In the book of Jeremiah the prophet Jeremiah is not only giving revelation by God of the destruction of Israel-Judah and the coming of judgment for adultery in Jeremiah 21 but also the final judgment of the world and its kingdoms.  Jeremiah 25:27 (NKJV) says, “27 “Therefore you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Drink, be drunk, and vomit! Fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.”’. This points to the final judgment on the vessels of destruction which is after May 21, 2011, the rapture of the vessels prepared for salvation. In Jeremiah 25:29, 1 Peter 4:17 and Hebrews 6:4-6 are referring to judgment on the church.

In the Bible God shows a pattern of two vessels that refers to man, the saved and the unsaved. God shows He has complete control over His creation man, and that He is able to change the substance of man. In verse of John 5:3 it talks about being born of His Spirit Ezekiel 36:25-27shows it is God who does the transformation of a new creation. Titus 3:5 the washing and regeneration by God’s Spirit. It is the Spirit, the power of God that does the transformation into a complete sanctified person. John 6:29 (NKJV) “. . . “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” Hebrews 12:2.

A description of the two types of vessels are in Romans 9:22 the vessel of wrath prepared for destruction and Romans 9:23 the vessel of mercy prepared for salvation. In Jeremiah 24 the good and bad figs are the saved and the unsaved. Not only outside the church, but also inside the church there are saved and unsaved people. In Matthew 13:24-30 both vessels are members of the church where the Word and Law of God are taught. The wheat are the saved. The tares are the unsaved. Only God knows the difference between the two. An example of tares are Ananias and Sapphira. They did not have the grace of salvation. Ephesians 1:13 (NKJV) “13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.” Ananias and Sapphira’s sins were not covered or forgiven. Romans 4:7-8 (NKJV) “7 “ Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,  And whose sins are covered;  8 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.”

In Jeremiah 17:10 the Scriptures talk about God judging people according
