I had asked Susanna to sing that. I love that song. And it is oh
so true, whatever our God ordains is right. And that was written
in, I think it was about 1650, if I remember correctly, my reading. But it's based on the scripture
out of the book of Genesis where Abraham said, surely the God
of the earth will do right. And it is a great comfort to
the hearts of God's people that whatever our God has ordained
is right. And as we go to Revelation chapter
6, we see that everything that God has ordained, everything
therefore which is right, it's been written in a book. Our Lord
Jesus is opening that book as He fulfills the will of God.
All that God has ordained, our Savior is fulfilling it during
this gospel age. As we arrive at Revelation 6,
I want to look at verse number 9 again, even though we did so
last Lord's Day. When He had opened the fifth
seal, everything that God has ordained has been written in
this book, the book is sealed up, and now the fifth seal, is
about to be loosed. And this is quite simply the
persecution of God's people down through the ages. People who
have loved the gospel. People who have taken a stand
for sovereign grace. Who believe the Lord Jesus and
that redemption that He accomplished by His blood. Those that have
believed this gospel have been by the world persecuted and vilely
mistreated sometimes. Many of them have been martyred
and yet all of these things are ordained of God. And as John
sees this fifth seal open, he looks into heaven and he sees
under the altar all of the souls of those who have gone to glory,
especially those who had suffered so greatly and had been martyred
for the cause of the gospel of our Lord Jesus. You'll notice
in verse number 9, he sees them under the altar. Under the altar,
that is beneath the altar, absolutely covered by the altar of God. Ever since our father Adam fell
back in the garden, God has never, He has never permitted anybody
to draw near to Him without an altar. There always had to be
an altar. And before the giving of God's
law at Mount Sinai to Moses and Moses to the children of Israel,
before that, from the days of Adam, Under the days of Moses,
those who wanted to worship God, they built altars of rock. They
piled stones upon one another, and on those stones they offered
animal sacrifices unto our God. And it didn't matter the reason
for which they sought to approach God. Whatever the reason was,
it may have been to worship God, It may have been to acknowledge
their guilt and ask for mercy. It may have been to express thanksgiving
to God for His daily mercies to them. It may be that they
wanted to draw near to God to ask Him some particular petition,
as we would say a prayer request. But for whatever reason they
went before God, they always had to approach God At an altar. At an altar. And on that altar,
there had to be an animal. There had to be an innocent victim
that died in the stead of the guilty. For those who offered
the sacrifice were guilty. As we all are. All guilty of
ungodliness. All guilty of breaking God's
law. All guilty of vile thoughts and
vile actions as well. And if anybody ever wanted to
approach God back then, and even this day, you still have to approach
God by means of an altar and the acceptable sacrifice on that
altar. You see, way back then, even
as far back as Adam and Eve and then Abel, all of our brothers
and sisters, they understood by the grace of God that the
only acceptable way to draw near to God was by means of a bloody
sacrifice Offered to God by faith. By faith. We read about Abel
in Genesis chapter 4 as he brought the firstling of his flock to
God. To offer that offering as a sacrifice
for himself and for his family. It is written of Abel in Hebrews
chapter 11 and verse 4, by faith Abel offered, he presented, he
dealt with God, that is, when it says he presented, when it
says that he came before God and offered, that is, he presented
or he dealt with God. This is the way he dealt with
God. He dealt with God by more excellent sacrifice or offering
than his brother came. The Scripture says, "...by which
he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of
his gifts, and by it he being dead yet speaketh." Now Abel,
he wasn't more excellent than Cain in his self because both
of them were sinful men. But his offering was more excellent.
