Please share to everyone!!! WHY DOES GOD DELAY THE FINAL JUDGMENT/DESTRUCTION TO THIS SINFUL WORLD!!! (Bakit Hindi Pa Ginagawa Ng Diyos ang Huling Paghatol/ Pagwasak Sa Makasalanang Mundo!!!) (Refer to Holy Bible Verses: 2 Peter 3:1-18) May the love, peace and endless blessings from our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus be with all of us. Our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us in The Holy Bible that He does not yet execute The Final Judgment/Destruction of this sinful world because He is giving every person a chance to Repent or to do a complete surrender to Him (2 Peter 3:9). God is continuously waiting on all of us to Surrender to Him now because He does not want any person to suffer Eternal Punishment in Hell, however it is a persons choice to suffer punishment in hell if he will continuously reject Gods call to Repent. Repentance or complete surrender to God is the first step to our Spiritual Salvation & restoration of our Eternal Life. Repentance is the first fruit of our Faith in God. 2 Pedro 3:1-17 Ang Salita ng Diyos (SND)/Tagalog Ang Araw ng Panginoon 1 Mga minamahal, ito ang ikalawang sulat ko sa inyo. Sa dalawang sulat na ito ay ginigising ko ang inyong malinis na pag-iisip sa pagpapaala-ala sa inyo. 2 Ito ay upang lagi ninyong alalahanin ang mga salitang sinabi ng mga banal na propeta noong una pa at ang mga utos ng Panginoon at Tagapagligtas sa pamamagitan namin na mga apostol. 3 Dapat ninyong malaman muna na sa mga huling araw ay darating ang mga manunuya na lumalakad ayon sa sarili nilang masamang pagnanasa. 4 Kanilang sasabihin: Nasaan ang katuparan ng pangako ng kaniyang pagparito? Ito ay sapagkat natulog na ang ating mga ninuno ngunit ang lahat ay nananatili pa ring gayon simula pa ng paglalalang. 5 Ito ay sapagkat sadya nilang nilimot na sa pamamagitan ng Diyos ay nagkaroon ng kalangitan noon pang una at ang lupa ay lumitaw mula sa tubig at sa ilalim ng tubig. 6 Sa pamamagitan din nito, ang sanlibutan na nagunaw ng tubig nang panahong iyon ay nalipol. 7 Sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Diyos ang kalangitan ngayon at ang lupa ay iningatang nakatalaga para sa apoy at para sa araw ng paghuhukom at pagkalipol ng mga taong hindi kumikilala sa Diyos. 8 Ngunit mga minamahal, huwag ninyong kalimutan ito: Sa Panginoon ang isang araw ay tulad sa isang libong taon at ang isang libong taon ay tulad ng isang araw. 9 Ang katuparan ng pangako ay hindi inaantala ng Panginoon tulad ng inaakala ng iba. Siya ay mapagtiis sa atin. Hindi niya nais na ang sinuman ay mapahamak kundi ang lahat ay magsisi. 10 Ngunit ang araw ng Panginoon ay darating tulad ng magnanakaw sa gabi. Sa araw na iyon ang kalangitan ay mapaparam na may malakas na ugong. Ang lahat ng mga sangkap na bumubuo ng sanlibutan ay masusunog at mawawasak. Ang lupa at ang mga bagay na ginawa na naroroon ay mapupugnaw. 11 Yamang ang lahat ng bagay na ito ay mawawasak, ano ngang pagkatao ang nararapat sa inyo? Dapat kayong mamuhay sa kabanalan at pagkamaka-Diyos. 12 Hintayin ninyo at madaliin ang pagdating ng araw ng Diyos. Sa araw na iyon ang langit ay masusunog at mawawasak. Ang lahat ng mga sangkap na bumubuo ng sanlibutan ay matutunaw sa matinding init. 13 Ngunit ayon sa pangako ng Diyos tayo ay naghihintay ng bagong langit at bagong lupa. Ang katuwiran ay nananahan doon. 14 Kaya nga, mga minamahal, yamang hinihintay natin ang mga bagay na ito, sikapin ninyong masumpungan niya tayong walang dungis at walang kapintasan at mapayapa sa kaniyang pagdating. 15 Inyong ariin na ang pagtitiis ng ating Panginoon ay kaligtasan. Ito rin ang isinulat sa inyo ng minamahal na kapatid nating si Pablo ayon sa karunungang kaloob sa kaniya. 16 Gayundin naman sa lahat ng kaniyang sulat, sinasalita niya ang mga bagay na ito. Ilan sa mga ito ay mahirap unawain at binigyan ng maling kahulugan ng mga hindi naturuan at hindi matatag. Ganito rin ang kanilang ginagawa sa ibang kasulatan sa ikapapahamak ng kanilang sarili. 17 Kaya nga, kayo mga minamahal, dahil alam na ninyo ang mga bagay na ito noon pa, mag-ingat kayo baka kayo mahulog sa inyong matatag na kalalagayan at mailigaw ng kamalian ng mga walang pagkilala sa kautusan ng Diyos. 18 Lumago kayo sa biyaya at kaalaman ng ating Panginoon at Tagapagligtas na si Jesucristo. Sa kaniya ang kapurihan ngayon at magpakailanman. Siya nawa! 2 Peter 3:1-18 Amplified Bible (AMP) 1 Beloved, I am now writing you this second letter. In [both of] them I have stirred up your unsullied (sincere) mind by way of remembrance, 2 That you should recall the predictions of the holy (consecrated, dedicated) prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior [given] through your apostles (His special messengers). 3 To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers (mockers) will come in the last days with scoffing, [people who] walk after their own fleshly desires 4 And say, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the forefathers fell asleep, all things have continued exactly as they did from the beginning of creation. 5 For they willfully overlook and forget this [fact], that the heavens [came into] existence long ago by the word of God, and the earth also which was formed out of water and by means of water, 6 Through which the world that then [existed] was deluged with water and perished.(A) 7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people. 8 Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.(B) 9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish (pass away) with a thunderous crash, and the [[a]material] elements [of the universe] will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up. 11 Since all these things are thus [b]in the process of being dissolved, what kind of person ought [each of] you to be [in the meanwhile] in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities, 12 While you wait and earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the day of God by reason of which the flaming heavens will be dissolved, and the [[c]material] elements [of the universe] will flare and melt with fire?