Proverbs 20:26 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“A wise king sifts out the wicked, And brings the threshing wheel over them.” (Proverbs 20:26 NKJV)

He gives us a peek into the certain terror awaiting those who live in wicked ways, those who are contemptuous of God and His Words. They are those who trust in their work of religious self-effort, instead of resting in grace by faith in Jesus, and those who totally turn away from God and rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. It gives a picture of harsh execution of justice in a kingdom where a wise king sits on the throne. He shifts through his subjects to extract the agents of degeneration in society, who are out-laws and evil-doers. He is likened to a farmer that winnows his grain on the threshing floor then rolls the threshing wheel over it to cast out the useless chaff.

It is a chilling advisement of the King of Kings' dispensation of judgement on the Day of Reckoning. When He comes, He separates the sheep - who represent those who receive the Lordship of Christ Jesus by faith, from the goats - who represent those who do not believe in the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is written: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" (Matthew 25:31-33, 41 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
