God's Wrath Against Mankind

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

How apropriate are these scriptures for the times we are living in, its like reading the headlines of our daily papers. And what some may see as normal activity or behaviour Jehovah views with disgust.
Envy is so normal, its actually promoted by the media, they display the wealth of the elite to create envious people. Ruthlessness is looked on as strength, Women exchanging natural relations for unatural ones, nearly every music video promotes young girls and women kissing, its viewed as harmless and just a bit of fun. God haters, they hate to hear the truths of the bible and prefer to worship the created than God himself.

The reason so many people live like this is because they dont know any better. Look at the Ninevites,not even knowing ther left hand from their right... and Jah then told them what He would do and they repented. This is no surprise as the issue of the tree was in part can man know good or bad without Jah educating us. Without Jah somehow telling people,how will they know.

The case of the Ninevites highlights Jahs great feeling for people while this issue is being settled. His prophet wanted to sit by and watch the "fireworks" of their destruction. Obviously he didnt understand Jahs feelings for them and was only interested in judging them as being wicked and seeing them killed.

Jah saw something differant..that ignornace produces acts that are digusting,but this only appears like this to us because we have Jahs words to educate us and see these acts as wrong. People in the world are like the Ninevites...they just dont know their left hand from their right..literally.

To me,this is one of the greatest reasons why, if the 42 months are right,it makes more sence than 1914. Jahs prophets will roam the earth and make it clear what Jah wants...and based on this new awakening,they will make a decission. The Ninevites repented when they knew better and why the great crowd will be exactly that. So many will then change. When they know better,they will do better.

Thank you JD,
You give me hope again, im studying with someone on-line, been trying to explain to people on you tube about Gods word, but some how its like they just dont want to be accountable to a creator, an energy force perhaps, but they dont even believe the devi exists..If the 1914 account is correct they wouldnt stand a chance, but if there is this other preaching work the 42 months, then this would give these individuals the chance. But how does this fit in with, what we believe being based on faith just?
