The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 26
Chapter 2
The Science Of Judgment
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath
not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as
the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear
him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions
from us. Like as a father pitieth (has compassion for) his children, so the LORD
pitieth (has compassion for) them that fear him.
Psalms 103:8-13.
In the beginning there was God. The Lord God created all things through his Son Jesus
Christ; there is nothing that was not made by Him. The Lord God is “full of compassion,” He is
“gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth,” He is Holy, He is good, He is
righteous and wise and his ways are perfect. He is all-powerful, ever present and knows all
things. He knows the end from the beginning. He is our Shepard, our King, our Judge and our
Defender. He is eternal and His ways are both unsearchable and unchangeable.

Because God knows all things he knew Adam and Eve would sin and fall. Because God
is full of love and mercy, he devised the plan of salvation even before Adam and Eve were
created. In the beginning it was decided that Jesus would pay the price for our sin and rebellion,
that he would accept our sins on him and he would die for them and God would raise him from
the dead. While he took our sins we would be given the opportunity to accept his righteousness,
his sinlessness and his perfect character.
God Has Predestined Us For Eternal Life
Each of us was formed in our mother's womb by the Lord our God.
16
He accomplished
this through His Son Jesus Christ, the creator of all things:
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which
from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by
Jesus Christ (Ephesians 3:9).

Before Christ created us and even before the world was formed, God our Father
