God Made The Wicked For The Day Of Judgment

2nd Thessalonians 2:9-14, "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Carefully notice the following statements after the Bible says God will send them STRONG DELUSION... "That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." These are Christ-rejecters! So first we must conclude that God did not choose them not to be saved. They have a FREE WILL from God to make their own decisions. They freely chose NOT to believe.

In our text passage of Scripture, we read in 2nd Thessalonians 2:9-10, "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." So here we learn that the coming Man of Sin, ANTICHRIST, will work all manner of evil and deception "IN THEM THAT PERISH," because they rejected THE TRUTH. They rejected the truth (Good News) of the Gospel. They are not saved.

I read an interesting Bible verse today from Proverbs 16:4, “The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.” That is a deep thought. God created billions of people, knowing in His foreknowledge that they wouldn't get saved and will burn in Hell forever. Yet God made them! The Bible says God made them for Himself, for His purpose. 1st Corinthians 11:19 teaches that we need false teachers, so that men of God who properly study the Bible and teach sound doctrine can be made known. I was encouraged one day when I read that Bible verse. I have been exposing the apostate Calvinist Bob Jones University (BJU) camp since 2014. I have also started exposing the Pensacola Christian College (PCC) camp since 2018, because they sinfully bid Godspeed to BJU. It is sad that so many pastors today refuse to stand against heresy, falsehoods and sin. They just sinfully want their undeserved paycheck (Luke 16:13).

So, just as God allows there to exist false prophets, to provide a dark canvas (a backdrop) against which true Bible preachers like me can paint the light of THE TRUTH; in the same way, God created people that He knew would become wicked, to provide contrast against which the righteous can be compared. Proverbs 16:4, “The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.” The "day of evil" refers to judgment day. God will send the unsaved wicked "strong delusion" for His own glory and purpose. We see that God did this with wicked Pharaoh, hardening his heart against the Hebrews. God didn't harden Pharaoh concerning salvation, but only concerning releasing the Jews. Likewise, God won't harden anyone's heart not to get saved in the Tribulation, which is what 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 is about; but rather, since they rejected Jesus as their Savior, God will blind them further for His purpose and glory.

The following passage is amazing. The Bible says God will gather the heathen nations against Israel, and then fight against those nations! ...

Zechariah 14:1-3, "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle."

I love that! This is exactly what God did to Pharaoh in Moses' time, so that the Lord could show forth His magnificent power and glory to the universe!

I definitely think one of the ways that God will send strong delusion is that people will believe everything they read on social media. I think the "strong delusion" refers to anything and everything from mainstream society (TV, books, news, internet, podcasts, radio, word of mouth, et cetera). The Antichrist will use every existing form of media to deceive the masses of this wicked world (1st John 5:19). Even today, already we are seeing woeful deception on social media. The Devil is a beautiful liar!

It is shocking to me how much false doctrine has crept into the churches. Over 90% of Baptist churches today are horribly teaching the Devil's lie that you must forsake sinful behavior to get to Heaven. That is keeping the Mosaic law, which is another gospel (Romans 3:19-20; 1st Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:6-9). Eternal life is a free gift from God (Romans 6:23), paid for by Jesus' precious blood (1st Peter 1:18-19). NO ONE can, or ever has, turned away from their sins! Even the best Christians still sin all the time (Romans 7:14-25).

Watch this wicked speech given by our shameful Vice President, Kamala Harris, defending abortion. By God's grace, I humbly wrote this blog today to preach against her heresy. The Bible says that God made the unrighteous for the day of judgment. I don't know about you dear friend, but I THANK GOD that I am a born-again child of God. If you do not KNOW 100% beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are saved, please make sure right now...
