Romans 2:12

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Romans 2:12

12 For [gar] as many as [hosos] have sinned [hamartano] without law [anomos] shall [apollumi] also [kai] perish [apollumi] without law [anomos]: and [kai] as many as [hosos] have sinned [hamartano] in [en] the law [nomos] shall be judged [krino] by [dia] the law [nomos];   KJV-Interlinear

12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.   ESV

Sin is a transgression of a rule of conduct.  It is not merely a violation of some law or of some social no-no, or some criminal act, but includes anything that violates any link to God.  Thus indifference toward learning doctrine is in effect a sin, which needless to say, leads to more sins.

God does not play favorites, but deals with everyone based on His righteousness and His justice.  And in this verse, when addressing the issues of gentiles or those who did not grow up with access to the Mosaic Law, and therefore had no knowledge of it, they still are under a natural law of right and wrong.

Not knowing the ten-commandments is no excuse for wrong behavior.

Any sin is a transgression of something that is right and good, as defined by God.

So, a gentile or a pagan sort of person, if you will permit the term, who has never heard of Moses or of Jews or of the Bible and such, is still bound to proper behavior.  And improper behavior will still be judged.

They will not be saved due to ignorance of Christ, because they did whatever they did, as a result of conscious decisions they made.  They sinned and therefore they are condemned.

All of the world is evidence of a deity and a designer and everyone is bound to either want to know about God, or they are indifferent.  Those who want to know, will be brought to the gospel or the gospel will be brought to them, one way or another.  Thus missionaries bring doctrine to them, or they in some way, perhaps through slavery or through some other means, were brought to the gospel.  All things work together for good.  Even bad things can have a good result.

So, do not think that a bad thing is always bad and only bad.  Salvation is far better than any human insult.

And conversely for those who are knowledgeable of the Law, then their judgment is based on their conscious adherence to or indifference of those same written rules.

In other words, the Law demonstrates mans inability to keep the Law, and therefore the need of a savior.

Indifference toward that principle, while trying to keep an otherwise unkeepable Law, gains you no favor with God.  Likewise ignoring the mandate of faith for salvation, due to obstinence or whatever attitude you have, gains you nothing either.

In all cases, Gods righteousness and justice are the unbreakable rule, and all are judged accordingly.

In addition, the word for judged, ‘krino,’ also means loss.

And in that regard, when a person is a believer, but disregards Gods spiritual process in favor of their own design, then the resultant reward of spiritual growth is forfeit, because there is in fact no spiritual growth, no spiritual production, nothing legitimate in the spiritual sense.

Believers are still bound by Gods rules and cannot substitute their own rules or beliefs simply because they are more convenient or seem right.

Each believer is still bound to confess in order to gain fellowship.  Each believer is still bound to a daily study through instruction.  Each believer is still bound to learning and using and understanding, the principles that they are taught.  Each believer is still bound to apply spiritual principles to their life, like truth, integrity, tithing, giving and so forth.

Disregard of these principles results in loss.  Adherence to these principles results in reward.

God is fair and equitable with all.  God does not change when the times change.  Bible doctrine is immutable.

Romans 2:11

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Romans 2:11

11 For [gar] there is [esti] no [ou] respect of persons [prosopolepsia] with [para] God [theos].   KJV-Interlinear

11 For God shows no partiality.   ESV

Unlike people in this world, God does not show favoritism for anyone for any reason.  The word for respect, ‘prosopolepsia,’ means partiality or favorites.

And with respect to people, there are only two major categories of people, believers and unbelievers.  Each category has its own set of rules with which God deals.

As for unbelievers, the issue is faith in Christ. 

As for believers, the issue is obedience to the mandates of God with regard to the development and adherence to, the spiritual life.

God deals with everyone on the same level playing field.

Righteousness and Justice are never compromised.  God makes no exceptions for anyone. God does not excuse anyone from the fundamental rules of the spiritual life.

God does not allow anyone to make up their own set of rules.