For the offering that Abel brought, it pictured the offering of our
Lord Jesus. It pictured that one who was
spoken of by God in Genesis chapter 3 and verse 15, the seed of the
woman. And that offering that Abel brought,
it spoke to, it pictured, it prefigured, it directed his attention
to the seed of the woman who would come, that is, the Lamb
of God who would enter into this world which we know about 2,000
years ago and give His life's blood as the sacrifice for our
sinfulness. You see, all of those Old Testament
offerings pictured the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. And all of those
Old Testament believers from Abel up to Moses, They understood
at least to some extent, I know they didn't have the gospel as
clearly set forth as we do, but they did understand to some extent
that in order for their transgressions against God to be forgiven, there
had to be an offering made to God, a life must be taken. Blood must be shed. They understood
that because the law of God demanded death for sinfulness. Always death for sin. The wages,
the Scripture says, Romans 6.23, the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So all the way up to the
time of Moses, whenever anybody wanted to worship God, wanted
to thank God, wanted to ask God for something, wanted to come
to God, Lord, bless my family, Lord, save my children, Lord,
thank You for the mercies that You've given us today. Whenever
they came to God, for any reason, they took some stones, piled
them up, they got an animal, killed that animal, and offered
it upon the altar, an altar of fire unto God, believing that
sacrifice pictured the one offering that our Lord Jesus would offer
for sin many years in the future. Well, then God gave to Moses
the law. And included in God's law were
the instructions about building a tabernacle where God would
meet with men and men would meet with God. That tabernacle, everything
about the tabernacle in the wilderness pictured our Lord Jesus or some
aspect of His work of redemption. We know that. The Scripture says
in John chapter 1, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt, that
is, the Word tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth. Now in that Old Testament tabernacle, there were seven
pieces of furniture. And the biggest, the most, the
one that everybody viewed was the brazen altar. I know there
were the other pieces of furniture, and then within the Holy of Holies
there was the Ark of the Covenant with the Mercy Seat on top, the
lid on top where the High Priest sprinkled blood once a year.
But nobody looked on that except the High Priest. There was one
article of furniture, one piece of furniture, however, that everybody
in Israel looked at. Every single day. The brazen
altar. And if they wanted to worship
God, that's where they went to worship God. Now listen, there
wasn't anywhere else in the entire world, throughout the world, every continent,
every island, The masses of people who lived back then, if they
wanted to worship God, there was only one place they could
worship God, at the brazen altar at the tabernacle in the wilderness.
Now that's a narrow way. But you see, this way of salvation
is a narrow way, and it's just one gospel. It isn't, well, there
are many ways to God, many ways to heaven. You believe your way,
I'll believe my way, and we'll all wind up at the same place.
That is incorrect. That is not right. There's only
one place to worship God today, Christ Jesus. And back then in
the Old Testament, when God gave His law, there was only one place
where any Israelite or any Gentile who might become a proselyte
to the beliefs of the Jewish nation, there was only one place,
one location where they could worship God, thank God, petition
God, approach God, ask God for mercy. Only one location, the
brazen altar. And even then they had to have
blood. They had to offer an animal sacrifice that God had declared
to be a clean animal. For you see, it is written, without
the shedding of blood is no remission of sin. If an Israelite back
then wanted to worship God, he appeared at the gate of the tabernacle
with an animal suitable to be killed, his blood shed. It was at that altar that the
sacrifice was presented to God. The blood was captured and the
animal itself put up on the altar where it was consumed in the
fire. of the brazen altar, presented
unto God as that smoke ascended, as that carcass burned. And as the worshipper stood back
and watched, you could almost smell the flesh of that animal
as it cooked in the fire, as it burnt. as the meat burnt and
the smoke rolled up to the heavens. It was saying, God, this is for
you! This is for you! It pictures your sin offering
who will come into the world and do in reality what this only
pictures. It will put away my sin. Christ's
sacrifice will put away my sin. That's what every offering on
that altar presented to God. That's what they all pictured.
That's what they all prefigured. Now later that altar was moved
into the temple. But it was still the only location,
only place, where you could worship God. Now I realize from time
to time, the prophets of God, by special commandment, would
build an altar and worship. As in 1 Kings chapter 18, Elijah,
right? Elijah. He built an altar and that's
where he worshipped God. But the ordinary citizen of Israel,
ordinary person, there was just one place where you could offer an acceptable sacrifice to God. That was at the altar, at the
brazen altar, where a life was forfeited. Listen, if there's going to be
forgiveness of sins, a life must be taken. And it must be the life of that
which is innocent of any guilt toward God. Because they all
pictured the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, that sinless sacrifice
offered to God. So if men wanted to worship God,
they brought an offering to the altar. Now, all of those offerings
at that altar, at the tabernacle, and then the temple. They all
pictured the Lord Jesus, who is himself the one who offered
the sacrifice. He is the priest. He is the sacrifice
himself. And he is the altar upon which
the sacrifice was offered. Don't ever think the cross upon
which our Lord died, that that was the altar. That wasn't the
altar. That wasn't the altar. He laid
down His life on the altar of His own deity. The cross wasn't
an altar. We have an altar. Hold your place
in Revelation 6 and look back to Hebrews chapter 13. We have
an altar. See, there is today still an
altar. But just one altar. where God
must be worshipped. And if you want to come to God
for any reason, do you need mercy? You've got to come to the altar.
