What is part "a" of Judgments, one might ask, why it is the judgment base on privilege, why did you not know? Yes! That is right privilege! How did you get that and where did it come from? Let's us find out shall we.
Judgment According to Privilege,
Matthew 11:22 of 20-24 "Jesus began to denounce the cities where most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. 'Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.'"
Mark 6:11 of 7-13 "Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. And He said to them, 'Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there.
Mar 6:11 And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.' So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them."
Luke 12:48 of 41-48 "Peter said, "Lord, are You telling this parable for us or for all?" To this the Lord said, 'Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his Master (LORD) will set over His household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his Master will find so doing when He comes. For Truly, I say to you, He will set him over all His possessions. But if that servant says to himself, "My Master is delayed in coming," and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the Master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect Him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his Master's will but did not get ready or act according to His will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom They entrusted much, They will demand all the more.'"
John 3:19 of 16-21 (Jesus is speaking) "'For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave His only Son, that whoever believes Him (Deuteronomy 18:18-19 of 15-22) should not perish but have eternal life. For GOD did not send His Son into the world to condemn (Force the Laws of Moses upon) the world, but in order that the world might be saved (G4982, Healed, made whole, right) through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the (hidden) name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in [en]-(through) GOD.'"
John 9:41 of 35-41 "Jesus heard that they had cast him (the man born blind, of verse 1) out, and having found him he said, 'Do you believe in the Son of Man?' He answered, "And who is he, Sir, that I may believe in him?" Jesus said to him, 'You have seen Him, and it is He Who is speaking to you.' He said, "LORD! I believe," and he worshiped (honored) Him. To this Jesus said, 'For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.' Some of the Pharisees near Him heard these things, and said to Him, "Are we also blind?" By this Jesus said to them, 'If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, "We see," your guilt remains.'"
John 15:22 of 18-25; Romans 2:12 of 12-16 (Jesus is speaking) "'If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world (2Corinthians 6:11-7:1 and Revelation 18:4-8 of 17-18), the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his (Matthew 10:24of 24-25; Luke 21:12 of 12-19) Master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you on account of My name, because they do not know (the name of) Him Who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates Me (as the Messiah) hates My Father (the true Messiah) also. If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father (Messiah). But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled (Psalm 35:19 of 17-21 and 69:4 of 1-4): 'They hated Me without a cause.'"
Romans 12:12 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight."

Post, The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 4, Judgments
Within the text of your Bible there are many judgment days spoken of and with them many kinds, types and shadowy images of the same that are conjured up within mans unredeemed mind. For this reason I will begin by looking at some general references to these events before narrowing them down. For this is our next area of focus in Revelation 18:4-8's list of things to come upon the false religions of this worlds order. As they all sprang from one source in mans 5000 year plus history, as he pushes for 6000 years of the 10,000 allotted the earth. And again do Not get the two law's spoken of confused as so many have because of the Strong's Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek words. Within the following we find out what true "faith" is.
Judgment, general references to,
(Exodus 12:12 "'For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute My judgments: I am the LORD.'")
Matthew 25:31+32 of 31-33; 2Corinthians 5:10 of 6-10 (Jesus is speaking) "'When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne (Daniel 7:13-14; Acts 1:4-5, 6-11, 2:1-4, Revelation 1:6-7 of 1-3, 4-7). Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and HE will separate people one from another (2Corinthians 6:11-7:1, Revelation 17-18: 4-8 of 1-3, 4-8, 9-10, 11-21, 22-24) as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And HE will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left."
2Corinthians 5:10 of 6-10 "So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body (as a container of light, life, law and love, GOD's Spirit, Holy His) we are away from the LORD, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the LORD. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."
Hebrews 9:27 of 15-22, 23-28 "For this reason (verses 1-10, 11-14) HE is the mediator of the promised new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them (the Hebrews children) from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. For where a will (the first covenant of Laws) is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood (weak and beggarly animal blood a substitute for mans blood). For when every commandment of that Law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying (in Exodus 24:8), "This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you." And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. Indeed, under this Law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into the true Holy places not made with hands, which are the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of GOD on our behalf. Nor was it to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, HE has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself (the true law of life, light and love). And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time (within us 1John 4:2 of 1-6, 5:20 of 18-20, 21), not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him."
