IN THE HEAT AND THE TRIBUNE

Acts5:1-5,8,9,10,11"But a certain man Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and bringing a certain part at the feet of the apostles he laid it. But peter said, Ananias! Wherefore did satan fill your heart that you should deal falsely with the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the field?.......Why was it that you did contrive in your heart this deed?.....You have not dealt falsely with men, but with God. And as Ananias heard these words he fell and expired." (Ananias' wife comes in)"And Peter began to say unto her, tell me, was it for so much that you gave up the field? She said, yes, for so much. And Peter said unto her, why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord?.......And she instantly fell at his feet and expired........AND THERE CAME GREAT FEAR UPON THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY AND UPON ALL THEM THAT HEARD THESE THINGS"

Rev.2:22-23"Lo! I cast her (Jezebel) into a bed, and them who are committing adultery with her into great tribulation-except they repent out of her works, and her children will I slay with death, AND ALL THE ASSEMBLIES SHALL GET TO KNOW THAT I AM HE WHO SEARCHES REINS AND HEARTS AND WILL GIVE UNTO YOU EACH ONE ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS"

1Pet4:17"For it is the ripe time for the judgment to begin with the house of God"

"In the heat" in the title is judgment, but a better word is correction, because all God's judgments are corrective in nature, not punitive, even though they or it may involve physical death. "Tribune" is a local newspaper name, symbolically referring to a "broadcasting far and wide"of the aforesaid corrections, so that other professing ones may hear of it and fear, thereby learning to walk circumspectly.

Most professing christians like the worldlings they live among, see no connection between actions(works) and consequences(judgment/correction).

Pro.26:2"As a sparrow in wandering; as a
swallow in flying, SO A CURSE CAUSELESS
SHALL NOT ALIGHT"(shall not come)

There is no such thing as purposeless actions or consequences. Sickness, disease and physical death do not come upon the individual without a cause. Ananias and Sapphira died because of their subterfuge. Everyone was selling the all and giving the all. They sold the all-the field-and gave a part, pretending they were giving all. They could have kept it all and there would have been no problem. You can't lie to the Spirit of Truth and not suffer consequences.

Rev.22:12"Lo!I come speedily (immediately), and My reward (blessing OR cursing)is with Me to render unto each one as his work is".

Don't mistake the word "reward" as only something good; if the work was good then the reward IS good, but if not.......... .Reward means consequences and BECAUSE THE "WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT" IS PRESENT CONTINUOUSLY AND NOT A "FUTURE" EVENT, the reward immediately comes along with the deed when the deed is done in the realm of time. The type of deed it is sets in motion an immediate consequence to follow, which may take some "time" to get to the individual doing the deed, but it nevertheless shall come-and come when the individual is least expecting it, and if he has not been taught these things (most haven't), he will not know the "why" of it; no not even may believe there is such a thing as "why" things happen. The world has a saying,"what goes around, comes around", but they don't really believe it, because they continue on in their lawless deeds. The saying comes from, "as you sow, so shall you reap", but they don't use that term as someone might think they are a religious fanatic.

Many professing ones like their unbelieving "fellows" believe in utilitarianism, an offshoot of darwinism-the survival of the fittest- and chance happenings. they are no different than the beasts that perish, so don't deserve any more attention here. It is the others whom I speak to who are in their hearts genuinely desiring to live Godly in this present ungodly, lawless culture.

The days are coming when heavy consequences are coming on that which is called "visible assembly". The hypocrites with titles and "ordination" certificates are going to be heavily dealt with, with THEIR OWN consequences, for THEIR OWN behavior and it's going to be broadcast far and wide so that the rest might fear.
