Jesus The All Seeing Yet Merciful God


     Notice the picture above of an entrance to a hidden room behind a stone wall. Today we learn that no matter where anyone hides on this earth, the Lord Jesus sees everything. If you realized that the Lord Jesus was constantly watching you, would you continue to do certain sinful things in the dark even though no person was watching you. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will decide to daily live holy lives at all times even when no person is watching. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. James 1:21 says Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity (our past sins) of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

     Ezekiel saw the hidden sins of the people and encouraged everyone to live holy every day. Brother Bob asks everyone to stop sinning because Jesus sees everything we do in hidden secret places. If you have sinned in a dark, hidden, secret place, Jesus is merciful and will forgive you if you get saved. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Proverbs 28:13 says He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. According to this bible verse, it is not enough to just confess your sins to receive mercy. You must also forsake and stop doing any type of sin to receive mercy.

     A battle is going on between the flesh and the spirit. Christians must daily crucify the flesh to live holy and walk in the spirit. Every day tell the devil I am crucified with Jesus Christ and with Jesus' stripes I am healed. Jesus is not just a choice of religion. Jesus is your very life and survival. If a person yields to his flesh, he will die. If a person yields to Jesus, he will live. I pray in Jesus name all those who forevermore read this bible study choose Jesus and live while they deny their flesh. A scripture that saved Brother Bob from sinning is Romans 8:13 that says For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. And the scripture that proves Jesus is life is 1 John 5:11 that says And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

     Ezekiel looked through a hole in a stone wall like the one pictured above and saw the sins of the people who could not hide from the Lord Jesus. We should stop sinning and live holy every day because the Lord Jesus like Ezekiel sees everything. Ezekiel 8:6 says He said furthermore unto me, Son of Man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. And He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said He unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And He said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

     Ezekiel 8:12 further describes the sins that Ezekiel saw and says Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say the Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth. He said unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz (a Syrian God). Then said He unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. 

     And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Ezekiel 8:18 pronounces God's judgment against these sinners and says Therefore, will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.


     Notice the picture above of a hidden secret place inhabited by an unsaved fearful man fleeing from the Lord Jesus. But the Lord Jesus is everywhere and omniscient. When Jesus returns to this earth to rule and reign with a rod of iron during the millennium, the Lord Jesus will be exalted and men shall be humbled while they worship Jesus. Isaiah 2:17 says And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols He shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 

     Revelation 6:15 restates Isaiah's vision saying And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

      Escape the great day of the Lord Jesus' wrath during the seven year great tribulation. Get saved today and get caught up in the rapture before the seven year great tribulation on this earth. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Don't be like Pharoah and say tomorrow take away my sin. One more day with the frogs in the bedchambers, ovens, and kneadingtroughs. Don't choose misery and keep sinning like Pharoah. Instead get saved, stop sinning, and receive peace today with the Lord Jesus. Exodus 8:9 says And Moses said unto Pharoah, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God.
 

     Notice the picture above of the prophet Nathan rebuking King David openly and saying Thou art the man. David thought he could hide his sin of getting Bathsheba pregnant by killing her husband Uriah the Hittite. But the Lord Jesus saw David's secret sins in the dark and rebuked David in the open. David suffered four-fold vengeance because of his sin of adultery with Bathsheba and lost 4 children (Bathsheba's first baby, Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah). But the good news is that when David repented, the Lord Jesus had mercy on David and allowed Bathsheba to give birth to Solomon who later became the king of Israel. 

     The story about the picture above is at 2 Samuel 12:7 and says And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.   
   
     Jesus sees everything we do and saw all of David's sinful deeds. Matthew 10:26 says Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Proverbs 15:3 says The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Hebrews 4:13 says Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. Jeremiah 23:24 says Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord, Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
   
     If Jesus is everywhere and sees everything, deny your flesh and stop sinning. Psalm 139:8 tells us that Jesus is everywhere and sees everything. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

     Don't be afraid of the dark because the Lord Jesus is the light in the thickest darkness. 2 Chronicles 6:1 says Then said Solomon, The Lord hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness. Jesus said at John 8:12 I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Psalm 139:11 says If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Revelation 21:23 says And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb (Jesus) is the light thereof.

     When christians arrive at the kingdom of God, there will never be any more darkness or night. In the kingdom of God no one will ever get tired, have to sleep, or see any darkness. There will always be daylight, peace, strength, and joy forever. Revelation 22:5 says And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. Isaiah 60:19 says The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord (Jesus) shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord (Jesus) shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
