your enemy by Joseph Alayne. I myself, the sovereign Lord,
am now your enemy, Ezekiel 5.8. Unconverted sinner, you are not
only against God, but God himself is against you. as there is no
friend like him, so there is no enemy like him. As much as
heaven is above the earth, omnipotence above impotence, so much more
terrible is to fall into the hands of the living God than
into the paws of bears and lions. Yes, furies or devils. God himself will be your tormentor. Who or what shall deliver you
out of his hands? Sinner, I think this would go
like a dagger to your heart, to know that God himself is your
enemy. Or where will you go? Where will
you shelter yourself? The infinite God is engaged against
you. He hates all workers of iniquity. Man, does not your heart tremble
to think of your being the object of God's infinite hatred? As
surely as I live, when I sharpen my flashing sword and begin to
carry out justice, I will bring vengeance on my enemies and repay
those who hate me. Deuteronomy 32 40-41 the power of God is mounted like
a mighty cannon against you. Sinner, the power of God's anger
is against you, and power and anger together make fearful work.
There is no escaping his hands, no breaking loose from his prison. O consider this, you who forget
God, lest He tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver.
Psalm 50,22 Submit to His mercy, let not dust and stubble battle
against the Almighty. Woe to him who strives with his
Maker. Isaiah 45,9
