When God Cries No More for Humanity
Volume 4 The Tears of Calvary
by Ernest Angley
March 1991
God wants the world to know that the time will come when He will have no more tears for lost humanity. What a fearful thing! As I sat in the presence of God, He told me how He felt, that one day His last tear would be shed; and He gave scriptures to confirm what He said. God’s last great cry to humanity is going on right now throughout the whole world. We’re a part of this cry, the Bride of Christ with the tears of Calvary, the tears of God, the tears of Jesus, the tears of the Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us that we have been made partakers of His divine nature.
Contained in the tears of Calvary are all the love, compassion, mercy of God. In the tears of Calvary God provided that all the fruits of the Spirit could be manifested in each child of God’s life. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance (Galatians 5:22,23).
What does God cry about? Why does He cry? He didn’t cry in Eden…not until man sinned. In the book of Genesis, we Hear God’s first cry to fallen humanity: Adam…Where art thou (Genesis 3:9)? That cry has been going forth down through the ages to other Adam’s, other Eve’s…God crying over His lost children. Where art thou? Why don’t you love me? Why do you live in sin when you could live in my righteousness and be blessed? Why is your back turned to me? Why don’t you want to walk the straight road with me that leads to Heaven? Why won’t you believe me? Why do you fail to learn from those who have fallen, those in hell today? Look at the first Adam, the first Eve I created. They didn’t believe what I told them, and so they fell into the clutches of Lucifer. Why don’t you really look at the human race to see what the devil has done to lives, bodies and souls? Think of the multitudes who have been eternally damned. God doesn’t cry over them anymore; He doesn’t cry over those in hell, those in eternity without Him, not a bit. God won’t cry over you one split second after you die in sin.
Without a Tear, God Brought Judgment
Adam had been driven from the Garden; now the descendants of Adam, following in his steps had degraded themselves in sin, sin, sin until God could no longer bear the stench of the human race. With great tears, God finally decided to destroy them all. Yet out of the darkness He heard a voice crying for Him. It was Noah. Noah found grace in the eyes of God; and so for over one hundred years, God was able to cry with Noah for a lost, lost race of people. While Noah was building the ark, the cry of God went forth to the inhabitants of the land. Through the Noah family that cry rang out. It was long time for God to cry, but think of the thousands of years He has cried for lost souls since that time.
As Noah and his family boarded the ark, God cried. He cried those seven days the ark door stood open. God thought about the first man and woman He made, how horrifying it had been when they fell into sin, how it grieved His heart when He had to drive them from the Garden and place cherubim at the gate with a flaming sword to keep them out. Never will God forget the way He cried that day.
God cried again the day the ark door was to close. Those outside were given one last chance to repent. Tomorrow they would be in eternity, unprepared to meet their God. As God stood looking at the ark so long in the making, He knew a multitude of people were steeped in sin, darkness. All their thoughts were evil continually. God, shedding the tears of His great love, His burning tears of great compassion for lost humanity, reached down, took hold of the ark door and pushed it shut. But when the ark door was sealed, it was a tearless God who poured down the rains from heaven and opened up the fountains of the earth. In a panic, people scrambled for higher grounds. When all else failed they began to pray—but they found no compassion, no tears of God, no love; for their prayers contained no love for God but were filled with fear and anger. Without a tear, God brought judgment on those outside the ark of safety. God will not shed tears when He brings final judgment to human beings; they would be useless tears. God sheds tears when those tears can help. If people shut themselves out of reach of His tears, if His tears will not move them, God cries no more. It’s over and done with.
God: Mocking Fears, Laughing at Calamities
To be without Heaven’s tears is to be without the love, compassion and yearning of Heaven. Earth screams, and it matters not to God—when He has no tears. The suffering cry, and God doesn’t hear. You don’t think God can be like that? Let’s go to Proverbs. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh (Proverbs 1:24-26). It will be a laughing Judge on that Great White Throne, a mocking Judge, a Judge without sympathy, without love, compassion. Heaven’s Judge will be without one tear. When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer (verses 27,28).
You may have never thought of God as laughing and mocking when fear takes over the disobedient, but that’s how God said He would be. Learn all about God; know what the sinner can expect from His anger. Recognize the God of destruction. The Bible teaches a God of destruction as much as it teaches a God of love. It tells of a God with tears and a God without tears.