You are either in compliance with Gods rules or you are not.

And by the way, God decides who is or who is not in compliance, not you.

You have the responsibility to know where you stand, and to find out where you stand, and to learn so that you will know one way or another.  God makes it all clear but that has to be learned, which of course depends on you.

So pretending or ignoring what is expected of you, and trying to do your own thing, so to speak, will not help you.

It will not help you get out of punishment.  It will not help you get reward.

Sincerity or good intentions, or some argument of yours that you are impressed by, won’t work.

God is fair, God has rules, and God makes them available for knowing.

Isaiah 24:1

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Isaiah 24:1

1 Behold, the LORD [Yahovah] maketh the earth ['erets] empty [baqaq], and maketh it waste [balaq], and turneth [`avah] it upside down [paniym], and scattereth abroad [puwts] the inhabitants [yashab] thereof.   KJV-Interlinear

1 Behold, the LORD will empty the earth and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.   ESV

Since the thirteenth chapter, the description of the ultimate result of the evil of humanity, which includes all of the indifference and pretense directed toward Christ, will be the systematic and violent dismantling of the entire world.  This prophecy series, has been a long time known and a long time ignored, even scoffed at by generation after generation.

The word earth, denotes not just a given region, but the entire planet.

The world will be made empty and made waste and thus will be depopulated.  All wealth will be destroyed.  All production will be halted.  All government will be dismantled.  All of society will cease.  All cultures, all historical elements, everything that humanity holds near and dear to itself, will end.

Obviously this has not yet occurred in history.  It remains future and is assigned to the Tribulation or the final days and months and years of history. The final seven years to be exact. And with human history lasting for many thousands of years thus far, those final seven years will be dramatic to beyond the extreme, and extremely fast moving.

Turned upside down, means just that.  The entire world will be disfigured.  Mountains will collapse, islands will vanish, the geography of entire continents will change dramatically.  Survival for anyone will be virtually impossible, except for those few, very few, who will look to Christ for their deliverance at the second advent.

The inhabitants of the entire world, will be scattered. The word for scattered, ‘puwts,’ means to break, to dash, to shake in to pieces, cast (abroad), disperse (selves), drive, retire, scatter (abroad), spread abroad.  In other words all who attempt to remain where they are for safety will be not be able to do so.  As the earth shakes and rolls and transforms, all will be systematically ripped from wherever they are, and sent to places with total and complete helplessness.  Needless to say, there will be no survivors among the unbelieving, nor among the indifferent despite their pretended or weak faith.

Isaiah 23:18

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Isaiah 23:18

18 And her merchandise [cachar] and her hire ['ethnan] shall be holiness [qodesh] to the LORD [Yahovah]: it shall not be treasured ['atsar] nor laid up [chacan]; for her merchandise [cachar] shall be for them that dwell [yashab] before [paniym] the LORD [Yahovah], to eat ['akal] sufficiently [sob`ah], and for durable [`athiyq] clothing [makacceh].   KJV-Interlinear

18 Her merchandise and her wages will be holy to the LORD. It will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the LORD.   ESV

Tyre, represents the ultimate in corruption in economics and secular life that will one day be destroyed within the space of one reign of an evil ruler.  That will all occur within the space of the seven years of the Tribulation.  This all following the pattern of its history way back when it was destroyed by Babylon, restored under Persia, after seventy years, and then taken again by Alexander.

At the end of the seven year rule of the anti-christ, for which it is completed, we know that Christ will return in the Second Advent to completely obliterate the world and the evil that is within it.  But He will also rescue many believers who will have survived and of whom will become the initial population of Gods Kingdom here on the earth, which we call the Millennium.

With the world virtually destroyed, that small population will need something to live on, and those resources will come out of whatever remains from the destroyed world, Eze. 39.  And so they will live for seven years on those resources left behind, scattered on the battlefields, and so forth.

All of the logistical resources and supplies that had been intended for evil, will become the resources for the initial years of the Millennium.
