TAKE UP A LAMENTATION — HAVE YOU CONSIDERED? GOD'S ANGER AT SIN

from March 2, 2017 

This morning in prayer I was directed to read Lamentation 2. I will provide it in its entirety at the end of this post. What was also brought to memory was a previous post entitled, "A TRUMPET: To the Wise and to the Foolish: Take Up a Lamentation," for which the link is provided.

The Word of the Lord:

Beloved daughter, guard not this word, for before it is complete, it shall manifest. Long have I suffered for my children to come and seek the paths of righteousness. I have instructed in my word, seek ye first, as a priority, the kingdom of God and it's righteousness and all else would be added. But what my children have done is moved their feet from the path that leads to the cross and changed my words, and fashioned gods to themselves that look nothing like Me, beloved. Sacrifice is but a byword for they seek pleasures always and fill themselves with what cannot satisfy. 

The whole of Scripture is the will of God, my revealed will performed in the life of Yahushua, the embodiment of the word of God. How cylical? Yet they see it not. They worship a stranger for the image of my son is marred among them. Who do they say He is, beloved? He is a liar, a thief and a murderer? Does he envy and covet? Is my Son full of pride and Himself? Did He do His will or Mine? 

Foolish ones have they become. My son, Yahushua gave his life – my gift to mankind, for the sin problem of the world, that humanity might see, might know the way back to Me, yet they turn a deaf ear and the blind eye to the truth. Truth? What is it amongst they who say they know it, but are offended by it and despise those who seek after it? Beloved, there is no punishment sufficient for how they sin so expediently against me with no conscience or recourse. So, as they have sown, now they reap. They care not for how they offend and transgress against Me, and lead poor examples for others to follow. The heathen have cause to blaspheme My Name, for they who fail to live according to my ways teach them to do so by their demonstrations. 

So be it. It is settled in heaven. Til they repent — now I must turn away. Destruction of everything not founded in me. Reject the Cornerstone, the Head of the corner, if you may; choose to ignore that the cross is the way if you must, but I WILL NOT CHANGE, says Yahuah. 

You know they will think it to be cruel, beloved. Many will be infuriated, but why, when I instructed you in my word? Now that which I regret; I must perform, is come. My word says that every man shall be rewarded for their doings. I can no longer consequence the innocent and the faithful, nor can we advance with the way of the wayward and the rebellious. Now, that which was held up, is no longer. 

REPENT says the Lord. REPENTANCE now is required. THAT is not negotiable.

Lamentations 2 (KJV)

How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.

8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.

13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.

17 The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.

18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.

19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.

22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
