The judgment begins with the house of God
\n(Spanish down \/ Espa\u00f1ol abajo)<\/p>\n
1 Peter 4:17 King James Version (KJV)
\n17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?<\/p>\n
Zephaniah 1:12 King James Version (KJV)
\n12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.<\/p>\n
Ezekiel 8 King James Version (KJV)
\n8 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
\n2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
\n3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
\n4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
\n5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
\n6 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.
\n7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
\n8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
\n9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
\n10 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.
\n11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
\n12 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.
\n13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
\n14 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.
\n15 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.
\n16 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.
\n17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
\n18 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.<\/p>\n
Ezekiel 9 King James Version (KJV)
\n9 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
\n2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
\n3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
\n4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
\n5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
\n6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
\n7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
\n8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
\n9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.
\n10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
\n11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.<\/p>\n

We are never alone. We can never put forth the least effort for the advancement of the work of God in our world, but the act thrills through all the universe of heaven and makes us co-laborers with God; united with the heavenly principalities and powers, all our sympathies are absorbed…<\/p>\n
Never are we absent from the mind of God. God is our joy and our salvation. Each of the ancient prophets spoke less for their own time than for ours, so that their prophesying is in force for us. \u201cNow all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.\u201d 1 Corinthians 10:11. \u201cNot unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.\u201d 1 Peter 1:12. The Bible has been your study book. It is well thus, for it is the true counsel of God, and it is the conductor of all the holy influences that the world has contained since its creation. We have the encouraging record that Enoch walked with God. If Enoch walked with God in that degenerate age just prior to the destruction of the world by a flood, we are to receive courage and be stimulated with his example that we need not be contaminated with the world, but amid all its corrupting influences and tendencies, we may walk with God. We may have the mind of Christ.<\/p>\n
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, was ever prophesying the coming of the Lord. This great event had been revealed to him in vision. Abel, though dead, is ever speaking of the blood of Christ which alone can make our offerings and gifts perfect. The Bible has accumulated and bound up together its treasures for this last generation. All the great events and solemn transactions of Old Testament history have been, and are, repeating themselves in the church in these last days…<\/p>\n
God has enriched the world in these last days proportionately with the increase of ungodliness if His people will only lay hold of His priceless gift and bind up their every interest with Him. There should be no cherished idols and we need not dread what will come, but commit the keeping of our souls to God as unto our faithful Creator. He will keep that which is committed to His trust.<\/p>\n

\nEl juicio comienza con la casa de Dios

1 Pedro 4:17 Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA)
\n17 Porque es tiempo de que el juicio comience de la casa de Dios: y si primero comienza por nosotros, \u00bfqu\u00e9 ser\u00e1 el fin de aquellos que no obedecen al evangelio de Dios?<\/p>\n
Sofon\u00edas 1:12 Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA)
\n12 Y ser\u00e1 en aquel tiempo, que yo escudri\u00f1ar\u00e9 \u00e1 Jerusalem con candiles, y har\u00e9 visitaci\u00f3n sobre los hombres que est\u00e1n sentados sobre sus heces, los cuales dicen en su coraz\u00f3n: Jehov\u00e1 ni har\u00e1 bien ni mal.<\/p>\n
Ezequiel 8 Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA)
\n8 Y ACONTECIO en el sexto a\u00f1o, en el mes sexto, \u00e1 los cinco del mes, que estaba yo sentado en mi casa, y los ancianos de Jud\u00e1 estaban sentados delante de m\u00ed, y all\u00ed cay\u00f3 sobre m\u00ed la mano del Se\u00f1or Jehov\u00e1.
\n2 Y mir\u00e9, y he aqu\u00ed una semejanza que parec\u00eda de fuego: desde donde parec\u00edan sus lomos para abajo, fuego; y desde sus lomos arriba parec\u00eda como resplandor, como la vista de \u00e1mbar.
\n3 Y aquella semejanza extendi\u00f3 la mano, y tom\u00f3me por las guedejas de mi cabeza; y el esp\u00edritu me alz\u00f3 entre el cielo y la tierra, y llev\u00f3me en visiones de Dios \u00e1 Jerusalem, \u00e1 la entrada de la puerta de adentro que mira hacia el aquil\u00f3n, donde estaba la habitaci\u00f3n de la imagen del celo, la que hac\u00eda celar.
\n4 Y he aqu\u00ed all\u00ed estaba la gloria del Dios de Israel, como la visi\u00f3n que yo hab\u00eda visto en el campo.
\n5 Y d\u00edjome: Hijo del hombre, alza ahora tus ojos hacia el lado del aquil\u00f3n. Y alc\u00e9 mis ojos hacia el lado del aquil\u00f3n, y he aqu\u00ed al aquil\u00f3n, junto \u00e1 la puerta del altar, la imagen del celo en la entrada.
