Is God Joking?

Is God Joking?

Does God really mean what He says, or is He joking (= saying ridiculous things which cannot be taken seriously)?

Let’s consider:

  1. Sarah
  2. Lot’s sons-in-law
  3. Some of Pharaoh’s servants
  4. The people of Judah
  5. The crowd with Jairus’ daughter
  6. Mockers in these last days
