It is often helpful to look at the first use of a word in Scripture. The first use of fire:
Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Brimstone is a term of judgment. It comes from the root word meaning “gopher” as in the wood created for the ark. This would tie a lesser judgment of water with the greater judgment of fire. Interestingly enough, the movie “Noah” is soon to be released this spring. Also, “Son of GOD” is to be released at the end of this month.
Sodom was filled with lawlessness and perversion. Those with gender disorientation had gained power in the town to the point of becoming a vast majority in the town. Sodom and Gomorrah were also known for their opium/pharmaceutical trade:
Deuteronomy 32:
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom
And of the fields of Gomorrah;
Their grapes (poppies) are grapes of gall,
Their clusters are bitter.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents,
And the cruel venom of cobras.
Sexual perversion and heavy drug addiction were now being judged. By what means? Fire and brimstone. Physical death in the Old Testament is depicted as “conversion” or death to the flesh in the New Testament. The word “brimstone is used 7 times in the Old Testament and 7 times in the New Testament (1 in Luke describing the above passage, 6 in Revelations). Let’s consider the use of fire and brimstone in the New Testament.
The word “brimstone” in the New Testament is defined as:
“Divine incense, because burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify, and to ward off disease”
Those who are lawless will be subjected to “fire and brimstone” soon. Not to kill them, but to convert them by the Baptism of Love, the greater fire. By this overwhelming Love, they will most assuredly bow their knee and their tongue confess “Jesus Christ is LORD”. When the wheat is harvested and put in the storehouse, it is to be soon distributed as bread to those who are hungry. At the same time, the tares (sons of the wicked one) will be gathered up and burned in the fire. Jesus explains in Matthew 13:
38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
This occurs at the end of the Age. The righteous will “shine forth” with the Baptism of Love, purged of the flesh. They will minister The Kingdom to the rest of mankind in power and authority.
What country promotes gender disorientation, massive use of pharmaceuticals, money changers, perversion of laws, etc? Whatever country that is, could the Remnant be called to ignite the greater fire there first? Just wondering.
