The day of judgment is coming .
There it is , just a few words into verse Romans 1:18 … “ against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men .” God will not be mocked , and the wrath of God will be revealed , and a day of judgment is coming , for as noted in Malachi 3:19a , “ For behold , the day is coming — it will burn like a furnace — when all the proud and every evildoer will become stubble . The day that is coming will set them ablaze " — says Adonai-Tzva ’ ot .”
Look who is getting burned : the proud and every evildoer . So , why are people walking the earth as if judgment is not coming ? - I believe it is because of demonic deception and delusion . It is because of a spirit of pride that sinful mankind turns from God and follows their own way . To reinforce this , three additional Scriptures must be noted . The first is an admonition for us to be humble , while the other two serve as warnings against human pridefulness .
“ Humble yourselves in the sight of Adonai , and He shall lift you up .” - Jacob ( James ) 4:10
“ Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall . Better to be lowly in spirit with the afflicted than to share the spoil with the proud .” - Proverbs 16:18-19
“ For the day of Adonai-Tzva ’ ot will be against anyone proud and haughty , against anyone lifted up — he will be humbled .” - Isaiah 2:12

The revelation of Yeshua to the whole earth is yet to come where the Psalmist reminds ,
“ Adonai has made His salvation known . He has revealed His righteousness before the eyes of the nations ”. ( Psalm 98:2 )
The Lack of Excuse and the Hope of God !
No matter how we study these verses , the bottom line doesn ’ t change … if we choose to disobey God and go our own way , we are all without excuse . As we approach the Passover season , for us as believers , it is vital that we do not miss this point .
As Romans 1:18 insists , “… the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men .”
Yet it is by God ’ s grace that Adonai sent Yeshua , His only Son as our Pesach Lamb , and the Sacrifice for all of our sins . This is the hope that we have in Yeshua - that if we turn from our sins then we will be delivered because Yeshua our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us . ( 1 Corinthians 5:7 )
None of us has any excuse !
