[Romans] 1:18-26 18 For the wrath of God is revealed( apokolupsis - laid open, made known, uncovered) from heaven ( ouranos = the universe) against (epi = in opposition to) all ungodliness ( lack of reverence toward God)  and unrighteousness ( un right wise ness) of men, who hold ( katecho = suppress,  restrain or hinder, hold back) the truth in unrighteousness; 

 

[19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest to them; for God hath shewed [it]( phaneroo =  to manifest in it’s true character)  unto them.  [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 

 

AMPLIFIED: (For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God Himself has shown it to them) In other words, there has to be a phaneroo for this to take place. Then this speaks of the once for all enlightenment that must take place according to

 

Hebrews 6. Amplified (Read) Therefore let us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ the Messiah, advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belongs to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of faith by which you turned to God, With teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, the eternal judgment and punishment. These matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago. If indeed God permits we will now proceed to advanced teaching. For it is impossible to restore and bring again to repentance those who have been once for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift, and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit, and have felt how good the  Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and world to come. If they deviate from The Faith and turn away from allegiance; it is impossible to bring them back to repentance, for because, while as long as they nail up on the cross the Son of God afresh, as far as they are concerned, and are holding Him up in contempt and shame and public disgrace.

 

(We are looking at the judgment then of those who would willfully turn away from the Truth, or willfully withold the Truth from others.)

 

[21]  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  23  And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.   24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.  28  And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;  29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,  30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

 

Now we are promised that God’s wrath will deal with these people at the end-time. As you know, Wednesday night we began to deal with this subject  of the wrath of God and the judgments that are in the earth. We found that the juddgments are brought to earth at the time of the seventh angel.

 

REVELATION 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Now, notice that this angel is to show or present the Bride of Christ, and he is the same one that brought forth the vials containing the seven last plagues.  ( angel with small (a) means messenger).

Romans #10, 1: 18-26

 

278  Modern Events Made Clear by Prophecy 65-1206   “there will come on this earth, by God's promise, a genuine servant of God, identified by God, by His Word being the answer of this day, that'll set the Bride in order (a real little minority of the church) and take it up. That's right. He'll introduce, "Behold, there's the One I talked about (See?), that'll come."

 

120-1  The Spoken Word is the Original Seed 62-0318E   Then from a little group of the true Seed of the Word, God will present Christ a beloved Bride, a Virgin, a Virgin of His Word. 

 

269  Anointed Ones at the End-Time  65-0725M   Now, I want you to know this is sure. And you that listen to this tape, you might have thought today that I was trying to say that about myself, being that I was packing this Message. I have no more to do with it than nothing, no more than just a voice. And my voice, even against my better judgment... I wanted to be a trapper. But it's the will of my Father that I declare to do, and determined to do. I wasn't the One that appeared down on the river; I was only standing there when He appeared. I'm not the One that performs these things and foretells these things that happens as perfect as they are; I'm only one that's near when He does it. I was only a voice that He used to say it. It wasn't what I knew; it's what I just surrendered myself to, that He spoke through. It isn't me. It wasn't the seventh angel, oh, no; it was a manifestation of the Son of man. It wasn't the angel, his Message; it was the mystery that God unfolded. It's not a man; it's God. The angel was not the Son of man; he was a messenger from the Son of man. The Son of man is Christ. He's the One that you're feeding on. You're not feeding on a man. A man, his words will fail, but you're feeding on the unfailing Body-Word of the Son of man.   If you haven't fed fully on every Word to give yourself strength to fly above all these denominations and things of the world, will you at this time do it, while we pray?

Zech 14:12  And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 13  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.  14  And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 15  And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

PS 106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

                              

Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