If you need grace, you must come to the altar. Do you need forgiveness?
You must come to the altar. Do you need a petition met and
granted by God? You must come to the altar. Do
you want to thank God, offer your appreciation to God for
the mercies that He gives you every day? You've still got to
come to the altar, you see. Nothing has ever changed since
the beginning of time, since man fell. If you're going to
worship God, come to God, you've got to come to the altar. First
of all, the altar that you built. Secondly, the altar that God
instructed Moses to build, there at the tabernacle and then the
temple. And thirdly, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who is the living altar. He's the way we come to God.
Nothing has changed, you see. Look here in Hebrews chapter
13 verse number 10. Hebrews 13 verse 10. We have
an altar. We have an altar. Do we have an altar? Absolutely. But you see this table down here?
This is not an altar. This is not an altar. Back in
1835 to 1840, right around that area, a man by the name of Charles
Finney, he perfected something that was actually started by
the Methodists. Charles Finney was a Presbyterian
preacher, an evangelist. But before he perfected the altar
call, the Methodists were already using it. Before that, preachers
of the gospel, they called people to come to Christ Jesus. Don't
move a muscle. It isn't a physical movement.
It's a movement of the heart. It's a movement of the inner
man. It's a movement of the soul.
And I say the same thing to you today. Come to Christ Jesus,
but don't move a muscle. But Charles Finney, he initiated
in a more specific way what we call the altar call. We're at
the end of a message, end of a sermon, a congregation sings
some kind of hymn, typically Just As I Am or something of
that nature, and they say, come down to the altar. Some denominations,
the Pentecostal denomination, come down to the altar and pray
through. This is not an altar. This is not the place of atonement. This is not the place of reconciliation. This is not the place of forgiveness
of sins. We have an altar and He's in
heaven. Christ Jesus the Lord. You've
got to understand that. I know years ago, and still probably
some people speak of it, they say, we have family altar. Remember people years ago, you
said, we have family altar at our house. What they meant by
that, we have family devotion. But you don't have a family altar
at your house. I tell you, the altar of God's
family is in heaven. The Lord Jesus. We have an altar. That's the reason you don't ever
hear me, you've never heard any preacher from this pulpit ever
say, come to the altar. Come to the altar and pray through.
Come to the altar and pray the sinner's prayer. Come to the
altar and I'll help you find Jesus. No, this is not an altar. It's a table. It's a communion
table. But it's not a table where you
become right with God. Our Lord Jesus is the altar.
And over here in Revelation chapter 6, John sees these dead, these
souls who died. And they are under the altar.
What does that mean? They are under the blood. They are under
the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus. Half they get to heaven. The
same way you are going to get there. If you go, you will go
under the altar. Under the blood. Not by works
of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy.
He had saved us, we read, to begin the service this morning.
You see, we have an altar, but it's not down in front of the
church. Our altar ever lives in glory to make intercession
for His people. And listen, we cannot approach
God apart from this altar, apart from this mediator. This is what
the Savior said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man
cometh unto God but by Me. He's the altar. And over here in Hebrews 13,
if you're still there, it says in Hebrews 13, verse 15, By Him,
therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually.
That is the fruit of our lips giving thanksgiving to His name. At this altar, by Him, we offer
the sacrifice of praise. You want to praise God? You praise
God through Christ Jesus. You think God's salvation? You
come to God through Christ Jesus. He's everything. He's the only
way to God. And I tell you folks, you say,
well, you're being mean by ruling out all these other religions.
I'm not trying to be mean, but I want to be honest with you.