1John 4:17 of 15-5:4 "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of GOD, GOD abides in him, and he in GOD. So we have come to know and to believe the love that GOD has for us. GOD is love, and whoever abides in love abides in GOD, and GOD abides in Him. By this is love perfected within us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as HE is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because HE first loved us (Genesis 1:26-28 as of His own life Spirit). If anyone says, "I love GOD," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love GOD Whom he has not seen (known). And this commandment (Leviticus 19:18) we have from Him: whoever loves GOD must also love his brother. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of GOD, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of GOD, when we love GOD and obey His (Word) of Life commandments. For this is the love of GOD, that we keep His Love commandments. For His commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of GOD overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith."
Jude 14-15 of 14-16; Revelation 20:12 of 11-15 "It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage."
Revelation 20:12 of 11-15 "Then I saw a great white throne and Him Who was seated on it. From His presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in their books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found (remaining) written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Judgment, general references to,
(Exodus 12:12 "'For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute My judgments: I am the LORD.'")
Matthew 25:31+32 of 31-33; 2Corinthians 5:10 of 6-10 (Jesus is speaking) "'When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne (Daniel 7:13-14; Acts 1:4-5, 6-11, 2:1-4, Revelation 1:6-7 of 1-3, 4-7). Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and HE will separate people one from another (2Corinthians 6:11-7:1, Revelation 17-18: 4-8 of 1-3, 4-8, 9-10, 11-21, 22-24) as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And HE will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left."
2Corinthians 5:10 of 6-10 "So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body (as a container of light, life, law and love, GOD's Spirit, Holy His) we are away from the LORD, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the LORD. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."
Hebrews 9:27 of 15-22, 23-28 "For this reason (verses 1-10, 11-14) HE is the mediator of the promised new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them (the Hebrews children) from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

Post, The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 3, False Trusts.9f
I wonder if anyone remembers what is at the heart of this section of study? It is the self-will of disobedient rebellious and hardheartedness of man as contained in the cup of the harlot religion of mans design to fulfilled a need of longing for fellowship with his creator again. The problem is that this cup of corruption contains plagues, pestilences, world hunger, meteorological and earth evens and a host of other tragedies of sufferings known and unknown by man, used as a means to bring man to his knees in repentance. The very thing that Satan, the devil of devils and demons of his co-hearts would never do. In a means to end this list I will look imply at the pestilences that have already come upon man because the numbers and amounts of oppositions are astronomical, including the spirit of delusions available to GODS use and invention. I do so want to jump into the Day of Judgment of GOD and His Christ but for now it is all that I can do is to reveal the following. The LORD willing this will be allowed me next.
Pestilences Sent,
2Samuel 24:15 of 15-17 "So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning until the appointed time. And there died of the people from Dan to Beersheba 70,000 men. And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was working destruction among the people, 'It is enough; now stay your hand.' And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Behold, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let Your hand be against me and against my father's house."
Psalm 78:50 of 40-53 "How often they (the children of Adam, of flesh that is) rebelled against Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert! They tested GOD again and again and provoked the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power or the day when HE redeemed them from the foe, when HE performed His signs in Egypt and His marvels in the fields of Zoan. HE turned their rivers to blood, so that they could not drink of their streams. When HE sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them. When HE gave their crops to the destroying locust and the fruit of their labor to the locust. When HE destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamores with frost. When HE gave over their cattle to the hail and their flocks to thunderbolts. When HE let loose on them His burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels. When HE made a path for His anger; HE did not spare them from death, but gave their lives over to the plague. HE struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham. Then HE led out His people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. For then HE led them in safety, so that they were not afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies."
Amos 4:10 of 6-13 "'I, the LORD gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 'I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain on one city, and send no rain on another city; one field would have rain, and the field on which it did not rain would wither; so two or three cities would wander to another city to drink water, and would not be satisfied; yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 'I struck you with blight and mildew; your many gardens and your vineyards, your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured; yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 'I sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, and carried away your horses, and I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils; yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 'I overthrew some of you, as when GOD overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 'Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your GOD, O Israel! For behold, HE Who forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what is His thought, Who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the LORD, the GOD (Christ) of hosts, is His name!'"

For behold, HE Who forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what is His thought, Who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the LORD, the GOD (Christ) of hosts, is His name!'"

