Gold Refined

The owner of time mocks it's passing and the fool thinks he can keep it in check. Time will accomplish it's purpose and yet it will not heal all wounds.
His wounds remain.

God gave wisdom, yet some took a pass.

In times passed God looked past our ignorance, but don't think that will always be His stance. For Christ came and most ignored it. When He comes again missing it will be impossible.

Foolish bible scholars still set dates for His coming. It must break His heart to see such pride. Jesus didn't know His return date, so why would we? 


Remember, Christ warned the seven churches and only commended a few. So think of His closing words.

18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” 
Rev 3:18-22 NIV
