God Speaks of the Judgment Because He Loves Us ㅡ

 “So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 13:49~50)

When the work of the gospel is completed, there immediately follows the separation between the good and the evil, and the destiny of each class is forever fixed.

God does not desire the destruction of any.

Throughout the period of probationary time His Spirit is entreating men to accept the gift of life.

It is only those who reject His pleading that will be left to perish.

God has declared that sin must be destroyed as an evil ruinous to the universe.

Those who cling to sin will perish in its destruction.

God “delighteth in mercy.” “As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked.” (Micah 7:18; Ezekiel 33:11).

To Him the work of destruction and the denunciation of judgment is a “strange work.” (Isaiah 28:21).

But it is in mercy and love that He lifts the veil from the future, and reveals to men the results of a course of sin.

 (Christ’s Object Lessons 123; The Desire of Ages 582)