You try to come to God some other way, you're going to fail. You
won't come to God because He won't allow it. You'll come His
way, the way of grace, the way of Christ Jesus, the altar, you'll
come that way, or you won't come at all. That's God's Word. We're strict on this. I'm not
trying to be mean, I'm not trying to be hard to get along with,
but I'm trying to be consistent and honest with the Word of God
and honest with your soul. Well, but that rules so many
people out. What about this group? What about
that group? If they don't believe and love
God through the Lord Jesus Christ and His blood and His imputed
righteousness, they miss God altogether. That's just the way
it is. And if you don't come to God
through Christ Jesus, you're going to miss God too. We could talk about the Muslims
and talk about the Hindus and talk about this group and that
group. Boy, that's a big wide territory out there. Let's just
talk about you. Are you going to miss God? Or
are you going to miss Him if you don't come to Him through
Christ? The altar. John sees all these under the
altar. And he sees them there. They
got a cry. Verse 10. We know they are under
the altar and why were they killed? For the Word of God, for the
Gospel. For the testimony which they held. Here is what they
did. They cried out with a loud voice
saying, How long, O God? O Lord, holy and true, dost thou
not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
They want vengeance! They want vengeance on those
that know not God. Notice, white robes had been
given to them. That's the righteousness of Christ
Jesus. And it was said unto them that
they should rest yet a little season unto their fellow servants. also and their brethren that
should be killed as they were should be fulfilled. That is, there won't be any vengeance,
there won't be any judgment poured out upon this world for a little
season until everything has been fulfilled. What does that word
fulfilled mean? Accomplished. That's what fulfilled
means. Accomplished or filled to the
full. Well, until what has got to be accomplished? What's in
the book? Until everything, whatever God's
ordained, all those right things that God has ordained, till they're
all fulfilled. And when they're fulfilled, look
at verse number 12, and I beheld when he had opened the sixth
seal. John sees in his vision now the opening of the sixth
seal which takes him up to the very end and the final judgment. Let me read this to you, beginning
in verse 12, and I beheld When he had opened the sixth seal,
Lin-Lo, there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as a sackcloth
of hair. The moon became as blood. The
stars of heaven fell onto earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs when she's shaken of a mighty wind. The heaven
departed as a scroll when it's rolled together and every mountain
and island were moved out of their places. And 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 unto the mountains, and the 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 stand? Let me talk to you for these
last few moments on this subject. The day of wrath and nowhere
to hide. The day of wrath and nowhere
to hide. Here's judgment pictured. It's
pictured in a two-fold symbolism. First of all, a universe coming
to pieces. A universe falling apart. And
secondly, people who are thoroughly frightened. A universe coming
to pieces and a thoroughly frightened human race. It's interesting to observe that
this final outpouring of divine wrath, the wrath that the departed
saints seen in the opening of the fifth seal, the wrath that
they so desired to be poured out, is now described in verse
6. At least in the sixth seal, in
some degree. It's only fitting that because
six is the number of man, this is under the sixth seal, because
six is the number of man, it's the number of failure. Therefore,
the mark of the beast is 666. Failure. Failure. Failure. That's man. Here we see the object
of God's creation affected the earth by an earthquake. The sun,
John says it was black as sackcloth of a hare, as though God took
the sun and put it in a bag, because they had bags back then
made of black goat's hair. It's like God took the sunshine,
put it in a bag of black goat's hair, and just blotted out the
sun. He sees the moon, it's red like blood. The blood that will
be shed by men. The stars of heaven, falling
as the heaven is rolled up as a scroll. The mountains and the
hills moved out of their places. And then different groups of
people, all the different classes of people are set forth. Kings,
great men, leaders, rich men, mighty men, and all the workers,
the bondmen, all who are just the laborers in this world and
free men also. This is the unveiling to John
of the vengeance upon the Lord's adversaries. Here we have before
us this scene which is depicted several times throughout the
book of the Revelation. The ungodly standing before the
Lord at the final judgment. This is the end of all things,
but all things are not made new yet. Because John doesn't take
us past this. He only takes us up to this point. And as we'll see this evening,
then He shows us the elect of God. But now He shows us the
fearfulness in the hearts of those who know not God. You see,
they didn't have an altar. They didn't come to God through
the altar. They weren't interested in the
gospel. They weren't interested in hiding
in the rock Christ Jesus. He's the rock. He's the solid
rock upon which we build. He's the rock that has been the
rock cleft for me. Rock of ages cleft for me. Moses
said, Lord, I want to see your glory. And God said, I'll hide
you in the cleft of the rock. But these weren't interested
in being hidden in Christ Jesus. They weren't interested in the
mediator. They weren't interested in salvation
by grace. They lived their lives with no
thought about meeting God, no thought of a judgment, no thought
of the vengeance of God against the adversaries of His people
in this world, no thought of God whatsoever. And then the
end comes. And all around them, awful things
are happening. It's the day of God's vengeance.
