End of all things: God still desires repentance

As the destruction of heaven and Earth come:

And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. (Revelation 9:15, 18 NIV)

There is still a chance for them to repent of their ways and turn to God who is becoming clearer.

The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
(Revelation 9:20, 21 NIV)

Yet the people will not repent of their ways. They will not turn from their evil even as the world is destroyed around them.

God soften hearts that people might repent and turns to you. I believe you desire all people to repent and turn to you and be saved, and yet we see in scripture and in our world many will reject you. Yet I trust you are bigger and your love is great. The new heaven is not diminished by those who choose their own sin and own Gods and choose not to dwell with you.

Amen