(C) 13 But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness (uprightness, freedom from sin, and right standing with God) is to abide.(D) 14 So, beloved, since you are expecting these things, be eager to be found by Him [at His coming] without spot or blemish and at peace [in serene confidence, [d]free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts]. 15 And consider that the long-suffering of our Lord [[e]His slowness in avenging wrongs and judging the world] is salvation ([f]that which is conducive to the soul’s safety), even as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the spiritual insight given him, 16 Speaking of this as he does in all of his letters. There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own [g]utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures. 17 Let me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of mind]. 18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and [h]recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him [be] glory (honor, majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)! What is a TRUE FAITH IN GOD? A TRUE FAITH IN GOD is God’s spiritual power in our heart through the help of The Holy Spirit (John 16:13, 14:17, 26) that gives us power to do the following: 1. To believe in God and in His Words: The Holy Bible without any doubt, although we do not yet fully know God and understand His Word (John 3:16-21, Hebrews 11:1-40). 2. To do the Will of God and obey His Words: The Holy Bible without any doubt and hesitation, although our human understanding does not yet fully understand His motive and purpose (John 3:16-21, Hebrews 11:1-40, James 2:14-26). Our Faith in God is developed and becomes powerful by continuous listening, studying and meditating in the Word of God: The Holy Bible (Romans 1:17, 10:17; John 5:39-40, 6:63, 15:1-10) It is the power of our Faith in God that mobilizes our freedom of choice to obey God and bear the following spiritual fruits in our life: 1. REPENT (refer below: about “REPENTANCE”) 2. Undergo SPIRITUAL REBIRTH (John 3:5). 3. Overcome/win our Baptism of Fire. (Please see explanation below) What is REPENTANCE? REPENTANCE means to be “BORN OF WATER” or Complete Surrender to God, and to leave our sinful life or Human Will (John 3:3-8). It is a spiritual act on the part of man to accept God’s gift: “SPIRITUAL SALVATION, ETERNAL LIFE and restoration of being sons/daughters of God who will join Him in “THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN OR THE HOLY CITY: THE NEW JERUSALEM”(Revelation 21:6-8), that our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished through His death on the cross (John 3:16-21). When a sinner REPENTS and accept His gift of Spiritual Salvation & Eternal Life, God expects him to bear the following fruits in his life (John 15:1-17; Galatians 5:16-23) through the help and guidance of our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ/Holy Spirit: 1. To completely surrender to God (Matthew 3:2,8,11 & 4:17; 6:9-10; John 3:3-8). 2. To do the WILL of GOD (Matthew 6:9-10) and obey His commandments (Matthew 7:21-23). 3. To replace our Human Will and Satan (Galatians 5:16-21) as our god in this sinful world by our ALMIGHTY FATHER OUR LORD JESUS CHIRST, as our new GOD here at the Kingdom of heaven on Earth. 4. To hate, expose and destroy Satan and the territories of darkness or causes of SIN (Ephesians 6:10-18). What is SPIRITUAL REBIRTH? SPIRITUAL REBIRTH means to be “BORN OF SPIRIT” (John 3:5). It is a spiritual action from God that replaces our Human Will or the spirit of Satan which was removed when we REPENT by a SPIRIT OF GOD or THE HOLY SPIRIT. The HOLY SPIRIT within us gives us power live in Faith in God, and in obedience to the WILL OF GOD and live like our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ, this is experienced by a new born again person after our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ baptised him in The Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:49;John 14:15-18; Acts 1:4-5, 2:1-36). Being Born of Spirit or Spiritual Rebirth is Gods work in a sinners heart. What the sinners need to do is to Repent and completely submit to God (Matthew 6:9-10; Romans 12:1-2). It is God who replaces the sinners Human Will or Sinful Heart by a New Heart that is Obedient to The Will of God called The Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 11:19-20). What is Spiritual Growth and Maturity? Our Almighty Father expects us to grow and mature spiritually, in the same way that our physical parents expect us to grow and mature physically. The sign of spiritual growth and maturity is manifested in the following: 1. The Word of God we received is being applied in our daily life. 2. We start to be entrusted of God’s Word and works of The Kingdom of God. 3. We are prepared to face our Baptism of Fire. What is BAPTISM OF FIRE? Our Baptism of Fire are trials and sufferings we experience in our life (Matthew 3:11, 5:10-12; Revelation 21:7; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15) for being a son or daughter of God and doing His Will and Commandments (Matthew 6:9-10). It is a gift or blessing from our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ for being His son or daughter (Matthew 5:10-12, John 1:12, Revelation 21:7). For sinners, false prophets/teachers and Satan and his demons, Baptism of Fire is the suffering in Hell that they will face in judgment if they will not REPENT (Revelation 21:6-8, Matthew 7:19, John 15:6).