Post, The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 3, False Trusts.9e
The Bible reveals many plagues from those suffered by Egypt because of their religions of rebellion and paganism's and those inflicted on man for much the same reasons of false works of belief and unbelief. Why? Because of a false since of security. Which ultimately appears once man knows the Truth that sets them free. Forgetting that it is the oil of anointing that they share as Christ ones now having all things in common being of one heart, one mind, one spirit and one in the Lord, of the LORD God. Okay, Now for the plagues beginning with some general references to them, these include cancers, droughts, pestilences, and famine, to name but a few.
Plagues, general references,
Leviticus 26:21 of 21-22 "Then if you walk contrary to Me and will not listen to Me, I will continue striking you, seven-fold for your sins. And I will let loose the wild beasts (diseases of blights such as cancers and the like) against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number, so that your roads shall be deserted."
Numbers 14:37 of 36-38 "And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing up a bad report about the land— the men who brought up a bad report of the land—died by plague before the LORD. Of those men who went to spy out the land, only Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive."
Numbers 16:46 of 41-50 "On the next day all the congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed the people of the LORD." And when the congregation (church, body, family) had assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting. And behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting, and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 'Get away (2Corinthians 6:11-7:1, Revelation 18:4-8) from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.' And they fell on their faces. And Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense (the prayers of the righteous,that is the righteousness of GOD) on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from the LORD; the plague has begun." So Aaron took it as Moses said and ran into the midst of the assembly. And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped. Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, besides those who died in the affair of Korah. And Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the tent of meeting, when the plague was stopped."
Numbers 25:9 of 6-9 "Behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting. When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped. Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand."
Deuteronomy 28:59 of 58-68 "If you are not careful to do all the words of this Law (H8451, the other side of this coin that brings condemnation,the left or tails, the other being the right or heads (of G2222), the path way of true life, not the throwing of an arrow or dart) that are written in this (Revelation 20) book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, the LORD your God, then the LORD will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and sicknesses grievous and lasting. And HE will bring upon you again all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. Every sickness also and every affliction that is not recorded in the book of this Law, the LORD will bring upon you, until you are destroyed. Whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God. And as the LORD took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the LORD will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it. And the LORD, 'will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. And among these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, for the LORD will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and a languishing soul. Your life shall hang in doubt before you. Night and day you shall be in dread and have no assurance of your life. In the morning you shall say, "If only it were evening!" and at evening you shall say, "If only it were morning!" because of the dread that your heart shall feel, and the sights that your eyes shall see. And the LORD will bring you back in ships to Egypt, a journey that I promised that you should never make again; and there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.'"
Judgment according to mans works,
Psalm 62:12 of 11-12; Proverbs 24:12 of 11-12 "Once GOD has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to GOD, and that to You, O LORD, belongs steadfast love. For You will render to a man according to his work."
Proverbs 24:12 of 11-12 "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not HE Who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not HE Who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will HE not repay man according to his work?"
Jeremiah 17:10 of 9-11; 32:19 of 16-25, Ezekiel 18:30 of 30-32 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 'I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.' Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool."
Jeremiah 32:19 of 16-25; Ezekiel 18:30 of 30-32 "After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying: "Ah, LORD God! It is You who have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for You. You show steadfast love to thousands, for You repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty GOD, whose name is the LORD of hosts, great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. You have shown signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, and have made a name for Yourself, as at this day. You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and outstretched arm, and with great terror. And You gave them this land, which You swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. And they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law (H8451, the true path of life, they did contrary to). They did nothing of all You commanded them to do. Therefore You have made all this disaster come upon them. Behold, the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and because of sword and famine and pestilence the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has come to pass, and behold, You see it. Yet You, O LORD God, have said to me, 'Buy the field for money and get witnesses'—though the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans."
Ezekiel 18:30 of 30-32, 24-29 "'Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,' declares the Lord GOD. 'Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone,' declares the Lord GOD; 'so turn, and live.'"
This is the "therefore" of verse 30,
Ezekiel 18:24-29 "For when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die. Yet you say, "The way of the Lord is not just." Hear now, 'O house of Israel: Is My way not just? Is it not your ways that are not just? When a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it; for the injustice that he has done he shall die. Again, when a wicked person turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he shall save his life. Because he considered and turned away from all the transgressions that he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. Yet the house of Israel says, "The way of the LORD is not just." 'O house of Israel, are My ways not just? Is it not your ways that are not just?'"