\n6 D\u00edjome entonces: Hijo del hombre, \u00bfno ves lo que \u00e9stos hacen, las grandes abominaciones que la casa de Israel hace aqu\u00ed, para alejarme de mi santuario? Mas vu\u00e9lvete a\u00fan, y ver\u00e1s abominaciones mayores.
\n7 Y llev\u00f3me \u00e1 la entrada del atrio, y mir\u00e9, y he aqu\u00ed en la pared un agujero.
\n8 Y d\u00edjome: Hijo del hombre, cava ahora en la pared. Y cav\u00e9 en la pared, y he aqu\u00ed una puerta.
\n9 D\u00edjome luego: Entra, y ve las malvadas abominaciones que \u00e9stos hacen all\u00ed.
\n10 Entr\u00e9 pues, y mir\u00e9, y he aqu\u00ed im\u00e1genes de todas serpientes, y animales de abominaci\u00f3n, y todos los \u00eddolos de la casa de Israel, que estaban pintados en la pared alrededor.
\n11 Y delante de ellos estaban setenta varones de los ancianos de la casa de Israel, y Jaazan\u00edas hijo de Saph\u00e1n estaba en medio de ellos, cada uno con su incensario en su mano; y del sahumerio sub\u00eda espesura de niebla.
\n12 Y me dijo: Hijo del hombre, \u00bfhas visto las cosas que los ancianos de la casa de Israel hacen en tinieblas, cada uno en sus c\u00e1maras pintadas? porque dicen ellos: No nos ve Jehov\u00e1; Jehov\u00e1 ha dejado la tierra.
\n13 D\u00edjome despu\u00e9s: Vu\u00e9lvete a\u00fan, ver\u00e1s abominaciones mayores que hacen \u00e9stos.
\n14 Y llev\u00f3me \u00e1 la entrada de la puerta de la casa de Jehov\u00e1, que est\u00e1 al aquil\u00f3n; y he aqu\u00ed mujeres que estaban all\u00ed sentadas endechando \u00e1 Tammuz.
\n15 Luego me dijo: \u00bfNo ves, hijo del hombre? Vu\u00e9lvete a\u00fan, ver\u00e1s abominaciones mayores que \u00e9stas.
\n16 Y meti\u00f3me en el atrio de adentro de la casa de Jehov\u00e1: y he aqu\u00ed junto \u00e1 la entrada del templo de Jehov\u00e1, entre la entrada y el altar, como veinticinco varones, sus espaldas vueltas al templo de Jehov\u00e1 y sus rostros al oriente, y encorv\u00e1banse al nacimiento del sol.
\n17 Y d\u00edjome: \u00bfNo has visto, hijo del hombre? \u00bfEs cosa liviana para la casa de Jud\u00e1 hacer las abominaciones que hacen aqu\u00ed? Despu\u00e9s que han llenado la tierra de maldad, y se tornaron \u00e1 irritarme, he aqu\u00ed que ponen hedor \u00e1 mis narices.
\n18 Pues tambi\u00e9n yo har\u00e9 en mi furor; no perdonar\u00e1 mi ojo, ni tendr\u00e9 misericordia, y gritar\u00e1n \u00e1 mis o\u00eddos con gran voz, y no los oir\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Ezequiel 9 Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA)
\n9 Y CLAMO en mis o\u00eddos con gran voz, diciendo: Los visitadores de la ciudad han llegado, y cada uno trae en su mano su instrumento para destruir.
\n2 Y he aqu\u00ed que seis varones ven\u00edan del camino de la puerta de arriba que est\u00e1 vuelta al aquil\u00f3n, y cada uno tra\u00eda en su mano su instrumento para destruir. Y entre ellos hab\u00eda un var\u00f3n vestido de lienzos, el cual tra\u00eda \u00e1 su cintura una escriban\u00eda de escribano; y entrados, par\u00e1ronse junto al altar de bronce.
\n3 Y la gloria del Dios de Israel se alz\u00f3 de sobre el querub\u00edn sobre el cual hab\u00eda estado, al umbral de la casa: y llam\u00f3 Jehov\u00e1 al var\u00f3n vestido de lienzos, que ten\u00eda \u00e1 su cintura la escriban\u00eda de escribano.
\n4 Y d\u00edjole Jehov\u00e1: Pasa por medio de la ciudad, por medio de Jerusalem, y pon una se\u00f1al en la frente \u00e1 los hombres que gimen y que claman \u00e1 causa de todas las abominaciones que se hacen en medio de ella.
\n5 Y \u00e1 los otros dijo \u00e1 mis o\u00eddos: Pasad por la ciudad en pos de \u00e9l, y herid; no perdone vuestro ojo, ni teng\u00e1is misericordia.