Disobedience Brings Judgment
God cried when He brought Lot and his family out of Sodom and Gomorrah, cried over the disobedient left behind. He cried over the men married to the daughters of Lot because they didn’t care, didn’t believe in Him. Then judgment fell, and God’s tears ceased. God cried when Lot’s wife was about to be turned into a pillar of salt, but suddenly the tears were gone. Lot’s wife disobeyed, and God—no longer crying—brought judgment.
How would you feel were God to look at you without the tears of Calvary? Imagine what it would be like—you who are in sin. You are on dangerous ground—you who are failing God. You think you can find the Lord anytime you want—you can as long as He has tears for you. But one day those tears may not be there, and you’ll be doomed for all time and eternity, no hope of Heaven left at all. The only escape from damnation for you is in the tears of Calvary, the only love, the only faith, the only salvation. Without those tears you are damned.
Take Another Look at God
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). You can only find the Lord through the tears of Calvary, but one day those tears will all be wiped away. One day the tears of Calvary that scarred the heart of God, that caused Heaven to cry as never before—and is still crying—one day those tears will all be wiped away by God. One day Heaven won’t cry anymore. The angels will not be rejoicing over souls coming to God—no more will be saved. God’s mercy will have ended. The human race that rejected the tears of Calvary, rejected the crucified Jesus, rejected His love and faith will be out of reach of Heaven. No tears to draw them to God. They will be without hope. Oh they will cry, but God won’t listen; He will mock them as they plead for mercy, as they tremble in fear. While they bow and pray, God will laugh at their calamity; He said He would. Take another look at God.
God gave me this message, laid it out the way He wanted it preached. I’m just His mouthpiece, just speaking the mind and thoughts of God. God has given me His mind and thoughts on His judgments with the Word of God to back Him up; take heed.
God’s last cry went forth in Egypt just before He drowned the Egyptian army. As the waters closed, God’s tears ceased to fall. Not a horseman or a horse was saved.
The Lion and the Lamb
Jesus is described in the Bible as having two personalities, that of the lamb and that of the lion. The Bride of Christ walks with her Groom Jesus; she knows those “dove” eyes of the Lamb. With the eyes of love, He looks on the Bride today. Read about Him in the Song of Solomon; study Him. Go to Calvary; see that dark scene; see the Lamb dying for the sins of the world and then go to the book of Revelation and read of God’s judgments on those who turned their backs to the crucified Lamb.
God cried when they crowned Jesus with thorns, oh how He cried! But, oh, how He will rejoice when Jesus is crowned King of kings and Lord of lords! How God’s heart will leap with joy as His Son leaves Heaven, the Lion of the tribe of Judah!
The Lamb of God was full of tears—tears of love, peace, joy, faith, longsuffering, gentleness, self-control; but no tears will be found in the Lion of the tribe of Judah. His eyes will burn like fire. Where will those dove eyes be then? See Jesus first with tears for all humanity; then see Him in Revelation as He smites the nations, as He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God (Revelation 19:15). No more tears. The wrath of God’s judgment will be so fierce that the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand (Revelation 6:15-17)? God will laugh at their terror, mock them. They didn’t want God; now He doesn’t want them.
Wrath Poured Out without Mixture
Revelation is a book full of judgment without tears. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever (Revelation 14:9-11). God’s wrath will be poured out without mixture of love, kindness, goodness, gentleness. His wrath will be poured out without the tears of Calvary.
God warns people today with many, many tears of Calvary, with all the greatness of Him in those tears; but the book of Revelation tells us that God’s longsuffering will come to an end. Those who take the mark of the beast will be tortured in the presence of the Lamb without tears, with no end to their torment. The Lamb of God…mocking.
And they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name (Revelation 14:11). Multitudes, multitudes, multitudes will take the mark of the beast in the Tribulation Period. My Lord, and my God!
The Bride, Full of Tears
God is shaking the earth one more time with His love, His miraculous power; but He is also shaking it with His judgments. The tears of Calvary are being shed now like never before because the Bride of Christ is on planet Earth full of those tears. Never have so many carried the tears of Calvary as in this final hour. What a weight presses on the heart of the Bride of Christ as she thinks of the multitudes perishing all around her, perishing throughout the whole world. We must not fail to take the Gospel to the world; in the tears of Calvary is the great “Go-ye” Jesus gave to the Early Church disciples. But they did not have that “Go-ye” until they accepted Calvary’s tears on the day of Pentecost. The tears of Calvary were the reason God could do so much through the Early Church.
