The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 558
understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are
together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Romans 3:10-12)
Since we are all unrighteous, we have only one option if we want to be righteous; we
must be born again into Christ's righteousness. John writes: If ye know that he is righteous, ye
know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. (1 John 2:29) Paul explains it
further:
For if through the offence of one [Adam] many be dead, much more the
grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one ma
n, Jesus Christ, hath
abounded unto many.
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the
judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto
justification. For if by one mans offence death reigned by one; much more they
which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in
life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came
upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift
came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one mans disobedience
many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where
sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death,
even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ
our Lord. (Romans 5:16-21)
We have just learned the most important elements in being saved from the coming
judgment of God upon America. We must accept God's law as holy just and true. We must
confess our sins, and repent. We must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior and then the
word of God tells us to be baptized and born again.

For God hath not appointed us [the
righteous] to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:9). It is
the wicked who are appointed to God's judgment and wrath.
The Wicked
The expectation of the wicked is wrath. (Proverbs 11:23) The LORD is far from the
wicked. (Proverbs 15:29) The face of the Lord is against them that do evil. (1 Peter 3:12) As
the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more. (Proverbs 10:25) The wicked and unrighteous
shall have no part in the kingdom of God but shall experience tribulation and wrath. Paul writes:
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1
Corinthians 6:9-10)
Now the works of the flesh [wicked and unrighteous] are manifest, which
