Amen. All right, I want you to turn in your Bibles to the book of Revelation, chapter number six. We are in a series that we are doing called Amazing Moments of the book of Revelation, and we are in chapter number six. Gonna be looking at the sixth seal. Got this little ringing on the lapel mic, and it's a combination of things, but we do have some two new lapel mics ordered. fix what's going on with the squeak. If you don't hear it, you may think there's something wrong with me, but I do hear it. I don't know if you're hearing it, but I hear it. But I try to ignore it if I can. Also, another title of this message is Beware of the Lamb. Couldn't get that off my mind. Y'all have seen this sign before, haven't you? Beware of dog. And the dog can be about this big and have teeth that long. And you don't have to second guess that sign at all, right? I mean, those little small ones can get a hold of your ankle. So when you say beware a dog, you don't really question, oh, that dog's not big enough. I know it can bite. I know those little, and if you see a big dog. But when you hear the phrase beware of the lamb, it just don't make any sense, does it? But this whole chapter, a lot of this is going to show us some things, not the whole chapter, but where we'll be looking, about the wrath of the Lamb. Now that's not something you think about, that a lamb will send out wrath. Because a lamb's not known for its bite, or even its bark. Even when it bays, it's nothing but an attention to the shepherd. So it's not looked at. Well understand, we're talking about Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God that came to take away the sin of the world. And in chapter number five, when the seals were there, no one could open the sealed book, John said, behold, the Lamb has prevailed to open the seals thereof. Only the Lord Jesus Christ could do that. He is known as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, but he's also known as the Lamb. And in this chapter, the wrath of the Lamb will fall upon this earth. This is a two-point outline, but don't get excited about that. Amen. All right, number one, beware of the Lamb. That's my first point. Let's read Revelation chapter number six, verse 12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth. Even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is 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 freeman hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains and said to, not to God, not to the Lamb, but to the mountains and the rocks, fall on us and hide us. Even in the midst of that, Brother Jeremy, this world will fail to repent fail to believe, and they'll even hide from the wrath of the Lamb, but will never call out to Him, meaning will still reject Him, and just want the rocks and the mountains to hide them from God. I'm glad I found my hiding place in the Lamb of the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't have to run from God now, now I'm in the family of God. He's my Father. But what a time frame, what a culture, what a character of this day. And the Bible says they're going to cry out and say this to the mountains and ask 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. Who? shall be able to stand. Let's go to the Lord in prayer. Father, I pray you help us. We need your anointing. We need your wisdom. I pray, God, that you'd speak to hearts today, Lord, as we are connecting, Lord, to the last, the very last book of the Bible, the very last book ever written, the revelation of Jesus Christ. Lord, we realize where we are in prophecy, Lord, the time frame we're living in. We're living in the last moments of the last days. God, if there's one here not saved, I pray that they would come to you, Lord, in salvation. God, for us that are saved, Lord, that are sleeping, Lord, and we're not very awake to what's going on around us, Lord, we're not concerned about where we are and realizing at any moment you could come back and rapture the church out and the tribulation could begin. I ask you, God, to help us, Lord, to understand the seriousness of these prophecies, Lord, the seals and the scriptures in this book. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. I'll mention the thought about beware of the lamb because it talks about the wrath of the lamb here in these verses and I want you to Look at some of the things that are unfolding here as it says in verse number 12. There was a great earthquake now the Bible tells us in the book of Revelation of three different earthquakes that takes place in this book. This is the first one that is mentioned, and it talks about this earthquake taking place, a great one. Now, it doesn't give a whole lot of detail outside of that, but this will be a sign of the times that there'll be earthquakes in divers' places and things like that. which they are, there's tremors every day, they say. And I know you've probably maybe lived somewhere, maybe even around here where you felt a little earth quaking and earth shaking going on. God knows how to get our attentions. He can quake the very earth beneath your feet, amen? Now whether or not you look at things here that are literal, some people use everything in this chapter and everything in the book of