It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God. And since it begins with us, what will happen to people who don’t obey God’s good news?Scripture says,“ Suppose it is hard for godly people to be saved. Then what will happen to ungodly people and sinners?”( Proverbs 11:31)

Brothers and sisters, don’t find fault with one another. If you do, you will be judged. And the Judge is standing at the door!

And let us not give up meeting together. Some are in the habit of doing this. Instead, let us encourage one another with words of hope. Let us do this even more as you see Christ’s return approaching.What if we keep sinning on purpose? What if we do it even after we know the truth? Then there is no offering for our sins.All we can do is to wait in fear for God to judge. His blazing fire will burn up his enemies.Suppose someone did not obey the law of Moses. And suppose two or three witnesses made charges against them. That person would die without mercy.People who deserve even more punishment include those who have hated the Son of God. They include people who have said no to him. They include people who have treated as unholy the blood of the covenant that makes them holy. They also include people who have disrespected the Holy Spirit who brings God’s grace. Don’t you think people like this should be punished more than anyone else?We know the God who said,“ I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back.”( Deuteronomy 32:35) Scripture also says,“ The Lord will judge his people.”( Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14)It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.Remember those earlier days after you received the light. You remained strong in a great battle that was full of suffering.Sometimes people spoke badly about you in front of others. Sometimes you were treated badly. At other times you stood side by side with people being treated like this.You suffered along with people in prison. When your property was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew that God had given you better and more lasting things.So don’t throw away your bold faith. It will bring you rich rewards.You need to be faithful. Then you will do what God wants. You will receive what he has promised.“ In just a little while, he who is coming will come. He will not wait any longer.”

I am the Lord. So I will say what I want to. And it will come true when I want it to. In your days I will do everything I say I will. But you people always refuse to obey me,’ announces the Lord and King.”A message from the Lord came to me. The Lord said,“ Son of man, the Israelites are saying,‘ The vision Ezekiel sees won’t come true for many years. He is prophesying about a time that is a long way off.’“ So tell them,‘ The Lord and King says,“ Everything I say will come true. It will happen when I want it to,” announces the Lord and King.’ ”

“‘ The day for me to punish you is here! It is here! Death has arrived. The time is ripe for you to be judged. Your pride has grown so much that you will be destroyed.Your mean and harmful acts have become like a rod. I will use it to punish those who do evil. None of them will be left. None of their wealth or anything of value will remain.“‘ The time has come! The day has arrived! I will soon pour out my great anger on the whole crowd of you. Do not let the buyer be happy. Do not let the seller be sad.