\n6 Matad viejos, mozos y v\u00edrgenes, ni\u00f1os y mujeres, hasta que no quede ninguno: mas \u00e1 todo aquel sobre el cual hubiere se\u00f1al, no llegar\u00e9is; y hab\u00e9is de comenzar desde mi santuario. Comenzaron pues desde los varones ancianos que estaban delante del templo.
\n7 Y d\u00edjoles: Contaminad la casa, y henchid los atrios de muertos: salid. Y salieron, \u00e9 hirieron en la ciudad.
\n8 Y aconteci\u00f3 que, habi\u00e9ndolos herido, yo qued\u00e9 y postr\u00e9me sobre mi rostro, y clam\u00e9, y dije: \u00adAh, Se\u00f1or Jehov\u00e1! \u00bfhas de destruir todo el resto de Israel derramando tu furor sobre Jerusalem?
\n9 Y d\u00edjome: La maldad de la casa de Israel y de Jud\u00e1 es grande sobremanera, pues la tierra est\u00e1 llena de sangres, y la ciudad est\u00e1 llena de perversidad: porque han dicho: Dejado ha Jehov\u00e1 la tierra, y Jehov\u00e1 no ve.
\n10 As\u00ed pues, yo, mi ojo no perdonar\u00e1, ni tendr\u00e9 misericordia: el camino de ellos tornar\u00e9 sobre su cabeza.
\n11 Y he aqu\u00ed que el var\u00f3n vestido de lienzos, que ten\u00eda la escriban\u00eda \u00e1 su cintura, respondi\u00f3 una palabra diciendo: Hecho he conforme \u00e1 todo lo que me mandaste.<\/p>\n
Carta 74a, Marzo 1 de 1897 (Vea tambi\u00e9n 3MS, pp. 386, 388)
\nNunca estamos solos. Jam\u00e1s podremos hacer aunque sea un m\u00ednimo esfuerzo para el avance de la obra de Dios en nuestro mundo, sin que ese acto cause viva emoci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de todo el universo celestial y nos haga colaboradores de Dios; y al estar unidos con los principados y potestades celestiales, todas nuestras simpat\u00edas son absorbidas….<\/p>\n
Nunca estamos ausentes de la mente de Dios. Dios es nuestro gozo y nuestra salvaci\u00f3n. Cada uno de los profetas antiguos habl\u00f3 menos para su propio tiempo que para el nuestro, de manera que sus profec\u00edas son v\u00e1lidas para nosotros. \u201cY estas cosas les acontecieron como ejemplo, y est\u00e1n escritas para amonestarnos a nosotros, a quienes han alcanzado los fines de los siglos\u201d [1 Corintios 10:11]. \u201cA estos se les revel\u00f3 que no para s\u00ed mismos, sino para nosotros, administraban las cosas que ahora os son anunciadas por los que os han predicado el evangelio por el Esp\u00edritu Santo enviado del cielo; cosas en las cuales anhelan mirar los \u00e1ngeles\u201d [1 Pedro 1:12]. La Biblia ha sido su libro de estudio. Est\u00e1 bien que lo sea, porque es el verdadero consejo de Dios, y es el conductor de todas las santas influencias que el mundo ha contenido desde su creaci\u00f3n. Tenemos el relato alentador de que Enoc camin\u00f3 con Dios. Si Enoc camin\u00f3 con Dios, en aquella \u00e9poca degenerada justamente antes de la destrucci\u00f3n del mundo por un diluvio, debemos recibir valor y ser estimulados con su ejemplo, en el sentido de que no necesitamos ser contaminados por el mundo, sino que, en medio de todas sus influencias y tendencias corruptoras, podemos caminar con Dios. Podemos tener la mente de Cristo.<\/p>\n
Enoc, s\u00e9ptimo desde Ad\u00e1n, estuvo profetizando siempre la venida del Se\u00f1or. Este gran acontecimiento le hab\u00eda sido revelado en visi\u00f3n. Abel, aunque muerto, est\u00e1 siempre hablando de la sangre de Cristo, que es la \u00fanica que puede hacer nuestros dones y ofrendas perfectos. La Biblia ha acumulado y reunido sus tesoros para esta \u00faltima generaci\u00f3n. Todos los grandes eventos y las solemnes transacciones de la historia del Antiguo Testamento, han sido repetidos y se est\u00e1n repitiendo en la iglesia en estos \u00faltimos d\u00edas….<\/p>\n
Dios ha enriquecido al mundo en estos d\u00edas finales en proporci\u00f3n al incremento de la impiedad, si su pueblo s\u00f3lo echara mano de su don inapreciable y vinculara todo su inter\u00e9s con el Se\u00f1or. No debe haber \u00eddolos acariciados y no necesitamos temer lo que vendr\u00e1, sino encomendar el cuidado de nuestras almas a Dios, como a un Creador fiel. \u00c9l guardar\u00e1 lo que se encomiende a su cuidado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
