The Making of the Earth Glad

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we saw how God is judging the earth and in the past days we meditated on how he manifests as the one who judges all the people in the earth. 

My dear people, the other important thing that we must know is that the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. House of God means it shows those who are saved. That is, those who have not left unrighteousness completely God judges them with righteousness.

I Corinthians 6: 1 – 4 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 

Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 

If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

In this manner, God’s words are being told by Apostle Paul that is, I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. We see that he says that Why do you not rather accept wrong and Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! 

Therefore, 1 Corinthians 6: 9, 10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

In the things that are mentioned in the verses above, our Lord God is telling us that we should not walk like how we walked before we accepted God. In the past days, in the time when we were under the bondage of sin (Egypt) we did these things. After we have been saved by God again, if such things remain in our soul, such people are being called as Earth.

This is because, 1 Corinthians 6: 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Therefore, we must be always be watchful and careful in all things.

Isaiah 45: 8 “Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it.

My dear people, let us meditate upon the above-mentioned verse and let us analyze and know ourselves. In our lives if we do not truthfully follow righteousness, justice, statues, laws, commandments and the things pertaining to God, let us now itself once again confess our sins and if we will submit ourselves completely to God, God will definitely give us the fruit of salvation and will let righteousness also spring up together. 

Isaiah 45: 11 – 13 Thus says the Lord, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.

I have made the earth And created man on it. I—My hands—stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.

I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward,” Says the Lord of hosts.

My dear people, the one who created us is our God the Father, the one who does his deeds within us. That deed is that he creates man. That man is our new man (inner man). God is making righteousness to increase in it. He stretches out the heavens and he is commanding the hosts. That is our soul is being filled with God’s glory. The crowd of holy people will enter into them with glory. Then, according to the righteousness that we have done, God raising up the dead soul within us is inside the inner man – our soul. God raises it up and directs all its ways.

After that, he builds the city of Zion in our soul and without price or reward he sets our soul which is in exile to go free.

That is why, in the New Testament, before our Lord Jesus Christ came, to prepare the way for him, God is sending John the Baptist into this world. In this manner, in our lives when we see a new change, our soul will become glad and when our soul which has become glad does God’s will in all things and if we obey, God will rejoice in us due to the deeds that he has done and it will be a reason for us also to rejoice.

That is why in Psalms 96: 11 – 13 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;

Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord.

God judges the earth and directs us in the correct path.

My dear people, we will meditate about sea later.

God judges us, who are the earth and if he does not correct us, we will all be destroyed in the eternal destruction. If God is judging us, if we will correct ourselves according to God’s word and truth we will be delivered from the eternal destruction. 

If we will correct ourselves in this manner, and if we will make ourselves holy according to the truth Isaiah 26: 20, 21 Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past.

For behold, the Lord comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain

If we are in this manner, our soul will live. That is why in Isaiah 26: 19 Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead.

In this manner, the soul which is clinging to the dust and is dead, is made to go towards Canaan by God.

Ephesians 5: 14 – 17 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

My dear people, in these days let us realize a lot, submit ourselves and pray.

May the Lord bless us all.
