God Saving All of His Elect is a Thing to be Celebrated!

Excerpt from Romans 1 study #7

Regarding May 21, 2011 (when the door to heaven closed), there are people that try to view it so negatively. “Oh, these people that insist on a shut door and no more salvation. It is so awful and terrible. It is the worst doctrine imaginable!” But the fact is – and the truth is – that God selected a certain number of people to be saved, and He saved them all. Therefore, if we look at it in the proper perspective, it is a thing to be celebrated. We should thank God and praise God that He has accomplished salvation to the utmost! You simply cannot get more salvation; you cannot get anyone else saved other than those that were predestinated and elected to receive it. And if there are no more elect, then there cannot be any more salvation. That is what really has happened, and that is what the Bible has revealed to us by God locking in that date.

And how truly fitting it is in a world of rebels, especially those that identify with false gospels and false religions that are not true. They claim that man can do this work or that work to get himself saved and to enter into heaven and have God’s favor upon him and live for evermore. They have polluted, perverted and twisted the true, pure Gospel of the Bible, which is a Gospel that is totally “of the Lord.” Man is not born again by his own will, but by the will of God. It is not man’s determination, but God’s determination. It is not man’s choice, but God’s choice. So how appropriate and fitting that God has ended salvation and, yet, allowed time to continue for a short while to carry out a few of His purposes, like testing His people and trying them, and having them make an appearance (a demonstration) before His judgment seat, which will prove His people to be “gold, silver precious stones” by enduring to the end.

And, also, God has His purposes for a prolonged judgment on the unsaved people of the earth, and one purpose has to be that God is going to make it known (and He has already done this and is continuing to do this) as we get closer to 2033 that there is “no more salvation.” You see, that was a sovereign decree regarding the end date of when God would save. He had a time period, as it says in Ecclesiastes 3. There is a time to live (to give eternal life in salvation), and there is a time to die (when there is no salvation). There is a time for judgment. It is Judgment Day, and God has brought this time to pass, and it proves and highlights what has been true all along – that salvation is of the Lord.

As all of these churches, theologians and other kinds of gospels come face-to-face with this teaching (no more salvation), and they say, “Well, you are wrong that the door is shut, because we had several members accept Christ. You are wrong that the door is shut because we have people speaking in tongues. You are wrong because we have baptized individuals.” Whatever work they put up, our answer is the same: “Our God is Sovereign God. I am sorry that you are under this kind of delusion because those things could never save anyone. They never did save anyone, and they are not saving anyone today. They are no proof at all. And God has made His decree, and it is His right to do so.” Those who speak against such decrees of God have the same mindset as the Arminians, as theologians call them, who fight against election and say, “If election is true, then God has made us robots, and God is unfair. It is unjust.” You see, it is all the language of the rebel, like the convicted criminal that speaks badly of the law that convicted him and the judge that sentenced him. And that is the same mindset of those that are complaining, disputing and arguing with God. They do not like what God has done or the fact that He is sovereign in this matter. They say, “No – I do not like that there is no salvation. There was always salvation before, and that is the gospel that I know, love and want, and I insist that it continue.” You see, it finally comes out. The pride of man and the will of man, as he says, “This is what I want.” There is no humility and no submission to the perfect will of God.

But God’s elect people are made humble by God and, as a result, we do submit to Him. Even though we can delight and rejoice that God has saved all those to be saved, we take no pleasure in the death of the wicked and the fact that there is no more salvation for the rest of mankind. It is a sorrowful thing. It is a grievous thing, but that does not provoke us to fight back and “kick against the pricks” and to argue and dispute with God, or to try to change His perfect will. That is not the nature of His people.
