End of Times Matthew 48-51


48 But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone a long time,

49 And begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunken,

50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he is not aware,

51 And will punish him [cut him up by scourging] and put him with the pretenders (hypocrites); there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

Let’s talk about a loving Father’s punishment here. Does a loving Father get even with his kids, or does He correct His children?

For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. Hebrews 12:6

Our Father loves everyone. So the Truth is that our Father disciplines everyone. So the question is does He discipline most of His children by sending them to an eternity in Hell?

But if any person’s work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15

The Truth is that many people will have to pass through the fires of Hades and their reward of being the Bride will be lost. Yet these people will be saved from the Lake of Fire. Our Father will have disciplined them and just as with the Rich Ruler, Luke 16, they will come to have a loving heart that cares for others above themselves.

Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. 1 Timothy 2:4

Our Father is God; He gets what He wants!

[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. John 17:2

Jesus was successful on the Cross, He was very successful. Our Lord will cause all men to come to the knowledge of the Truth and they will be set free.

For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike]. Romans 11:32

Our Father has made all of us to totally need Him for everything. We will all mess up. We will all be disciplined by our Father. Some of us will have to go through Hades and only be a guest. Some of us will be disciplined here on the earth and we will be the Bride. But our Father will have mercy on all of us and allow us to live with Him for all of eternity.
