We The Redeemed

“For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” (Revelation 5:9)

The Throne Room of Heaven is where the following proclamation is made by all those believers who freely gave their hearts to Jesus Christ—prior to the start of the seven year end of days period known as The Tribulation.

It's the Song of the Redeemed.

And it says that they were redeemed by the blood of Christ out of every tribe, tongue, and people, and nation.

It's impossible to miss it, if you are reading and following the flow of the Book, that these redeemed are in the throne room of Heaven before the Lamb—Jesus Christ—begins to open the seven seals, as described in Revelation 6:1.

"So what?" you may ask.

Namely this; you do not want to go through the Tribulation period—particularly the last three and a half years, known as the Great Tribulation. 

Of this period of time Jesus said:

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved.” (Matthew  24:21-22)

Imagine, throughout history, throughout all of the greatest times of war, famine, and death, a time that is worse than anything that has ever happened, or ever will happen. That is very scary to think about. Jesus Himself said that is what is coming in the Last Days.

One friend of mine casually shrugs it off by saying, "Oh well, I guess I'm going to be one of those people who go to Hell." 

"But you don't have to go to Hell" is what I always reply to my friend.

Do you ever think about it? About what Christ Himself said of the coming Day of Judgement—about how all those who rejected Him will be thrown alive into a lake of fire?

It's no joke my friends. Hell is real and the Day of Judgement is coming, and probably sooner than you may think.

About 2,000 years ago, Paul the Apostle said:

“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,  because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31)

"Repent." What does that mean? It literally means to change your mind and think differently afterwards.

"Change my mind about what?"

About the fact that you have sinned and broken God's laws. About the fact that you will never be good enough to work your way into Heaven on your own merit. About the fact that Jesus died on the Cross for you, but you have to choose to believe that truth and accept it. About the fact that you are bound for Hell if you continue to reject Jesus Christ. About the fact that Jesus has demonstrated His love for you but you have done nothing but push Him away.

Please hear the true words of Christ:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” (John 3:16-20) 

Here, Jesus clearly lays out both the love and mercy of God, and the judgment of God.

You need to make a decision about Jesus Christ today...

Tomorrow may be too late.
