" For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience"
Colossians 3:6 (KJV) Matthew Henry Commentary
IF THOU WILT NOT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE OF THE LORD THY GOD,
to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day;
THAT ALL THESE CURSES SHALL COME UPON THEE AND OVERTAKE THEE..."
Deuteronomy 28:15 (KJV) Matthew Henry Commentary
THE FOLLOWING IMAGES MAYBE DISTURBING AND OFFENSIVE TO SOME VIEWERS!
"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
THE SPIRIT THAT NOW WORKETH CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
FULFI;;ING THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH AND OF THE MIND;
and were by nature the CHILDREN OF WRATH, even as others"
"Turn you at my reproof:
behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;
when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, BUT I WILL NOT ANSWER;
they shall seek me early, BUT THEY SHALL NOT FIND ME:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil"
"Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils:
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils"
"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,
"For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,"
"KNOW YE NOT THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God"
"Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course,
and be glorified, even as it is with you:
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men:
FOR ALL MEN HAVE NOT FAITH"
"I tell you, Nay:
but, except ye REPENT (stop sinning),
ye shall ALL likewise perish"
Jesus Christ, Luke 13:3 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT,
when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord"
Acts 3:19 (KJV) - Matthew Henry Commentary
“But the FEARFUL, and UNBELIEVING, and the ABOMINABLE, and MURDERERS,
and WHOREMONGERS, and SORCERERS, and IDOLATERS, and all LIARS,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death”
Revelation 21:8 (KJV)- Matthew Henry Commentary