Revelation as a figurative thing. And I wanna give you this little thought. Instead of worrying about trying to put a symbol everywhere, I want to give you some things, but also understand if the literal sense makes common sense, and it does many times, because God has sent earthquakes before, and he can do it again, but also God can do whatever he wants, however he wants, whenever he wants, to whomever he wants, amen? It doesn't have to make sense there, but don't undo other sense, common sense in the scriptures in order for you to try to make a spiritual sense of it. Now, I believe here that an earthquake's an earthquake. Some say the earthquake, the sun, and the moon, and the stars falling, and all these things are symbolism of the established powers of the world collapsing. Well, I don't agree with that, I don't believe that. Now, you might agree that, believe that. I've read some books and some great men that I have studied and read, try to kind of figure out where they were going on things, because I know a lot of times where I'm headed, and I thank the Lord, I always want to head to truth and what is right, amen? But I'll read something, sometimes I say, no, I don't agree with that, I don't think that lines up with the spirit of the truth of the word of God. And to me it seems like you're trying to explain away what God is trying to show us and reveal to us. Because the wrath of the Lamb is not symbolic. There's a real Lamb, Jesus Christ, to whom God has given all judgment to Him. And who better to judge the world than the one who died for the world? So understand when it talks about an earthquake, I want to give you a couple of thoughts here. Earthquakes in the Bible are always associated with one of a few things, maybe the judgment of God. God has opened up the earth, shook it, and swallowed people whole into the pit in the Old Testament. I don't want to be around that kind of earthquake. I don't want to endure that or go through that or maybe never survive that because you've seen people have stories in the Bible of testifying of what happened around them. Earthquakes are also associated with punishment, but they're also associated with the presence of God. And even in the New Testament, there was earthquakes associated with a great, powerful event that centered around Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. In His resurrection, there was an earthquake. It opened up the graves and people were walking around in the cities of Jerusalem the streets of Jerusalem Because of the resurrecting power of God That had been strange seeing grandpa and grandma walking down the street shake your head real good So you ain't gonna believe this is what I just saw But there was resurrected people there at earthquake power the presence of God Now I won't give you this thought Because this sixth seal is a powerful image of the wrath of the Lamb of God. The wrath of God coming upon this earth. And I've already read to you there'll be many people, instead of crying out to God in repentance, crying out to Him in mercy, they just don't want to see His face. They just want to be hid from Him in the caves, in the rocks, under the mountains. Just don't want to have to deal with Him or see Him. What a hard heart that is for people to be like that. I want to give you a little history here. In 1556, I don't think there's about maybe two or three people in the church that are that old, but in 1556, in China, the Shaanxi earthquake killed 830,000 people. 1,500, almost what would be 500 or 600 years ago. 830,000 people died in one earthquake. I told you, as I referred to this in our last area of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, there's many instances in the Bible where there are a quarter or a third of the population is going to die at that time frame. in this seven-year period of tribulation. And there are other events that happen in the book of Revelation that doesn't give us a percentage or a number, but you know by history, you know by common sense, that when a great earthquake hits, there's going to be death. There's going to be destruction. And much of that destruction is revealed, as Scripture says, concerning what takes place here when the mountain and the islands were moved out of their places. Think about an earthquake that would kill so many people. It collapsed, people had homes in the banks of the area around there and the ground just crumbled and rolled and collapsed and people were buried alive. So when you hear earthquake, don't let it go in one ear and out the other. Don't have to have lived through an earthquake in California to appreciate the word of God and it's admonishment, it's warning to us of a great earthquake coming upon this earth. Then the scripture goes on to say, the sun became black as sackcloth of hair. This is a reference to black goat hair, dark color. The sun was darkened or became like black of sackcloth of hair. And then it said the moon became as blood. Now I began to look and found some real other evidences of this has happened before where others have thought that the judgment of God, the wrath of the Lamb was coming upon them in their time frame. Back in New England in 1780, I don't think we got anybody really, for real, anybody