"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
It is given at the conclusions of all things at the end of the Book of Revelations, assuming the text is written in some sort of sequence. Oddly, John repeats his previous error of trying to worship an Angel. He might have been really shredded and tired after everything he had been through, especially as an old, old guy scraping out a living on Patmos.
The other odd thing here is that the Angel's statements, assumedly from God, are nonclimactic after thousands of years of Scripture showing how Jesus did so much to bring into being righteous people for the Glory of God. Even to the extent of "Reconciling All Things to Himself." It is as if Jesus says, "Well Okay, Whatever ... Move on, People."
Has anybody ever heard a Sermon on this Theology/Doctrine in order to contribute to the discussion? Because after all, The Professional Church Talkers are the best source. And, we should be remembering all of their Sermons which we hear.
