There is no such thing as the "penalty for the sins of humankind." That is an ignorant, primitive, and very immature misinterpretation of our very first lesson in discriminating between Good and Evil behavior. There is no penalty owing for that nor for any of the other mistakes (missing the mark = sins) we made and continue to make in our entirely understandable human gnorance of what God actually wants from us.

He forgave our brutal and savage ancestors' horrendous scourging...

We need to stir up the holy gifts within us - they (THE GIFTS) begin to be released again when we remember God's goodness to us; when we learn to meditate in our hearts on His past faithfulness and His love for us.

Hindrances to Heavenly Access include:

Psalm 78:41,42 - "Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power....."...

Mark 11:13 - "And seeing in the distance a fig tree covered with leaves. He went to see if He could find any fruit on it. But when He came up to it, He found nothing but leaves for the fig season had not yet come. And He said to it, 'No one ever again shall eat fruit from you.'"

There is a message for us in the cursed fig tree. Jesus cursed it for not bearing fruit OUT OF SEASON. It died immediately.

Was He unreasonable?

It's really a time to hear what the Spirit is saying and move on HIS direction, HIS voice (Isaiah 55:11), and not the voice of the world that comes from fear or the wisdom of man – which is opposite to what God is saying.

He is bringing you the GRACE that you need to accept the invitations that He is placing before you. He is highlighting the imperativeness of the hour to be prepared, but...

"I write to you to stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance." - 2 Peter 3:1

See how David calls upon himself, "Awake my glory!" - Psalm 57:8.

And see how Deborah calls upon herself, "Awake, awake, Deborah, awake, awake, utter a song." - Judges 5:12.

Awaking is a word that implies rousing, as birds that provoke their you ones by flight, to make use of their wings. Now, how few there are that thus call upon themselves?...