Matthew 16:27 of 24-27; Romans 2:6 of 1-11 "Then Jesus told His disciples, 'If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow (come into agreement) Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then HE will repay each person according to what he has done.'"
Romans 2:6 of 1-11, 1:18-23, 24-25, 26-27, 28-32 "Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of GOD rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of GOD? Or do you presume on the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that GOD's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? For because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for [within] yourself on the day of wrath when GOD's righteous judgment will be revealed. He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, HE will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. For GOD shows no partiality."
Here is what the "therefore" of verse 1 is in reference to; beginning at verse 18-23, 24-25, 26-27, 28-32 of Romans 1. Which speaks of how GOD sees Immoral and Amoral man.
2Corinthians 5:10 of 6-10 "So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the LORD, for we walk by (His) faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the LORD. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."
1Peter 1:17 of 17-21 "If you call on Him as Father Who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in GOD, Who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in GOD.
Revelation 20:12 of 11-15 "Then I saw a great white throne and Him Who was seated on it. From His presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. There I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life (H8451 of the old witness of the tails side of this coin, that opposes the true course of life, of the new witness, in those the right or heads side, G2222, of the absolute fullness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God, and through him both to the hypostatic “logos” and to Christ in whom the “logos” put on human nature, life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion even in this world of those who put their trust in Christ, but after the resurrection to be consummated by new accessions (among them a more perfect body), and to last for ever). And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. For if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he is thrown into the lake of fire."
Revelation 22:12 of 10-11, 12-13 "He (the Lamb) said to me, 'Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing My recompense with Me, to repay each one for what he has done. For I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.'"
Plagues, general references,
Leviticus 26:21 of 21-22 "Then if you walk contrary to Me and will not listen to Me, I will continue striking you, seven-fold for your sins. And I will let loose the wild beasts (diseases of blights such as cancers and the like) against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number, so that your roads shall be deserted."
Numbers 14:37 of 36-38 "And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing up a bad report about the land— the men who brought up a bad report of the land—died by plague before the LORD. Of those men who went to spy out the land, only Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive."
Numbers 16:46 of 41-50 "On the next day all the congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed the people of the LORD." And when the congregation (church, body, family) had assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting. And behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting, and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 'Get away (2Corinthians 6:11-7:1, Revelation 18:4-8) from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.' And they fell on their faces. And Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense (the prayers of the righteous,that is the righteousness of GOD) on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from the LORD; the plague has begun." So Aaron took it as Moses said and ran into the midst of the assembly. And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped. Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, besides those who died in the affair of Korah. And Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the tent of meeting, when the plague was stopped."
Numbers 25:9 of 6-9 "Behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting. When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped. Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand."
Deuteronomy 28:59 of 58-68 "If you are not careful to do all the words of this Law (H8451, the other side of this coin that brings condemnation,the left or tails, the other being the right or heads (of G2222), the path way of true life, not the throwing of an arrow or dart) that are written in this (Revelation 20) book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, the LORD your God, then the LORD will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and sicknesses grievous and lasting. And HE will bring upon you again all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. Every sickness also and every affliction that is not recorded in the book of this Law, the LORD will bring upon you, until you are destroyed. Whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God. And as the LORD took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the LORD will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it. And the LORD, 'will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. And among these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, for the LORD will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and a languishing soul.

Post, The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 3, False Trusts.9d
Continuing with rebellion (in two parts) of man against GOD as part of the things hidden within the cup of Revelation 18:4-8 of 17-18:24, which were held within the cup of the Lord in the garden scene as being offered up to GOD for the removal of them in His death. Thereby setting humanity free form all religious forms and dimensions hidden within this cup. Next the LORD willing we will look at plagues and judgments.
Rebellion, by way of examples against GOD,
1Samuel 8:7 of 4-9 "Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, "Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations." But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD. And the LORD said to Samuel, 'Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking Me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you. Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.'"
