The judgment, the separation of the sheep from the shepherds, and the gathering of the remnant of God. The ‘cup and the baptism’ of the LORD is ours to drink and to fully undergo in his name.

We are told by the Apostle Peter that the “the time is come that ‘judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God.’ Here we see a divine separation that God, in his Righteous Judgment allows. Such a dividing line that through the ‘suffering’ as a Christian, God is righteous, in a judicial sense, allowing ‘suffering’ to be used in this sense to separate and judge those who believe. In the passages below regarding ‘judgment’ and ‘righteous judgment’, both are used in a context, in which, the believers are suffering as Christians. Pointedly here, persecuted and facing tribulation all because of Christ.  It is here we find that the Apostle Paul tells the Thessalonians in verse four of chapter one that ‘we glory in you in the churches of God’. Why did the Apostle and those with him glory as such? Because he says “For your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure.” It is the righteous judgment of God to allow this, sifting, shaking, and bringing believers in the true position with Christ, in which they share in Christ, in his sufferings!

 

Judgment:  krisis (κρίσις, 2920) primarily denotes “a separating,” then, “a decision, judgment,” most frequently in a forensic sense, and especially of divine “judgment1, executing of divine judgment.

1 Peter 4:16  Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1 Peter 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Righteous G1342: ‘righteous, observing divine laws; in a judicial sense, passing just judgment on others.’
Judgment G2920: ‘a separating, then a decision, in executing divine judgment’
Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

2 Thess 1: 4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
2 Thess 1:5  Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

It is here that we must understand the depth of this and the calling associated with it. We find that the Apostles at the start did not really understand the mission of our Lord. Neither did they fully grasp the call and the level to which they must attain. Here in Matthew we find James and John coming to Jesus and asking to be able to sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.  The point I bring here is not to understand why they asked, or that it was not the Lords to grant to sit there. The point here is that Jesus asked them plainly “can you drink of the cup that I drink of? And be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

Mark 10:35  And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36  And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37  They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38  But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39  And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40  But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared

Israel My Beloved


From our position here in Jerusalem, atop the mountains of Israel, we bear witness to the great events taking place in the reborn Jewish state, and declare to you, the whole house of Judah: "Behold your God."
In the midst of the hatred and violence directed against you: "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." (Exodus 14:13-14)
