Love of Almighty God Requires Love for All - and Judgment for Those Who Refuse

O the happiness of that one, who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, and in the seat of scorners has not sat;

But -- in the law of Jehovah is his delight, and in His law he does meditate by day and by night:

And he has been as a tree, planted by rivulets of water, that gives its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither, and all that he does he causes to prosper.

Not so the wicked: But -- as chaff that wind drives away!

Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked is lost!

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.

Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure:

"Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion."

"I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession.

You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.' "

Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

Unfortunately for those who disrespect the Hebrew Holy Bible, like the portions of the Psalms above, the formula for life and the Love of Almighty God through Jesus Christ, His only Son who died and rose again to redeem us from our sins, is more compelling for truth in this life; and the life eternal in His presence. His promises are proved in Israel and in true belief, from the beginning to the end of the age, just as we see approaching in these twilight moments in the Middle East.
