How do we know God's judgment is imminent?

Biblical prophecy, like that found in Isaiah 57, serves as a stark reminder of God's forthcoming judgment against the wicked and idolatrous. The text illustrates that those who oppose God are blind to the truth of His righteousness and ultimately face destruction. The prophetic nature of these writings assures us of a sovereign God who will not let wickedness prevail. The anticipation of God's judgment emphasizes His sovereignty over both the saved and the lost, assuring believers of justice while calling sinners to repentance.
