Haters Really Hate Yahuwah
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:40
Matthew 25:40
This is a description of the last judgement. It is an explanation of the former parables. There is a judgement to come, in which every man shall be sentenced to a state of everlasting happiness, or misery.
Yeshua Hamashiach shall come, not only in the glory of his Fathe but in his own glory, as Mediator. The wicked and godly here dwell together, in the same cities, congregations, families, and are not always to be known the one from the other, such are the weaknesses of saints, such the hypocrisies of sinners and death takes both, but in that day they will be parted for ever.
Yeshua Hamashiach is the great Shepherd, he will shortly distinguish between those that are his, and those that are not. All other distinctions will be done away, but the great one between saints and sinners, holy and unholy, will remain for ever. The happiness the saints shall possess is very great. It is a kingdom, the most valuable possession on earth, yet this is but a faint resemblance of the blessed state of the saints in heaven.
It is a kingdom prepared. The Father provided it for them in the greatness of his wisdom and power, the Son purchased it for them and the blessed Spirit, in preparing them for the kingdom, is preparing it for them. It is prepared for them, it is in all points adapted to the new nature of a sanctified soul. It is prepared from the foundation of the world. This happiness was for the saints, and they for it, from all eternity. They shall come and inherit it.
What we inherit is not got by ourselves. It is Yahuwah that makes heirs of heaven. We are not to suppose that acts of bounty will entitle to eternal happiness. Good works done for Yahuwah's sake, through Yeshua Hamashiach, are here noticed as marking the character of believers made holy by the Spirit of Yeshua Hamashiach and as the effects of grace bestowed on those who do them. The wicked in this world were often called to come to Yeshua Hamashiach for life and rest, but they turned from his calls and justly are those bid to depart from Yeshua Hamashiach, that would not come to him.
Condemned sinners will in vain offer excuses. The punishment of the wicked will be an everlasting punishment, their state cannot be altered. Thus life and death, good and evil, the blessing and the curse, are set before us, that we may choose our way, and as our way so shall our end be.