goes back that far, I'm just kidding. in the New England area, around Massachusetts, Boston, all those areas there, they had some kind of event to this day, all the way they can explain it, there was a forest fire, there was a cloud cover, there was fog, there's just a lot of unexplained things that they're trying to explain, but they still do not know why all of a sudden the sun became dark and black and the animals didn't want to come out of the barns, the birds didn't want to come out, they thought it was night time, the animals were all mixed up, the people were mixed up, Then the moon became like blood. It looked like a bloody color. Now, there's a lot of people trying to describe how something like that could happen. I know God could just do it. But God could also cause something else to do it. He could. And so this event is going to be something that happened in the 1700s that's going to let you listen to what it did. People just ignored it and they just went on with their life. No, never. It always shakes people to their core. When the order of history, the natural order of your day gets changed. Do you remember 2017, I believe it was, when we had the eclipse that took place? We had a special day out here in the parking lot to watch the eclipse. That's how hick we are. That was my idea by the way, so y'all figure that. We got glasses, we sat out there and we waited until the sun and the earth and all that eclipse lined up and it got dark, but it wasn't dark as sackcloth of hair. You could still see. In this time they say it was so dark you couldn't hardly see your hand in front of your face. It was just such a darkness. And many times that kind of darkness, you say, I don't believe that. It happened in the land of Egypt. It happened to the Philistines. The world tries to explain it away with an eclipse. But scientifically there was no eclipse on 1780 on that day, May 19th. So they don't know how it happened. Well, God allowed it to happen. I thought this was kind of funny. One of the local newspapers said that this lady sent for word to her minister there, local minister in town, to find out whether or not that this was the evil and the judgment of God coming upon them. And the minister said, tell that lady I'm as much in the dark as she is. We would call it a laugh out loud moment. I'm glad I don't have to be in the dark about how dark it can get when God sends judgment of darkness on the earth. There's been associations of that even when Jesus was on the cross of Calvary. The Bible said that darkness came upon the face of the earth from the space of about three hours from right around the time from around 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was dark. Whether it was an eclipse or not, I really don't know. It doesn't change a lot. because I know God made the planets, He made the sun, He made the moon, He made the system. He knew there was going to be an eclipse or He could make there be an eclipse. Because this is the wrath of the Lamb of God. This is a judgment upon the earth. In 1833, there was a meteor storm across the United States that lasted from November 12th to the 13th. Three hours long, almost 150,000 meteorites fell. It woke people up in the middle of the night because it was so bright outside they thought, well can you imagine what you thought? It's like somebody just turned the switch on and it was day and it was noon. People went outside in the yards and began to see the little meteorites fall. Maybe that's an explanation of the stars falling. I don't know. People describe things in the way they, the context of what they know and the moment they live. But I want to tell you this. God could send a meteorite shower. He can also allow this whole atmosphere above us to scroll together and roll together just like a scroll like John described it. Now I want to bring out something to you here. The scripture goes on to say, the stars of heaven fell into the earth even as a fig tree cast with her untimely figs. They're just dropping, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. which he is shaken of a mighty, verse 14, and the heaven departed as a scroll, when it's rolled together, every mountain and island were moved out of their places. Now, in the context before nuclear bombs, many people did not know how this would even remotely be possible to see something like this, unless God just shook the earth and the heavens, which he will do, amen. But I want to give you a couple of thoughts here. The nuclear bomb came out. We all well know Hiroshima, Nagasaki, when we dropped the nuclear bomb upon Japan, it stopped the war. It stopped Japan. They surrendered. This nuclear bomb has enough power. It's 15,000 tons of TNT dynamite. When it landed on the ground, it evaporated the atmosphere, the cloud rolled up, and it looked like something scrolling together, as people described it, that survived it. Could that be what God will allow to happen? Will the world start shooting nuclear bombs at each other? Well, I think the power and the capability of a nuclear bomb, the atom, is there. I don't think a man's going to push the button. I believe the wrath of a lamb is going to fall. Now give me, just hold on, I'll give you something. They said the pressure wave of the nuclear bomb that hit Hiroshima was the same as a category 5 hurricane. 