Proverbs 29:1 He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
Ezekiel 24:13 In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed, You will not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore, Till I have caused My fury to rest upon you.
So when is God coming to seek this fruit from men? Is it at the end of the age? NO. According to Jesus’s two illustrations in John 15 and Luke 13, this check is happening here and now. There will be other checks and judgements at the end of this age, like the one of the TARES, but this one is an ongoing one, happening here.
“Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none.”
What you must understand is that, There is such a thing as, ‘Fullness of Iniquity’ in the scriptures. When the clouds be full of rain, it empties itself. This is why God said in Ezekiel, ” Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed, You will not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore, Till I have caused My fury to rest upon you. “
So the Father will remove every branch in the vine that does not bear fruits after its time. But the ones bearing fruits He will prune. So the spirit cries out, “O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. HOW LONG SHALL THY VAIN THOUGHTS LODGE WITHIN THEE?” (Jeremiah 4:14, KJV)
Beloved, UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DON’T HAVE FOREVER – WHATSOEVER YOU HAVE TO DO, DO IT NOW. Hallelujah!
GRACEFUL MORNING
