The Perfect Justice of God

The Perfect Justice of God

Chapter 1: A Man of Faith

It was an evening like any other, yet Daniel could sense something different in the air. The small rural town where he lived, nestled between rolling hills and ancient oak trees, was quiet tonight—too quiet. The wind whispered softly through the branches, and the stars above shimmered with eerie stillness. Daniel, a man in his late forties, knelt beside his bed with his worn King James Bible resting in front of him. His calloused hands, the result of years of labor on his modest farm, trembled slightly as he prayed.

Dear Heavenly Father, he began, I know that Your justice is perfect. You have revealed it in Your Word, and I see it more clearly every day. Thank You for Your mercy in saving me through the blood of Your Son. Help me to witness to others while there is still time. Amen.

The peace of God filled his heart as he finished his prayer, but a shadow of urgency remained. Daniel had always believed that time was short. He had studied the scriptures diligently, understanding the signs of the last days. As a KJV-believing Christian, he held fast to the promises of God, knowing that judgment would come upon the earth like a thief in the night.

Chapter 2: The Fenced Brasen Wall

As he walked to the kitchen to make himself some tea, Daniel couldn’t shake the memory of a sermon he had heard years ago. The preacher had spoken of the lake of fire, the eternal torment of the wicked, and how the smoke of their torment would ascend forever and ever. Daniel’s mind drifted back to a passage he had recently read in the Book of Revelation.

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Revelation 14:11, KJV)

He sat down at the table and opened the Bible once more, flipping through its well-worn pages until he reached the verse that had been haunting him. The perfect justice of God was undeniable. How could a God of love also be a God of wrath? Daniel had grappled with this question in his youth but had come to understand that God’s justice was inseparable from His holiness.

The wicked, those who had rejected the gift of salvation, would face eternal judgment. They would wish they had never been born, just as Judas Iscariot had wished when he betrayed Christ.

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. (Matthew 26:24, KJV)

Daniel knew that God had given humanity every opportunity to repent. He had sent His only begotten Son to die for the sins of the world, and yet, many chose to reject Him. They could not spend a moment of their lifetime to believe on His Son, Daniel whispered, his voice breaking.

Chapter 3: The Visitation

The night passed uneventfully until Daniel was awoken by a blinding light filling his room. At first, he thought it was a dream, but the sensation of warmth on his face and the sound of rushing wind convinced him otherwise. He sat up, shielding his eyes, and saw a figure standing at the foot of his bed.

Fear not, Daniel, the figure said. Its voice was like a melody, soothing yet powerful.

Who are you? Daniel asked, his heart pounding.

I am a messenger of the Lord, sent to show you the justice of God in its fullness.

Before Daniel could respond, he found himself standing in a place that defied human comprehension. The ground beneath him was solid yet seemed to glow with an otherworldly light. Before him stretched a vast chasm, and on the other side, he saw what could only be described as the lake of fire.

The flames roared like a living entity, and the cries of the damned echoed through the air. Daniel covered his ears, but the sound penetrated his very soul. He saw men and women writhing in agony, their faces contorted with regret and terror.

These are the ones who rejected the Son of God, the messenger said. They had their chance, but they hardened their hearts.

But why forever? Daniel asked, tears streaming down his face.

Because God is eternal, and His justice is eternal. They rejected an infinite gift, and their punishment is infinite.

Daniel’s knees buckled, and he fell to the ground. They wish they had never been born, he whispered, remembering the words of Scripture.

Chapter 4: The Last Witness

The vision faded, and Daniel found himself back in his room, trembling and soaked in sweat. He knew he had been given a glimpse of what awaited the wicked, and it strengthened his resolve to share the gospel with anyone who would listen.

The next morning, he packed a small bag and set out to visit the nearby town. He handed out tracts, preached on street corners, and spoke to anyone willing to hear him. Some mocked him, others ignored him, but a few listened intently.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, he declared, quoting Acts 16:31 (KJV). Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Chapter 5: The Great Tribulation Begins

Years passed, and the world grew darker. Wars, famines, and natural disasters ravaged the earth. The Antichrist rose to power, deceiving many with signs and wonders. Daniel had seen it all coming, but even he was astonished at how quickly society had unraveled.

One night, as he knelt in prayer, he heard the distant wail of sirens and the rumble of military vehicles passing through the streets. The great tribulation had begun—the worst time in human history, as foretold in the Bible.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21, KJV)

Daniel’s heart ached, not for himself but for the countless souls who had rejected the truth. He knew that many would face eternal torment, and there was nothing he could do to stop it now.

He looked out the window at the chaos unfolding below. Even so, come, Lord Jesus, he whispered. But he knew this wasn’t the end—not yet.

Chapter 6: The Last Prayer

In the final moments before dawn, Daniel knelt once more and prayed. His hands clasped tightly, he prayed not for deliverance but for strength. He prayed that God’s perfect justice would be understood by those who still had time to repent.

As the first rays of sunlight broke over the horizon, Daniel felt a deep sense of peace. The world was crumbling around him, but his faith remained unshaken.

The great tribulation raged on, but Daniel knew that God’s justice was perfect, and His mercy was available to all who would believe. For the wicked, there would be no escape. They would wish they had never been born.

And Daniel, with tears in his eyes, continued to pray.
