Juízo de Deus: o que significa e como ele restaura a justiça

O que significa o juízo de Deus

O juízo de Deus é a avaliação justa e definitiva que Ele faz de todas as pessoas, obras e intenções humanas. Longe de ser apenas condenação ou castigo, o juízo bíblico é o acerto de contas que restabelece a verdade, corrige a injustiça e separa o mal do bem.

A Escritura ensina que nada fica encoberto diante dessa avaliação:

For God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.(Ecclesiastes 12:14)

No Novo Testamento, essa autoridade foi confiada a Jesus Cristo. Ele revela os corações e exerce a justiça de Deus tanto para salvação dos que creem quanto para discernimento dos que o rejeitam:

For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens [them]; even so the Son quickens whom he will.

For the Father no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:

That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honours not the Son honours not the Father which has sent him.

Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God-The Father: and they that hear shall live.

For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;

And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of Man.

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.(John 5:21-31)

And he said, Lord - Kurios, I believe. And he worshipped him.

And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.(John 9:38,39)

A cruz é o ponto central desse julgamento: ali o pecado foi julgado e o poder que escravizava a humanidade foi quebrado:

Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.(John 12:30-32)

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Of sin, because they believe not on me;(John 16:7-9)

A prestação de contas de cada pessoa

A Bíblia ensina que ninguém passa despercebido diante de Deus. Cada indivíduo responderá pessoalmente por suas escolhas, atitudes e pela forma como lidou com a verdade revelada:

Him that is weak in the faith receive you2f, [but] not to doubtful disputations.

For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs.

Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God-The Father has received him.

Who are youi that judge another man’s slave? to his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he shall be held up: for God-The Father is able to make him stand.(Romans 14:1-4)

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God-The Father.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother’s way.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation], that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.(Romans 14:12-14)

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord - Kurios come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God-The Father.(1 Corinthians 4:5)

Esse exame criterioso começa pelo próprio povo de Deus. Por saber que todos estão debaixo do mesmo padrão reto, os cristãos são chamados a abandonar a censura hipócrita contra os outros:

For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God-The Father: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the Gospel (joyful message) of God-The Father?(1 Peter 4:17)

"With what judgment you judge and with what measure you use, it will be measured to you".

"Why do you see the straw in the eyes of the other person but not see the beam in your own eyes"

"How is it that you say to the other person: ‘Wait for me awhile and I will cast the straw out of your eyes’, and behold the beam is in your own eyes?"(Gosel 7:2-4)

O juízo como livramento e restauração

Para quem sofre a maldade e a opressão, o juízo divino não é ameaça, mas promessa de socorro. No Antigo Testamento, os juízos de Deus contra o Egito foram os atos concretos pelos quais Ele libertou o seu povo da escravidão:

For what reason say unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitzri, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:(Exodus 6:6)

For I will pass through the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] this night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], both man and beast; and against all the gods of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).(Exodus 12:12)

Reconhecer que Deus é o juiz legítimo leva tanto ao arrependimento sincero diante da própria culpa quanto à confiança de que o santuário e a honra de Deus não serão derrotados pelo mal:

Against youi, youi only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in youri sight: that youi might be justified when youi speak, [and] be clear when youi judge.(Tehillim - Psalms 51:4)

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

They have cast fire into youri sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of youri name to the ground.(Tehillim - Psalms 74:6,7)

Tziyon [Parched Place] heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] rejoiced because of youri judgments, O LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].(Tehillim - Psalms 97:8)

O desfecho da história humana culmina no triunfo final dessa justiça, quando todo engano e tirania são definitivamente julgados e removidos:

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord - Kurios our God-The Father:

For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

And again they said, Halleluyah [Praise Be Unto Yehovah!]. And her smoke rose up forever and ever.(Revelation 19:1-3)
