The Seven “Everlastings” of Isaiah (Part 2 of 7)

•  Strength:  Isaiah 26:4  (KJV) ⁴ Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
• Judgments:  Isaiah 33:14 (KJV)¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
• Joy:  Isaiah 35:10 (KJV) ¹⁰ And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
• Salvation:  Isaiah 45:17 (KJV) ¹⁷ But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
• Kindness:  Isaiah 54:8 (KJV) ⁸ In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.
• Covenant:  Isaiah 55:3 (KJV) ³ Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
• Light:  Isaiah 60:19 (KJV) ¹⁹ The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

The next one of the “Everlastings” that I want to discuss is:

Everlasting Judgment–Everyone will face an Everlasting Judgment”.  You will either face GOD as a saved person, or a lost person (one who has rejected HIS son).

For the saved person we  will face the “Judgment seat of CHRIST”.  This judgment will judge our actions and works as we have lived in these mortal bodies.  And determine our rewards or lack thereof.  Your salvation WILL NOT, I repeat WILL NOT DEPEND ON YOUR WORKS.  That decision was made when you accepted JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOUR.   I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJV) ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ¹³ Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. ¹⁴ If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. ¹⁵ If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

For the lost person, you will face the “White Throne Judgment”.  It is found in Revelation 20:11-14 (KJV)¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.  ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.  ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

This judgment will be the judgment that one receives after he/she rejects JESUS CHRIST as their SAVIOUR.  It is determined the moment one chooses not to believe and accept JESUS CHRIST as their SAVIOUR.  John 3:18 (KJV) ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The Bible is very specific about what GOD will do with those who reject HIS son.  This judgment will occur after one dies.

The final method of  this judgment is Fire:

The name of this place is called Hell:  Matthew 23:33 (KJV) ³³ Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?  is constantly enlarging itself:   Isaiah 5:14 (KJV) ¹⁴ Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

It is an eternal death caused by fire (which means you will burn forever and ever!):  Revelation 19:20 (KJV) ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

which was created by GOD for the Devil and his angels:  Matthew 25:41 (KJV) ⁴¹ Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

It is described in several ways as:

a Furnace of Fire, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth:  Matthew 13:42 (KJV) ⁴² And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  Matthew 13:50 (KJV) ⁵⁰ And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  …… and torment will occur…. Revelation 14:10 (KJV) ¹⁰ The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

a Lake of Fire:  Revelation 20:15 (KJV) ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

• with Fire and Brimstone:  Revelation 14:10 (KJV) ¹⁰ The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

an Unquenchable fire where it worm dies not:  Mark 9:44 (KJV) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

a Devouring Fire:  Isaiah 33:14 (KJV) ¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

• where you will have all your senses, like sight…. Luke 16:23 (KJV) ²³ And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
• speech , hearing, touch, taste,….Luke 16:24-26 (KJV)²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

In the Bible, Jesus speaks that it would be better to go thru life without a limb (leg arm,hand,etc.) than to go there:  Matthew 18:8 (KJV) ⁸ Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.  Mark 9:45 (KJV) ⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

But dear friend, you can escape this horrible judgment….  JESUS made a way of escape for you through HIM!!!  COME TO JESUS DEAR FRIEND!!!

Here is what you need to do to escape…..

• Realize that you are a sinner and that you are in need of a SAVIOUR.  That JESUS CHRIST cared enough for you to DIE for YOU!!!  Romans 5:6, 8 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.    We are all sinners…. Romans 3:23 (KJV) ²³ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  The definition of a sinner is: somebody who commits sin: somebody who commits a sin or who habitually does wrong, 1. One that sins or does wrong; a transgressor. 2. A person who sins; transgressor, person who commits moral wrongs. 
• The wages for this sinful life is death, as listed above:  Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
• Confess this to GOD from your heart,  that you know you are a sinner, and ask HIM to forgive you…   Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  and ask HIM into your heart as LORD and SAVIOUR of your life…..  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ….
• Dear friend if you have done these steps, as true and honestly as you can…. Welcome to the family of GOD.  Please drop me a e-mail at jacobsmom8@frontier.com, helpstracts@hotmail.com, or scripturalthoughts@gmail.com so that we can send you some information about beginning your life in JESUS and  rejoice with you……