Nehemiah 9:26 of 26-31 "Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against You and cast Your law (H8451, the direct course for life) behind their back and killed Your prophets, who had warned them in order to turn them back to You, and they committed great blasphemies. Therefore You gave them into the hand of their enemies, who made them suffer. And in the time of their suffering they cried out to You and You heard them from heaven, and according to Your great mercies You gave them saviors who saved them from the hand of their enemies. But after they had rest they did evil again before You, and You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they turned and cried to You, You heard from heaven, and many times You delivered them according to Your mercies. And You warned them in order to turn them back to Your law (H8451). Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey Your commandments, but sinned against Your rules, which if a person does them, he shall live by them, and they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey. Many years You bore with them and warned them by Your Spirit through Your prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. Nevertheless, in Your great mercies You did not make an end of them or forsake them, for You are a gracious and merciful GOD."
Isaiah 1:5 of 5-6 "Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil."
The result of separation or the silence of GOD within us,
Isaiah 59:13 of 9-20 "Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us; we hope for light, and behold, darkness, and for brightness, but we walk in gloom. We grope for the wall like the blind; we grope like those who have no eyes; we stumble at noon as in the twilight, among those in full vigor we are like dead men. We all growl like bears; we moan and moan like doves; we hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us. For our transgressions are multiplied before You, for our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities: transgressing, and denying the LORD, and turning back from following GOD, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words. Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Now, The LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no one to intercede; with His own arm brought Him salvation, and His righteousness upheld Him. He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped Himself in zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, so will He repays, wrath to His adversaries, repayment to His enemies; to the coastlands He will render repayment. So they shall fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; for He will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the LORD drives. 'A Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,' declares the LORD."
Hosea 7:13-14 of 8-16 "Ephraim (two kinds or types of fruit) mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not. The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this. Ephraim is like a dove, silly and without sense, calling to Egypt, going to Assyria. As they go, I will spread over them My net; I will bring them down like birds of the heavens; I will discipline them according to the report made to their congregation. Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me. They do not cry to Me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves; they rebel against Me. Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against Me. They return, but not upward; they are like a treacherous bow; their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt."
Rebellion against civil authorities,
Deuteronomy 17:12 of 8-13

Rebellion, by way of examples against GOD,
1Samuel 8:7 of 4-9 "Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, "Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations." But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD. And the LORD said to Samuel, 'Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking Me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you. Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.'"
Nehemiah 9:26 of 26-31 "Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against You and cast Your law (H8451, the direct course for life) behind their back and killed Your prophets, who had warned them in order to turn them back to You, and they committed great blasphemies. Therefore You gave them into the hand of their enemies, who made them suffer. And in the time of their suffering they cried out to You and You heard them from heaven, and according to Your great mercies You gave them saviors who saved them from the hand of their enemies. But after they had rest they did evil again before You, and You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them. Yet when they turned and cried to You, You heard from heaven, and many times You delivered them according to Your mercies. And You warned them in order to turn them back to Your law (H8451). Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey Your commandments, but sinned against Your rules, which if a person does them, he shall live by them, and they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey. Many years You bore with them and warned them by Your Spirit through Your prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. Nevertheless, in Your great mercies You did not make an end of them or forsake them, for You are a gracious and merciful GOD."
Isaiah 1:5 of 5-6 "Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil."
The result of separation or the silence of GOD within us,
Isaiah 59:13 of 9-20 "Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us; we hope for light, and behold, darkness, and for brightness, but we walk in gloom. We grope for the wall like the blind; we grope like those who have no eyes; we stumble at noon as in the twilight, among those in full vigor we are like dead men. We all growl like bears; we moan and moan like doves; we hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us. For our transgressions are multiplied before You, for our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities: transgressing, and denying the LORD, and turning back from following GOD, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words. Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter. Truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Now, The LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no one to intercede; with His own arm brought Him salvation, and His righteousness upheld Him. He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped Himself in zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, so will He repays, wrath to His adversaries, repayment to His enemies; to the coastlands He will render repayment. So they shall fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; for He will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the LORD drives. 'A Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,' declares the LORD."
Hosea 7:13-14 of 8-16 "Ephraim (two kinds or types of fruit) mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not. The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him, for all this. Ephraim is like a dove, silly and without sense, calling to Egypt, going to Assyria. As they go, I will spread over them My net; I will bring them down like birds of the heavens; I will discipline them according to the report made to their congregation. Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me. They do not cry to Me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves; they rebel against Me. Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against Me. They return, but not upward; they are like a treacherous bow; their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt."

The next sister in this kind of sin is known as perverseness and it is her that we will look at now.
