GOD THE JUDGE

"Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, and it is very tempestuous 'round about Him. He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people: Gather My saints together unto Me, those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare His righteousness; for God is Judge Himself. [Selah.] Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee; I am God, even thy God. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High; and call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me." "Now consider this, ye that forget God." Psalm 50 : 3–15, 22.
