“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” – Ephesians 5:6
When one takes the time to peruse the Bible, one cannot help but notice that Jesus repeatedly warned against deceit (Matthew 24:4).
In Galatians 6:7-8, Scripture makes clear, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
The very works of the flesh that bring the wrath of GOD are exactly what the spirit of the world is advocating and promoting to the people at large, and they do it with smiles on their faces.
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance (disagreement; dissension; discord), emulations (rivalry; desire of superiority), wrath, strife, seditions (rising or raging, rather than an appeasing), heresies, Envying’s, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” -Galatians 5:19-21
The very spirit of the world that promotes the spirit of antichrist, seems to be the reason that so many, who are self-condemned and oppressed, are suffering the wrath of God.
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” -1 John 2:15-18
Let me give you a couple of examples.
The American church fails to preach (Repentance; Acts 20:21) against the sins that man transgresses when it comes to God’s Laws (Exodus 20; Acts 20:21).
The conservatives of today (yesterday’s lawless liberals; Mark 8:15) follow in close pursuit of the American church and promote a system of divide and conquer, which is fed to them by the mainstream media that they say they do not believe in (Micah 6:16) by repeatedly advocating for that which does not exist. And they wonder why they are left confused (Daniel 9:7).
The music industry and the movie industry put up their fallen stars to promote lyrics and immoral agendas that promote murder, fornication, drug, and alcohol use. The people then emulate that to which they have affixed their eyes and ears, and then cannot understand why they are reaping a curse upon themselves and their country (Matthew 6:23).
Conclusion: This is why Jesus said to keep your eye single (Matthew 6:22), and that we are to be fixed upon Him, and Him alone, as the Author and the Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). In doing so, it will not be the wrath of God that one will experience, but rather the blessings.
