The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            our  imperfections,  we  can  receive  mercy  and
            forgiveness.
                    This is so for the convert turning to Christ
            for they too can approach for their need of mercy
            (Hesed)  and  forgiveness  that  restores  them  to
            holiness and right standing with God, the just and
            merciful judge.  It  is all  by grace  we  cannot  earn
            nor purchase let alone, deserve.
                    At the Crucifixion, Jesus established a new
            and  better  covenant  wherein  the  year  of  Grace
            began  so  that  until  Jesus  returns  to  judge  the
            living and the dead, everyone no matter how bad
            they  are  can  accept  Jesus  as  Lord  and  receive
            eternal life and salvation. If they turn to him, God
            will accept them as though they had never sinned.
                    However, what of those who do not repent
            of their evil-doing when the warning signs of his
            coming begin?
                    Firstly,  even  when  the  tribulations  begin,
            anyone can still repent and so be saved, but when
            Jesus  appears  at  the  sound  of  an  archangel's
            trumpet, the day of salvation and the time of grace
            ends and then only - judgement. (1 Thessalonians 4:
            16-17)