There's an earthquake. Now remember this is a book full
of symbolism. Now there may very well be a
literal earthquake in that day. I don't know. But I rather think
this is a shaking. God's going to shake this world.
He's going to shake people. Those who had all their confidence
in their riches, that's going to be shaken from them. They'll
have no confidence. Those whose confidence was in
some religious action that they had performed, God's going to
shake them loose of that confidence and it will be seen to be a false
refuge. He's going to shake it loose.
Those who believed in a political system, those who trusted in
their country, those who believed that they were safe living where
they are and doing what they're doing, God's going to shake this
world. He's going to shake them loose
from all things. The sun would become black as
sackcloth. God's going to put out the lights.
Darkness. Darkness. You know, few of us
know anything about real darkness. I was thinking about this message
last night when I went to bed and there was the lights on the
alarm clock. I could see the time. There was
the lights on the, not the VCR, whatever the thing is, a cable
box. I could see the lights there
and then the lights from the outside shining in. We're talking
about a day that's nothing but night. The absence of light. You see, God is light. God is
light. In Him is no darkness at all.
Imagine absolute darkness. No wonder people are scared to
death. darkness, in the darkness of
their spiritual ignorance, in the darkness of their false foundation,
in the darkness of their false religion, in their ignorance,
in their error, in their sinfulness. The moon became as blood. Death. Death. people spiritually dead, soon
to be eternally dead. The stars of heaven fell upon
the earth, fell onto the earth. I think these are the great people
that, in their greatness, the leaders of this world, falling. And you realize there's no hope
in these fellas, in these ladies, in these presidents, in these
prime ministers. These leaders, people are going
to say they're in the same kind of trouble we're in. The stars
falling, people that you had high esteem for, people that
you thought the world of, they'll be seen to be just needy creatures
like you are, but there will be no help for your neediness. Stars falling like a fig tree
cast forth her untimely figs when she's shaken of a mighty
wind. There's a wind coming. The wind
of God's judgment is going to blow. I'm going to talk about
that subject tonight. Verse 14, the heaven departed
as a scroll when it's rolled together. Read 2 Peter chapter
3 and we'll have that read to us this evening. Peter addresses
that in every mountain and island moved out of their places. God
just shaking this whole globe. It's a day of God's wrath. It's
a day of God's vengeance. And verse 15 says, the kings
of the earth, the great men, the rich men, chief captains,
the mighty men, every bondman, every free man hid themselves
in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains. This is the
end. They wouldn't seek a hiding place
during life. They weren't interested in a
refuge for their souls. Look with me in a couple of passages
of Scripture. First of all, Isaiah chapter
2. Isaiah chapter 2. Oh God, give us grace. To take
heed to this, Isaiah chapter 2 verse number 10. Isaiah 2 verse
10. Enter into the rock. Who's the
rock? The rock is Christ Jesus. The
rock is Christ Jesus. Hide thee in the dust. Fall before
Him. Brother Richardson, Scott Richardson
used to say, make dust your headquarters. Hide thee in the dust for the
fear of the Lord, the glory of His majesty. Enter into the rock,
by faith the rock once smitten." Israel was thirsty and Moses
went to the Lord and said, Lord, they are your people. Don't let
them die of thirst. God said, you take that rod that's
in your hand with which you smote the Red Sea, you smite the rock. He hit the rock and the water
of life came out to those Israelites. And that rock followed them,
the water followed them through the desert. That's a picture
of our Lord Jesus, the rock of ages smitten by the rod of God's
justice. Smitten so God can be a just
God and a Savior. And the water of life flows,
a drink of the water of the life and hide yourself in the rock
once smitten the sinners. That's what he says. Enter into
the rock. Have you entered into the rock? Enter into the rock! That's the only place to hide.
