The Seperation of the Sheep and the Goats

"Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple.
And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's inkhorn at his side; and the Lord said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."
To the others He said in my hearing, ‘Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary’"
(Ez. 9:3-6).

Today are we the ones "who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done"?
Or have we become callused and desensitized to evil?
Do we laugh along with the world as we indulge in our favorite TV programs that have immoral themes like "Desperate Housewives," or laugh at the latest comic's dirty jokes? Has the cry for liberty and tolerance that we hear in the world, and unfortunately in the "church," muzzled your mouth from speaking up for truth? When that happens our hearts soon follow.
Do we have the Lord’s mark on our foreheads or are we tainted by the world?

It's not hard to see .God always tests His people to reveal what is really in their hearts. He already knows,but exposes it ,brings the truth out in the open.
God gave His people a choice of trusting in Him alone or another one who assumes to bring peace and safety. The majority have fallen overthmeselves to bow before a false peacemaker and serve him heart and soul. These decieved saints are now under a strong delusion ,which is the judgment of God that leads to their destruction and end.
We cannot serve two masters.
