Santo Dominicana.- Under a rain persistent and before thousands of people gathered in the Olympic Stadium Felix Sanchez ANDZequiel Molina Rosario warned about social deterioration, violence, corruption and the lack of responsibility of institutions in the Dominican Republic.
During the 62nd edition of The Battle of Faiththe pastor focused his speech on problems that affect the entire societynoting that the country faces serious consequences if it continues to normalize injusticefamily abandonment, impunity and the use of power without accountability.
The evangelical leader made reference to the biblical passage of Revelation 20:11-15which describes the final judgment before the “great white throne” a scenario that, as he explained, symbolizes the moment in which all humanity without distinction of rank, power or wealth will be held accountable for their actions.

Molina Rosario stated that contemporary society has created countless commemorative dates for almost all areas of human life. Women’s Day, Children’s Day, Work Day, Health Day, from various diseases, professions and causes, but has deliberately excluded God from the collective calendar.
“There are days for everything, but Where is the Day of God?” the pastor questioned, pointing out that this omission responds, in his vision, to the predominance of humanisma current that places the human being as the absolute center and ignores the divine dimension.
He clarified that, from the biblical perspective, the “Day of God” is not limited to a 24-hour day, but represents a historic and definitive momenta time appointed by God to exercise justice, reward and punish according to the works of each person.
Historical lessons
During his message, Molina Rosario reviewed several historical events that, in his opinion, marked turning points for humanity, such as the Protestant Reformation of 1517the French Revolutionthe world warshe 1969 moon landing and the attacks of September 11, 2001.
These facts, he explained, show that there are “days” that transform the course of societies, but he insisted that none compares to the impact of the God’s Daywhich he described as inevitable, surprising and definitive.
Quoting the apostle Paul and Jesus Christ, he recalled that no one knows the day or the hour in which it will happen, and that it will come “like a thief in the nightwithout prior notice.
Violence, abandonment and corruption
One of the longest and most powerful segments of the sermon was dedicated to the social problemswhere the pastor assumed a critical tone in the face of realities that, according to him, place society on trial.
Molina Rosario harshly questioned the family abandonmentpointing out irresponsible parents who father children and then leave them to their fate, contributing to crime and social deterioration.
“Why did you destroy the home that God gave you?” posed as one of the questions that, he said, must be answered on the Day of God.
It is also referred to children who grow up in the streets, cleaning glass or exposed to violenceand stated that society cannot ignore that reality.
At another time, he addressed the issue of homicidal violenceensuring that those who take the lives of others whether in criminal, domestic or social spheres will be held accountable before a superior judge, even if they manage to evade earthly justice.
Harsh criticism of politicians, judges and legislators
The message included a stern warning addressed to rulers, politicians, judges, prosecutors and legislatorsto whom he reminded that the power they hold is a God-given privilege and for the people.
Molina Rosario affirmed that politicians will have to answer for broken promises, corruption, embezzlement of public funds and for having abandoned the poor, the sick, the elderly and children.
In particular, he questioned judges and prosecutors who, he said, release guilty people or convict innocent people due to pressure, influence or personal benefits.
“Prison hurts, but it hurts more when you are imprisoned when you are innocent,” he said.
He also directed his criticism towards the legislators who pass laws contrary to biblical principlesplacing special emphasis on abortion, which he described as the elimination of defenseless beings.
In his opinion, those who promote and execute these decisions must face consequences on the Day of God.
A warning also for the church
The founder of The Battle of Faith did not limit his message to civil society. He also questioned sectors of the christian churchdenouncing spiritual indifference, materialism and loss of meaning of priority towards God.
He criticized believers who relegate faith due to social, work or personal commitmentsas well as religious leaders who, he said, turn temples into spaces for material exhibition and vanity.
“The church does not savebut the saved go to church,” he stated, defending the congregation as an essential part of Christian life.
The final judgment
The message ended by returning tohe passage from Revelation, where he described the judgment before the great white throne.
According to Molina Rosarioat that time there will be no privileges, Rich and poor, powerful and humble, rulers and ordinary citizens will appear alike.
He argued that the books will be opened and each person will be judged according to their works, and that neither money nor influence can free anyone from divine verdict.
However, he also highlighted that the God’s Day will be reason for joy and hope for those who have believed in Jesus Christ and have sought to live according to their faith.
“It will be a day of fear for manybut of joy for those who have waited for the Lord,” he concluded.
