemous, and antichrist statements about our Lord Jesus Christ! This man said things about Jesus that are so wicked, that I shall not utter them here. What I will say is I now am boycotting that late show, the host of the show, and his team who laughed and mocked our Lord! I will not tolerate antichrists, which they are.
There was a time no one would ever say vulgar things about our Lord. People respected Jesus, even if they did not believe as we Christians do. Well that has changed, mocking Christ is becoming commonplace in media. But these people shall hide when Christ appears in the sky!, “They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!” (Revelation 6:16). They ridicule our Savior now, but a day of Judgement awaits them who do not repent and turn to Jesus! For our Lord tells us He will separate goats and sheep, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal damnation, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:31-46). He will save us who place our faith in Him and damn those who made fun of him and never repented. All those who serve the antichrist will burn for eternity, “Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15). There will be no succor for those against Christ Jesus, not relief from their torments. They laugh now, but shall languish in torment forever. There will be no moment of respite, no second to rest, no! The flames will envelop them, and they shall know pain never ending for having rejected The God of Love (1 John 4:8), who hung on a tree for them, and paid for the sins that they commit; they who spurn his Gift of Grace and Communion will have their portion in perdition. For they chose to despise the Christ who gave his life so they could have eternal life! Woe unto those who continue to mock the Messiah! No mountain will hide you, no cave will be deep enough to conceal you from The Wrath of the Lamb! We who love The Lamb are spared from wrath, “For God has not destined (appointed) us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,” (1 Thessalonians 5:19), and “and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead--Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.” (1 Thessalonians 1:10). But those who persist in antagonism towards The Almighty One will reap Abaddon! Hell Fire! Amen.