The glorious Bride in step with Jesus, in love with Him, is shedding the tears of Calvary. Nothing of God’s grace is lacking in those tears; weakness is gone. The tears of Calvary are tears of strength, as strong as God Himself. Everything needed for mankind’s deliverance, soul, mind and body, is found in the tears of Calvary. On that day those tears cease, where will you be?
The Bride is faithful; she rescues everyone she can. Her garments unspotted, without wrinkles, every step holy, the Bride talks like Jesus, lives like Him and is like Him in her ways. Carrying His Gospel to all nations, she eagerly awaits His call: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him (Matthew 25:6)! With tears of joy she will answer the midnight cry of the Groom: Hallelujah, He has come!
Crying her last tears, the Bride will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, caught away to be with her Lord forever. The Rapture door will close just as the ark door closed on Noah and his family. No more tears of Calvary can ever be shed by the Bride again. She will go to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, a time of great rejoicing. The prophets of old, the saints of all ages will be there with the beautiful, glorious Bride, the raptured Church of Jesus Christ.
Treasure the Tears
Think of the fruits of the Spirit that God provided to be produced and manifested in each child’s life through the tears of Calvary. Let me name them for you again: Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature (II Peter 1:4). Treasure the tears of Calvary more than life; they bring great and precious promises. They are the most valuable possession on Earth today for God’s people. Without those tears we will fail, disappoint the Lord. Without those tears, multitudes that could have been won will go to hell.
Devoted to taking the heart of Jesus to the multitudes, the Glorious Church is yielded to the will of the Master. What a day it will be when the Bride of Christ sheds her last tears! She will not be here to cry during the Tribulation Period. The Holy Ghost won’t be on Earth at that time to cry through human beings. He will have finished His mission—getting the Bride ready for her Groom—and then the Holy Ghost will take His flight with the Bride of Christ at the Rapture. The Holy Ghost dispensation will close when the Bride of Christ is taken out.
But for those left behind, no longer is there a way of escape from the Tribulation Period; no longer does the Bride shed tears for those outside the ark door. When she was still on Earth, her cry went up before God night and day. And with all the power of Heaven, the Lord used every tear of Calvary she shed. But even the tears of Calvary cannot force sinners to come to God if they don’t want Him. People must want to come to Him, to come by choice.
Oh Child of God, treasure the tears of Calvary! Never let them escape. They have all the strength, the power necessary for any soul to be delivered who wants to be.
The tears of Calvary can only be shed by humanity yielding to the Spirit of God; the human spirit must yield to divinity. No one can cry the tears of Calvary without the Spirit of God.
The tears of Calvary…what grief, what longing, what yearning they contain! The tears of Calvary are a marvel in my eyes, in my spirit. I treasure them more than I treasure my life…the tears of Calvary.
Plagues, Plagues, Plagues
In the book of Revelation you find that God’s vengeance will replace the tears of Calvary. No wonder the angels of God are crying, Woe, woe, woe to men on Earth! Think of God’s vengeance—no love, no compassion, plagues following plagues of destruction from the skies. The small earthquakes shaking the earth today are nothing, comparatively speaking, to the earthquake God will send. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found (Revelation 16:18-20). Hailstones falling from the skies will weigh almost one hundred pounds. The judgments of God cause people to blaspheme, to damn Him with every devilish word they can think of, but God doesn’t care; it doesn’t bother Him now. The tears of Calvary are missing. No longer is God’s heart grieved; now He is laughing at man’s calamity, mocking their fear.
But today He still cares, cares with all the passion in the tears of Calvary. Sinners grieve Him; backsliders hurt Him every minute around the clock. Lukewarm Christians grieve His heart day and night. In the Tribulation Period, however, they won’t touch His compassion. He will have no more tears for them.
No Judgment Too Severe
Love, God’s love, turns to hate in the Tribulation Period for all who take the mark of the beast. Who would have ever thought it? God so loved the world that He gave Jesus. Now those who have spit in His eye, those who said they wanted nothing to do with His Son will find God’s love turned into hate. That’s the reason such terrible judgments—devastation like the world has never seen or thought possible—will rain down.
