It will not be delayed.” (Ezekiel 21:6)- “when it comes true, the boldest heart will melt with fear; all strength will disappear. Every spirit will faint, and Strong knees will become as weak as water.” (Amos 4:12)- “Prepare to meet your God in Judgment” (Ezekiel 21:30)- “I will judge each of you. According to your actions, says the sovereign Lord. (Joel 2:12)- That is why the Lord says, “turn to me now while there is time.” Return to The Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