That's the only place of safety. Because I'll tell you what's
going to happen in this day, the day of judgment, verse 11,
the lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of
men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted
in that day. For the day of the Lord of Hosts
shall be upon everyone that is lofty and proud, and upon everyone
that is lifted up. He's going to be brought low.
Oh, God, bring me low now. God, bring me low now. God, humble
me now! I find myself as a poor old lost
sinner who deserves nothing good from God, but goes to God through
the rock once opened up on the cross of Calvary for sinners.
I flee to the rock. Flee to the rock and hide in
Him. One other reference, Isaiah 28.
Isaiah chapter 28. Isaiah chapter 28, look at verse
14. Wherefore, hear the word of the
Lord, ye scornful, ye boastful braggarts, that rule this people
which is in Jerusalem, because ye have said, we have made a
covenant with death, and with hell are we in agreement, when
the overflowing scourge shall pass through. It won't come unto
us, we're okay. Well, we've made lies our refuge,
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. I'll tell you what,
there's nowhere to hide except in Christ Jesus. So read on.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God. Behold, I lay in Zion for
foundations, a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone,
a sure foundation. He that believeth shall not make
haste. He'll not be moved. flee to the rock Christ Jesus. But you go back to the text.
Go back to the text. Here in verse 15, here are men
trying to hide in the dens and the rocks of the mountains. Wrath is coming and you know
what? There's nowhere to hide. There's nowhere to hide. Nowhere to go. No place of safety. No possibility
of salvation. And so what are these people
doing? They're seeking shelter upon this earth in anything and
everything they can, but they wouldn't seek shelter in the
Lord Jesus Christ. And they said to the mountains
and the rocks, verse 16, fall on us and hide us. We need to
be hidden. But they don't want to hide in
the Lamb of God. They want to be hidden from the
Lamb of God. Her daddy wrote an article years
ago about unusual prayer meeting. This is the most unusual prayer
meeting. Not praying to God, but praying to the rocks and
the mountains. Not praying to the Lamb, but praying to the
things on earth. Verse 16. Fall on us and hide
us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne and from
the wrath of the Lamb. The wrath of God has come. There
is nowhere to hide. For the great day of His wrath
has come. Who shall be able to stand? Who indeed? Will you be able to stand in
that day? You know who will be able to
stand? Those that have a clean heart, clean hands, who have
not lifted up their soul to vanity. Well, there is only one who has
ever lived like that, and that is Christ Jesus. Only those in
Christ Jesus will be able to stand in that day. Look, one
more reference, Psalm 1. Look back at Psalm 1. And we'll
go right back into this tonight. Look at Psalm 1, verse 5. Psalm 1, verse 5. Therefore the
ungodly shall not stand in the judgment. You won't stand in
the judgment. Nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous. There's no standing in the judgment
unless you stand in Christ Jesus. For the Lord knoweth the way
of the righteous, but the way of the ungodless shall perish. I don't know anything about Bible
deadlines, know very little I should say about Bible deadlines, but
I know this. The door of mercy is open. It's
like the door of the ark. Noah went around preaching. Wrath
is coming. Judgment is coming. The door
is open. And I know exactly the number
were saved that God purposed to be saved. And I also know
this, those that perished in the flood, it was their fault. That was their fault. And when God called, summoned,
effectually drew Noah and his family into the ark, and God
shut the door. The only place of safety had
been closed off. And then the fountains of the
earth opened up, and the heavens above opened up, and then people
sought a hiding place. And there wasn't one to be found. I said, preacher, you're trying
to scare us. I wish you could be scared a little bit. But if I scare you, you'll get
over it. I'm telling you judgment's coming. And there's only one place of
safety. That's in the Rock Christ Jesus. And one of these days,
judgment's going to fall. And whatever false foundation
you've been standing on, you've been hiding in, God's going to
shake you loose from that. And you're going to be scared
out of your mind. Because wrath's coming. And there's
nowhere for you to hide. Oh, hide in the rock. Hide in the rock. Christ Jesus. Let's sing a song. Let's sing
ahead.