Perverseness,
Proverbs 11:3 of 1-6 "A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust."
Proverbs 12:8 of 5-10 "The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers them. The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand. A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is despised. Better to be lowly and have a servant than to play the great man and lack bread. Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."
Proverbs 15:4 of 1-11 "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. A fool despises his father's instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but trouble befalls the income of the wicked. The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to Him. The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but HE loves him who pursues righteousness. There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; whoever hates reproof will die. Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of the children of man!"
Proverbs 28:6 of 1-9 "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue. A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food. Those who forsake the law (H8451, the path of true life) praise the wicked, but those who keep the law (H8451) strive against them. Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely. Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways. The one who keeps the law (H8451) is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father. Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit gathers it for him who is generous to the poor. If one turns away his ear from hearing the law (H8451), even his prayer is an abomination."
Ezekiel 9:9 of 9-10 "Then HE said to me, 'The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice. For they say, "The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see." As for Me, My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will bring their deeds upon their heads."
Matthew 17:17 of 14-18 "When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Him and, kneeling before Him, said, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him." To this Jesus answered, 'O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me.' And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly."
1Timothy 6:5 of 3-10 "If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. For godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."

Post, The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 3, False Trusts .9b
Since the day of GOD's Transformation took place, some times called the Day of the LORD in scripture and the promised New Covenant took hold all things have been spiritual known and shared with spiritual man. This day is when the LORD'S Spirit was given and has been given to those born of women ever since, it is the anointing that for many has been withheld or nor received because we have failed to learn of Him, Matthew 11:29 of 28-30. So here we are about to look into "Rebellion," beginning as is customary at the beginning and then comes perverseness, the LORD willing.
Rebellion, Against GOD, Condemned,
Deuteronomy 9:24 of 12-14, 15-21, 22-24 "Then the LORD said to me, Moses, 'Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them; they have made themselves a metal image.' Furthermore, the LORD said to me, 'I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stubborn people. Let ME alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. And I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'
So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. And I looked, and behold, they indeed had sinned against the LORD your God. So I said to them, "You had made yourselves a golden calf. You have turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you." So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes. Then I lay prostrate before the LORD as I had done before, for forty days and forty nights. And I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke Him to anger. For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the LORD bore against you, so great was it that HE was ready to destroy you." But the LORD listened to me that time also. And the LORD was so angry with Aaron that HE was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. Then I took the sinful thing, the calf that you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I threw the dust of it into the brook that ran down from the mountain."
"At Taberah also, and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath. And when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, 'Go up and take possession of the land that I have given you,' then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God and did not believe Him or obey His voice. For You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you."
1Samuel 15:23 of 20-23 "Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have obeyed the voice of the LORD. I have gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me. I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and I have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal." To this Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, HE has rejected you from being king."
Nehemiah 9:17 of 16-25 "But they and our forefathers acted presumptuously and stiffened their necks and did not obey Your commandments. They refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that You performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them. Even when they had made for themselves a golden calf and said, "This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt," and had committed that great blasphemies, You in Your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. For Your pillar of cloud to lead them in the way did not depart from them by day, nor the pillar of fire by night to light for them the way by which they should go. You gave them Your good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold Your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst. Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell. And You gave them kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner. So they took possession of the land of Sihon king of Heshbon and the land of Og king of Bashan. You multiplied their children as the stars of heaven, and You brought them into the land that You had told their fathers to enter and possess. So the descendants went in and possessed the land, and You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. And they captured fortified cities and a rich land, and took possession of houses full of all good things, cisterns already hewn, vineyards, olive orchards and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled and became fat and delighted themselves in Your great goodness."
Psalm 68:6 of 5-10 "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is GOD in His holy habitation. GOD settles the solitary in a home; HE leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. O GOD, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wilderness, the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before GOD, the One in Sinai, before GOD, the GOD of Israel. Rain in abundance, O GOD, You shed abroad; You restored Your inheritance as it languished; Your flock found a dwelling in it; in Your goodness, O GOD, You provide for the needy."
Isaiah 30:1 of 1-5 "'Ah, stubborn children,'" declares the LORD, "'who carry out a plan, but not Mine, and who make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for My direction, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation. For though his officials are at Zoan and his envoys reach Hanes, everyone comes to shame through a people that cannot profit them, that brings neither help nor profit, but shame and disgrace.'"
