THE EMPTY CHURCH

```markdown

Who among them has declared these things?​

Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river.

But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted: "Tell them anyway."


When I asked the Lord about the strange symptom of weeping I experienced during my Covid-19 illness, He led me to the following passage:

The Empty Church
(Jesus Laments over Jerusalem)​

37) “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38) See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39) for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!


Jesus does not sugarcoat his displeasure with the church in Matthew 23. Given her propensity toward neglect and reckless disregard for His children, one might even say, Jesus goes off on the church, especially her leaders. But, even in His anger, Jesus' lamentation in verses 37-39 creates a space for renewal when the church turns from her wicked ways of only blessing herself and those whom she deems merited, and obeys His commandment to bless those whom He says to bless. "For even the devil blesses his own" Yet, because His hand remains outstretched, Jesus will never destroy the church completely, in mercy there shall be a remnant that His people might accept His grace of another chance; A New Thing. Howbeit, every new thing encompasses the test of obedience. When God restores the church to assembly, will she get it right this time?

As the church goes, so goes the nation.​

Commentary: Though many in the church oppose the messaging, and may even rebuke me personally, whether you listen or you refuse to listen; when God says speak; speak I shall; unredacted, and never sugarcoated.

Last Sunday while at home not being able to attend church I listened to a religious broadcast. I heard a critique from a Caribbean evangelist ### Rattray. He believes that God is setting up the world so that sinners can come to repentance. This Covid-19 pandemic has developed a fear in man which will cause transformation of nations. He believes that it comes not to stay but that it will result in a revival with people having more of the spirit of God just like how the coronavirus is sweeping the world. People will return to God. God is setting up the world so that sinners can come to repentance. It is God's desire to save the world and not to punish. Now that we have to be using Zoom and other forms of technologies the Gospel will be able to spread wider. Some people will never attend church, so because the churches have been shut down we have to move to technology. This is therefore an opportunity for tremendous evangelism.

You're right, but Jesus Christ God Holy Spirit has a thought and a way higher than we can imagine and I pray that He uses this world situation to glorify Himself because God has a purpose for everything.

"Woman," Jesus replied, "believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

Amen!
