Judgment Day IS Approaching - But not All Will Experience It the Same Way

And here lays the diffusion of who is to be judged and who have already had judgment passed based upon the redeeming work of the Anointed One of Israel, Yeshua HaMashiach. The 'correct' understanding of the messiah (little letters) is that the Hebrew Bible speaks to the redemption plan spoken of first in Genesis Ch 3. The Pharisees of +/-2000 thousand years ago did not recognize the first advent of HaMashiach (big letters) for the continuing sin of unbelief that cost them the Temple the first time; and that residual unbelief which cost them the temple the second time, both on Tisha b'av.

Yeshua's continuing contention with the 'elders' was that not only did they not want to repent, but they placed the 'burdens' on those who did desire to believe (like those coming in droves to Yeshua's cousin at the Jordan) in order to keep them from leaving the religious rituals that kept them in bondage. Yeshua offered freedom in the Spirit; and the agents of the Adversary offered to keep them in chains of spiritual death. It is the same today.

Yeshua took on the cross of our shame and took our place at the seat of judgment, offering and spilling His blood to be the replacement of the death that was originally mine to suffer; but no more. Yeshua saved me from eternal death and He still offers that today to those who are convinced enough to believe for themselves. Now, therefore there is no condemnation to those to whom it is given by belief the redemption of His blood and His righteousness. I no longer need to concern myself about judgment; Yeshua has advocated my case and I am clean by His blood sacrifice.

Islam was allowed to extend its influences to overcome the expansion of the true Church, the efficacy of which was being lost due to the delusion that the words of HaMashiach could be altered by the religious works of mankind. Islam will never, EVER, replace Christianity since it has no power to do so. Neither will anything controvert the WORD of the LORD; so when its says judgment is approaching, only the blood of HaMashiach will be sufficient to preserve the true believer from the wrath to come. Calcitrant and empty Christianity and all the other religious persuasions on the other hand; well, the Revelation pretty much covers that.