Because God’s judgments will be so severe, the devil has tried to deceive everyone in the Christian world he can into believing those prophecies will not be fulfilled, that a God of love would not do such awful things. But He will. God does not lie. God can hate just as strongly as He has ever loved. In God’s love nothing is too wonderful, too great, too lowly for Him to do for mankind. But when He hates, no judgment is too severe, no suffering too intense, no torture too horrible. Jesus tells of the rich man who lifted up his eyes in hell, crying that he was tormented in the flame. God lets you know that He is a God of hate as well as a God of love; and He hates sin. His judgment will be given without tears, without pity, without sympathy. I will laugh, He says; I will mock. Is that the God who has pleaded with tears for the human race to come to Him? Is that the God who gave His Son on Calvary? Is He now saying the disobedient will be tormented day and night forever and ever? Yes, He is. My Lord and my God! God can hate just as much as He has loved.
Paul Cried His Last Tears
That last day of tears came for Paul, that last day he cried the tears of Calvary. With the tears of Calvary he walked out before a crowd of mocking, hissing, devilish people on his way to the chop block. Paul said he was serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears (Acts 20:19). Paul shed many tears for souls. He tells us that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears (Acts 20:31). Paul writes to the Corinthians: For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears (II Corinthians 2:4). The Pauline Epistles were written with the tears of Calvary. Paul became so much like Jesus that he had the same tears. That’s the reason every book he wrote is thus saith the Lord. He doesn’t omit the judgments of God but warns of them. With the tears of Calvary Paul named the seventeen works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), and said that those indulging in any of them would have no part of the Kingdom of God.
The sword came down on his neck; his head rolled into the gutter, but at that moment Paul beheld the heavenly streets of the new Jerusalem. Paul, you’ve made it home. You won’t have to cry. It’s all over. Just like you said, you finished your course. You kept the faith; you never let the devil rob you of the heavenly vision. Calvary’s tears all gone; no more love-tears, no more faith-tears, no more tears of goodness and mercy.
The Devils Believe—and Tremble!
Just as God will have no tears when He sends an angel to bind Lucifer in the bottomless pit for a thousand years, one day He will have no tears for fallen humanity in hell. God will hate, despise them as much as He will hate and despise the devil. Just as He will mock Satan, He will mock fallen men, women, boys and girls who rejected His Son Jesus.
If you haven’t lived for God, you will stand before the Great White Throne on Judgment Day, before a Judge with no tears. Fallen humanity now will be the ones with tears, more tears than have ever been shed in one place before, human tears. Men will cry for mercy, but there will be none. They will cry, I believe! but even the devils believe. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble (James 2:19). God will declare, I don’t want you. I never will want you.
Once in a vision, I heard Him say those terrible words. I heard Him tell the multitudes, I don’t want you. You didn’t want me. My Son died for you. I had never thought I would hear God talk like that. In this vision I was going through the multitudes crying, Come to Jesus! Come to Jesus! I started to say Come… and then it was all over. No more voice to cry the message. The day of mercy had ended. God began to speak to the multitudes in awful, terrible judgment. The tears of Calvary were no more. It’s hard for the human mind to comprehend such a thing, hard to conceive what I experienced in that vision of living reality. My God, the terror of hearing God tell those people that He didn’t want them, that He would never; never want them again!
That time of horror is on its way. One day the multitudes will hear His voice in rejection, and it won’t be a vision. Not one tear of Calvary will be shed at the White Throne Judgment. Oh Ssinner, you take the tears of Calvary for granted. Some of you will not move, not give your heart to God. You’re saying in your spirit: I believe, but I’m not ready. One day you may decide you are ready for God only to hear Him say, I don’t care anymore. I don’t want you. I will never want you. I called you with the tears of Calvary night and day. I called you. The great God of the universe stooped low to help you. My Son died so that you could be washed of the filth of sin through His precious blood, and you trampled it underfoot as though it were unholy. But you’ve trampled it for the last time. It’s useless now to cry, to pray, to say you’re sorry or ask for forgiveness. There is no forgiveness for you anymore, no tears of Calvary for you. Calvary’s tears will never be shed for you again.
