Is it the God of God blessing or the God of Judgment in the Protestant Church?
The church advertises that God is the god who gives blessings. So God thinks of him as a person who gives love, grace, and blessings. This is because there are various stories in the Bible that God blesses people.
However, it is said that when Jesus comes back at the end of the world, the world will perish and be judged. Isn't something weird? When God, who gives blessings, talks about the end of the world.
The reason why the blessing should include destruction is not because the world is no longer rewritten and has to be broken and started all over again, but the Bible speaks of a new earth and a new sky for the completion of the kingdom of God.
Usually, in the human world, the end of God's world can be scary and scary because they overturn the world through civil wars or coups, establish a new order, use violence to remove political opponents, use violence, and use illegal methods, but say they have established justice. And that's true too. Because the referee is waiting for the unbeliever. It can be a really threatening, terrifying warning and intimidation.
Fortunately, however, no one knows when the world will end. So you don't have to pay too much attention. However, there are people who wait for the end of the world and hope that God's righteousness will be realized quickly and that all the bad guys will be punished.
The Meaning of the End of the World
The Bible says that evil will be judged and justice will be established at the end of the world. This means that the world's anxiety and suffering are over and God's righteousness is fully revealed.
It also means the beginning of a new creation. It is a promise that the new sky and the new earth will open and the kingdom of God will be completed. And Jesus will come back and judge, and establish the kingdom of God.
This eschatological faith warns those who believe in it and those who do not believe in their wishes.
God did not actually initialize once or twice. Of course, although it is a different concept from the end of the world, there are many biblical stories that show how terrifying God's righteousness is.
1. Adam and Eve
When Adam and Eve eat the fruit of good and evil, Adam and Eve are punished for living and dying if they suffer, and are also expelled from the Garden of Eden.
2. Noah's Ark
Seeing that the world is full of human sins and that his thoughts are only evil, there is an incident in which he vomits Noah to make an ark and causes a great flood to kill animals and plants on earth.
3. Fall of Israel
Although it is not the destruction of the entire earth, it is the destruction of the Israeli people, especially chosen through Abraham. It is an Israeli people who chose and raised them. However, the Israelites were also a series of disappointments. The record is the Old Testament.
They are really obedient and whine grossly. Still, he did not give up and spent many years, but Israel eventually perishes. (722 BC)
And in 1945, after World War II, the German-occupied Empire's colonies became independent, restoring the land of Israel by the United Nations in 1947.
However, this restored land of Israel has been resisted by Palestinian resistance, an ethnic group that already inhabited, and has not maintained peace until today and is fighting through terrorism. The Palestinians, backed by neighboring countries, engage in endless resistance and terrorism, and Israel persecutes them with violence or isolation.
Conclusion
Today God gives blessings, but we must remember the trust that judges. So, those who say they came out to be blessed by the church should remember the God who judges, and those who came to the church knowing the God of judgment should keep in mind that they are not the only ones who judge, and should have faith that is not too biased to one side.
