Salvation, a new creation, and reconciliation are all from God in Jesus Christ who became sin to atone for our sin so that God can count us as righteous. We have been given this ministry as ambassadors on behalf of Christ, taking the word of reconciliation to the world.

There are a few primary methods for attempting to interpret the biblical material on eschatology in the old and new testaments: Systematic Theology, Futurism, and Biblical Theology. Systematic theology is incomplete to rightly handle the biblical presentation of the "latter days" (Isaiah 2:2).

The Lord is taking away competent male leadership from Israel, replacing them with the incompetent, resulting in moral corruption and social disorder, and removing the haughty and vain sensual adornment of women who lack honor and fear of God, replacing it with harsh judgement; by war and vanity, the Lord has judged this wicked nation. Value and thank God for good and honorable leadership, and pursue wisdom and discipline in the fear of God.

The Lord will have a day of reckoning against men who forsake him and trust in their own endeavors. On that day, though they try, no one will be able to hide from his sight and judgement.

Refusing the gospel of God, the word of The Lord, brings condemnation on the unbelieving hearers under the old convening and the new. The Lord says he will refine and purify Israel by hard times, and that he will crush the ones unceasingly forsaking him.

The Lord calls Israel into the courtroom to reason with him as to how they can be justified and saved; it is by grace and repentance. Jesus Christ is our advocate and intercessor before the righteous Judge by his own blood as the basis for our forgiveness.

The Lord, with all his heart, calls these rebellious people to reason with him. His heart is towards these sinners ready with grace to extend reconciliation if they will hear him and repent.

The Lord pleads with rebellious, wicked, hypocritical Israel to repent of their sin, to wash themselves and do righteousness, and if they do, they Lord will repent and forgive and bless them. The bible clearly states in many locations that the sovereign Lord repents and changes his mind and heart and actions towards his people because of their repentance.

The Lord relates the absolute sinful wickedness of Israel to Sodom and Gomorrah. The persistant and unrepentant rebellion against the Lord's commands and religion hipocracy has angered the Lord such that he relates them to the most wicked cities in the history of the world that bore the direct wrath of God.