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
Oh Bride of Christ, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5). Her long night…it’s been such a long night for the Bride, a trying night. Anxiously she has waited for her Groom Jesus. It’s been a night of great tears as carefully she has kept herself pure, clean and holy, carrying the tears of Calvary. Weeping may endure for the long night; the Bride may cry throughout her last night, but what joy awaits her on that glorious morning! Joy in the morning will have come. The glorious morn will dawn for the Bride of Christ as she is raptured into Jesus’ arms of perfect love, taken to the clouds and ushered into the heavenly city for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready…Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7,9).
Jesus’ Third Appearance
After the Marriage Supper, Jesus will make His third appearance on Earth—this time without Calvary’s tears. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God (Revelation 19:11-13). Jesus, the Word of God…without Calvary’s tears. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS (verses 14-16).
Fowls Feast on the Flesh of Men
The King of all kings declares, I am Lord of lords! I am the beginning and the end! And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great (Revelation 19:17,18). Come, eat their flesh! the angel cries. Where are Calvary’s tear now? There will never be tears for the lost again. God despises the disobedient so much that He wants the birds of the air and the beasts of the field to come and eat their flesh.
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer (Revelation 10:5,6). The end of time has come. Now begins the thousand-year reign of peace in the Perfect Age. At the end of those thousand years: the Great White Throne Judgment.
All Tears Wiped Away
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away (Revelation 21:4). It cost Heaven everything to make those tears of Calvary. So valuable to a fallen race, those tears were ignored by many. Now those tears are all wiped away from the children of God, from the Bride of Christ. Behold the Lord as He wipes away all of His tears, reaches over to the Son, His Only Begotten, and to the Holy Spirit, drying all of Calvary’s tears. What price Heaven paid for such tears! What price, oh my God, what price! Thank God, Heaven will never cry again.
The door to Heaven closes on fallen humanity; no message of God for them. They have chosen their fate not only for time but for all eternity. A billion years and more will pass without the tears of Calvary to rescue anyone from the lake of fire, from eternal hell. God will seal it off. When He wipes away the tears of Calvary, He wipes away His memory of every lost boy, girl, man and woman never to remember them again…forgotten for all eternity by God.
Move In to All of God
Think of the tears of Calvary. God’s calling you today; you had better answer. Tomorrow there may be no tears for you. People today are in an eternity of torment who neglected the tears of Calvary yesterday. They’re in eternity without God, out of the reach of Calvary’s tears.
I want you to have this chance to reach out to those tears. Oh Lukewarm Christian, move on in to all of God. Backslider, Sinner, come home. God may be crying His last tears of Calvary for you. This very morning Heaven and God’s people cried their last tears for many souls who were in hell by the afternoon, in eternity without God and without hope, out of the reach of Calvary’s tears.
When the tears of Calvary cease, where will you be? The Lord is calling you. Arise and meet God today. It’s whosoever will, let him come. The tears of Calvary are flowing today, but you can reject them. Some of you have done it again and again. Many are in an eternity of hell because of one rejection too many. Calvary’s tears are strong, but they can’t reach into hell, into the lake of fire to rescue anyone.
I want you to cry to God and mean it with all your heart: Oh God! Have mercy upon my soul! I am so sorry I failed you. Please, God, I don’t want to die and go to hell! I’m sorry for the way I’ve treated you, the way I’ve shamed your Son, the way I’ve trampled His blood underfoot. I beg for mercy. Please, God, for the sake of your Son Jesus, save my soul! Forgive me of all my sins, and I will serve you, Lord. I will serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. I believe in the blood of Jesus. I believe there is power in His blood to wash away all of my sins, all of them! Come into my heart Jesus! Come on in Jesus! Hallelujah, He has come! Hallelujah, He has come! Jesus is mine. I will never let Him go. I will do my best to live like Him, to be like Him and to do all that He wants me to do. I love you Jesus; I love you Jesus.
Cry aloud unto the Lord. Turn your life completely over to Him. Let Him move for you. If you do not have the Holy Ghost baptism, seek it in the name of the Lord. Yield your life for service to the Lord, a holy sacrifice on the altar of God. Cry aloud unto the Lord for His help, His blessing, His anointing. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Oh Child of God, cry the tears of Calvary for the lost on planet Earth today.
