REGRETS

READ: Luke 22:61-62

And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and THEY SHALL WEEP FOR THEE with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. :- Ezekiel 27:31

Weeping and gnashing of teeth is to grind teeth together in rage, pain, frustration and disappointment. Many people will be disappointed in eternity, having wasted the opportunities that came to them on earth.

The phrase “weeping and gnashing” appears five times in the Bible. Jesus used this phrase on five different occasions. He was trying to give us a glimpse of the deep sense of loss and regret some people will feel when they get to Heaven.

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and THEY GNASHED on him with their teeth.
Acts 7:54

The term “weeping and gnashing” is a prophetic warning about eternal points of regret. The prophecies of this terrible event are a prophetic warning about the pain, the anger, the sorrow, the regret, the remorse and the sense of loss that will be felt on getting into Heaven without being ready for it.

All those who end up weeping and gnashing their teeth will miss out on something important. They will miss eternal rewards they could have had! They will miss the joy they would have had and they will miss the crowns of glory. You must do whatever you can to avoid becoming one of these. Indeed, these moments of regret, where you cannot go back and do what you could have done are terrible moments of weeping and gnashing.

You see, life is so short! It passes so quickly and soon it is gone. You just have one life to live on earth, so remember your Creator while you have breath! Before you know it, it’s come and gone. So make the most of it while you can! And remember your Creator whilst you have breath!
