Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. -Psalm 2:12

That's right, unbelievers, JESUS is like a big time bomb waiting to explode at even the slightest provocation.

It says so right there in Psalm 2:12, "When His wrath is kindled but a little."

Do you want JESUS to go ballistic, kill you, and fling you into the fiery chasms of HELL to burn for all eternity?

No?

Then pucker up!

"Kiss the Son, lest He be angry."

JESUS expects to be appeased frequently, and if we do not supplicate ourselves before Him and sing His praises, He may not see fit to reward us with an eternity in Heaven where we will supplicate before Him and sing His praises.

What kind of fool wants to miss out on that?

The kind of fool who says in his heart that there is no GOD! (Psalm 14:1)

Unbelievers are bound for damnation (John 3:18), but "Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him."

That's us; True Christians who kneel before the Heavenly throne and kiss the hand of the King of Kings, that we may return even a fraction of the love He shows us by sparing us from His blazing wrath!

PRAISE HIM!

[Jedediah]

It would take a real demented idiot to not want to spend eternity in Heaven with us, pressed against Jesus' bosom, singing praise songs, and constantly reminding Him how great He is. We even get mansions!

John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

You'd think that with atheists and socialists being addicted to handouts from the government, they'd find Jesus' offer of our own private eternal mansion to be enticing. I really can't understand those deluded fools. Having the Holy Spirit dwelling within in us must stave off mental retardation or something like that.

I've often wondered about the mansions.

If we won't need sleep or food and will spend all our time praising Jesus for being perfect, then what need will we have of houses?

As far as I know, the Bible doesn't say specifically what we will need the mansions for.

I suspect that the mansions we won't use will simply serve as reminders of how kind our LORD is to us; that if we hadn't been made to no longer require rest or privacy, we would have this beautiful mansion into which we could retreat from eternal supplication.

PRAISE HIM!

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew 7:8-11

When we ask for Heaven, God won't just give us a place to be comfortable to sing His praises 24/7, He'll give us so much more, like mansions and big screen tv's and SUV's that never run out of gas! Oh, I can hardly wait!
