When God says...
“Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And beatings for the backs of fools.” (Proverbs 19:29 NKJV)
We are reminded that there are indeed judgments prepared for scoffers. The fact that many people miss, is that judgement is already pronounced on those who scoff at God and His Word. His commandments warn those who ignore Him. And those who indeed ignore Him, there is no lack of reminders that the wicked is already judged - and that those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ, face a terrifying wrath. Every scoffer is warned and knows exactly what awaits him for his scoffing.
We are also reminded that lashes are set handy for the backs of fools. The fool is one who enjoys his follies - rejecting God and His Word. He loves his foolery and has no use for anything that restrains what he wants. He does without thinking any repercussions of what His flesh craves for each moment of the day. The passage says, this person needs flogging on his back. And, worst of all, for scoffers and fools and everyone who reject the way to the Father, only has a place called hell to go to.
So, fools and scoffers beware! You may indulge in your moments of foolishness and scoffing. For your rejection and unbelief in the only begotten Son of God, you certainly have your day of reckoning. Your unbelief condemned you! It is written: “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:18 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