Isaiah 65:2 of 1-7 "I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek Me. I said, 'Here I am, here I am,' to a nation that was not called by My name. I spread out My hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices; a people who provoke Me to My face continually, sacrificing in gardens and making offerings on bricks; who sit in tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig's flesh, and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels; who say, "Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you." These are a smoke of stench in My nostrils, a fire that burns all the day. Behold, it is written before Me (in Psalm 50:3, 21): "'I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will indeed repay into their lap both your iniquities and your fathers' iniquities together,' says the LORD; 'because they made offerings on the mountains and insulted Me on the hills, I will measure into their lap payment for their former deeds.'"
Jeremiah 5:5 of 1-3, 4-6 "Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth, that I may pardon her. Though they say, "As the LORD lives," yet they swear falsely. O LORD, do not Your eyes look for truth? You have struck them down, but they felt no anguish; You have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent."
Then I said, "These are only the poor; they have no sense; for they do not know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God. I will go to the great and will speak to them, for they know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God." But they all alike have broken the yoke; they had burst the bonds. Therefore a lion from the forest shall strike them down; a wolf from the desert shall devastate them. A leopard is watching their cities; everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many, their apostasies are great."
Ezekiel 2:3 of 1-7 "Then HE said to me, 'Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.' And as HE spoke to me, His Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me. Then HE said to me, 'Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against Me. They and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD God.' And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And you shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.'"
Ezekiel 12:2 of 1-6, 7 "The word of the LORD came to me: 'Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house. As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house. You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile (2Timothy 2:25 of 20-3:9; 2Corinthians 6:11-7:1), and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who must go into exile. In their sight dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it. In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel.'"
I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight."
Rebellion, Against GOD, Condemned,
Deuteronomy 9:24 of 12-14, 15-21, 22-24 "Then the LORD said to me, Moses, 'Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them; they have made themselves a metal image.' Furthermore, the LORD said to me, 'I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stubborn people. Let ME alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. And I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'
So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and I have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."

O GOD, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wilderness, the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before GOD, the One in Sinai, before GOD, the GOD of Israel. Rain in abundance, O GOD, You shed abroad; You restored Your inheritance as it languished; Your flock found a dwelling in it; in Your goodness, O GOD, You provide for the needy."
Isaiah 30:1 of 1-5 "'Ah, stubborn children,'" declares the LORD, "'who carry out a plan, but not Mine, and who make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for My direction, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation. For though his officials are at Zoan and his envoys reach Hanes, everyone comes to shame through a people that cannot profit them, that brings neither help nor profit, but shame and disgrace.'"
Isaiah 65:2 of 1-7 "I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek Me. I said, 'Here I am, here I am,' to a nation that was not called by My name. I spread out My hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices; a people who provoke Me to My face continually, sacrificing in gardens and making offerings on bricks; who sit in tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig's flesh, and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels; who say, "Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you." These are a smoke of stench in My nostrils, a fire that burns all the day. Behold, it is written before Me (in Psalm 50:3, 21): "'I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will indeed repay into their lap both your iniquities and your fathers' iniquities together,' says the LORD; 'because they made offerings on the mountains and insulted Me on the hills, I will measure into their lap payment for their former deeds.'"
Jeremiah 5:5 of 1-3, 4-6 "Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth, that I may pardon her. Though they say, "As the LORD lives," yet they swear falsely. O LORD, do not Your eyes look for truth? You have struck them down, but they felt no anguish; You have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent."
Then I said, "These are only the poor; they have no sense; for they do not know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God. I will go to the great and will speak to them, for they know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God." But they all alike have broken the yoke; they had burst the bonds. Therefore a lion from the forest shall strike them down; a wolf from the desert shall devastate them. A leopard is watching their cities; everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many, their apostasies are great."
Ezekiel 2:3 of 1-7 "Then HE said to me, 'Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.' And as HE spoke to me, His Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me. Then HE said to me, 'Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against Me. They and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD God.' And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And you shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.'"
Ezekiel 12:2 of 1-6, 7 "The word of the LORD came to me: 'Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house. As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house. You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile (2Timothy 2:25 of 20-3:9; 2Corinthians 6:11-7:1), and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who must go into exile. In their sight dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it. In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel.'"
I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight."
