THREAD: The events of this day are starting to show we are closer to justice than ever before. I have been saying "justice is coming" for a while and have wanted it. God has given me a different spirit today. He has given me a spirit of sorrow for those who will not repent.
We will see judgment come down hard on those who have not repented. Ezekiel 9 is coming down. Please read all of the verses below. God’s judgement on the rebellious and disobedient. God’s people are protected and safe. We are to be the watchmen crying out with the warning.
