The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Rev１０：５And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants　the prophets. 1 Co. 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Malachi 3:2But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. 3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord. Colossians 1：23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church 2 co. 1:4 God comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. 6If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Roman8：18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.   Outline: The Zeal of the Lord                 Demonstration of the zeal of the Lord in the church era is in His grace Cherish our life today---Follow the zeal of the Lord                 Our wonderful counselor                 Experience He is wonderful--- he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap                 Experience He is our counselor Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called                 Cherish the opportunity we have on earth to grow with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it Zeal of the Lord has to be followed with our obedience                 We have the right of not understanding God’s work but we have no right to doubt His work                    Our Lord is good, for his steadfast love endures forever (Psalm 107:1) Every personal experience has a corporate meaning                 In my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church                 God comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, With the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Viewing today’s event from God’s perspective                 the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
