THE CHRIST MICHAEL IS BRINGING DELIVERANCE FOR HIS
PEOPLE BY THE PUBLIC EXPOSURE OF WILFUL SINNERS BY
THEIR DEATHS! (See 2 Esdras 13:25,26 and 12:31-34 NEB).

DELIVERANCE FROM SINNERS BY "STORM", "FLAME" AND "FIRE".
All nations shall experience the effects of the symbolic "stream of fire", "breath of flame" and "storm of sparks" from the mouth of the Son of God "he whom the Most High has held in readiness through many ages; he will himself deliver the world He has made, and determine the lot of those who survive." (13:10,11 NEB) (13:25,26 NEB). "My son will convict of their Godless deeds the nations that confront him. This will correspond to the storm you saw. He will taunt them with their evil plottings and the tortures they are soon to endure. This corresponds to the flame. And he will destroy them without effort by means of the Law and that is like the fire." (13:37,38 NEB).

But how will he save beloved people of God? In answer 2 Esdras 9:7,8 says: "'Whoever comes safely through and escapes destruction, thanks to his good deeds or the faith he has shown, will survive all the dangers I have foretold and witness the salvation that I shall bring to My land". For The Christ Michael will "protect in danger those who have works and fidelity laid up to their credit with the Most High." (13:23,24 NEB). The angel also describes the destiny of those that have contempt for the Spirit Law of God: "Then those who have misused My Law will be taken by surprise; their contempt for it will bring them continual torment." Those who "scornfully dismissed the thought of penitence while the way was still open... will have to learn the truth through torments after death." (9:7-12 NEB). Not even by their deaths shall wilful sinners escape The Lord's Judgement.

The exercise of faith in the "good news" of salvation by The Christ is evidence of sincere "penitence". But since the "good news" has already ceased, the remainder of mankind may only now be saved through their fear of calamities befalling mankind by the power of God such as the Mexico City earthquake in 1985. (Rev 10:7) (Rev 11:13). "And in that hour a great earthquake occurred, and a tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand persons were killed by the earthquake, and the rest became frightened and gave glory to the God of heaven." (Rev 11:13).

But how many survivors gave glory to God after the Bradford City stadium fire, or the Manchester airliner disaster, or the King's Cross Underground station fire, or more recently, the Piper Alpha oil platform fire? Did any of those who survived learn from these calamities inspiring fear? Or in greater measure as to lives lost, how many survivors of the prophesied droughts affecting Ethiopia and surrounding nations give glory to God? (See Isaiah 18:1-7) (See Zech 14:16-19). Evidently, very few. Death by fire, drought and pestilence in one place after another is part of the Judgement of God "coming as a thief" to those contemptuous of His Law and scornfully dismissive of penitence. They are being executed! (Rev 16:15).

Among wilful sinners are those who practice sodomy, idol-worship, murder, fornication, spiritism, lying, the "disgusting thing", those with the "mark" of the political "wild beast", sectarian leaders and social workers acting as mediators between God and mankind without moral authority from God to do so, those giving or receiving blood in contravention of the Law of God, etc; indeed, all those guilty of continued warring against the Spirit Will of Almighty God for mankind. All are being exposed and destroyed, and in this way faithful servants of God are being delivered from wilful sinners. (Rev 21:8,27).