156 to 157 mile per hour wave of wind. Can you imagine that? Now many people survived, but many, many others died. They said at least 80,000 people died instantly from this nuclear bomb. Now, we also have a bomb called the H-bomb. Y'all ever heard of that? Hydrogen bomb. Did you know that hydrogen bombs have never been dropped on any, they've never been tested except underground? And they're more powerful than the nuclear bomb. The hydrogen bomb, listen to this, a nuclear bomb that fell on Nagasaki and Hiroshima was the same as 13 kilotons, but a H-bomb, a hydrogen bomb, is the same as 10 megatons. Kilo to mega, whether you're real good at math, and I know I'm not, that's more. Mega is more than kilo, right? All right. Megabyte, you don't want kilobytes on your phone anymore, right? You want megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes, right? Y'all getting it now? Okay. Megaton, 10 megaton bomb of a H-bomb. Now, that's man-made, created things. man in a laboratory creating a bomb that can cause unbelievable destruction that's almost described as the shaking of a mighty wind, the departing of the scroll of heaven as it's rolled together, every mountain and island were moved out of their places. That's when man's building it in their little workshop. I'm bringing it to a point here. I want you to understand that God is the creator of the universe. The Bible says in Romans 1 20, for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. In the laboratories, these scientists are playing with the pieces and parts that God made. They're putting together things and playing with things and splitting things that have crossed unbelievable power to unleash on the earth. They don't even know what they're messing with. God does not need to make a bomb. He already made helium and hydrogen. The H-bomb, and I'll describe this to you, the H-bomb is made as a thermonuclear bomb with hydrogen and helium. Now, it's an uncontrolled reaction, which means once you start it, they can't control it. That sounds like man, doesn't it? Sure it does. And once they start it, it's self-sustaining, it continues to create its own energy until it creates isotopes of hydrogen combined under high temperatures to form into helium. Now, you ever remember that big blimp that caught on fire that was made out of helium and it just, whoosh, Hindenburg? Okay, helium is very flammable. And when this process begins to go into known as nuclear fusion, it creates the H-bomb effect of 10 megatons of power, which is many, many, many, many more times, it's almost five times as powerful as a nuclear bomb landing on the earth. Now, think about that just for a second. Back in the 1980s, there was a volcano that took place, Mount St. Helens. Anybody remember that? When Mount St. Helens erupted, underneath the earth were these elements and things that were part of this explosion. They say when Mount St. Helens erupted that it reached 80,000 feet high in 15 minutes. It spread across the whole United States. with 1.4 billion cubic yards of ash, one volcano. They said the power of Mount St. Helens was the same as a 24 megaton bomb. Who made helium and hydrogen? God did. Listen to this verse, 2 Peter 3 verse 10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. the earth also, and the works that are in shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ye ought to be in holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hastening unto the coming of the day of God wherein the heavens being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless, we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. That's our hope. Amen? Not on all destruction. Not just the beware of the Lamb and the wrath of God that comes down, but that there's a new creation, a new heaven, a new earth. He's going to renovate or recreate it. There's something, a future still to come. I want you to understand, the Lord doesn't need a nuclear bomb or an H-bomb. In the very nature, in the elements of this world, we have seen the magnitude of the power. I don't call it Mother Nature, I call it the Creator God. And He allowed the volcanoes to explode with such great force that it laid down whole entire forests, just like toothpicks. That's the power. God doesn't need a man to split an atom or harness some kind of isotopic power. to make nuclear fission, He is the Almighty Creator God. All things consist by Him, amen, and are made by Him. So as some people interpret these symbols as the collapse of society, I promise you society will be shaken to its core. But this is an idea of the wrath of the Lamb of God. I want you to understand the scripture says when these things happened, the sun became black as sackcloth, moon become as blood. During the nuclear bomb of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they described the moon looking at the same way. God's going to shake this earth to its core. All he has to do is open up the earth and allow the elements and the heat of the core to meet the water and the atmosphere and things and the elements of creation and atoms and molecules that you and I might think we understand, will roll the heavens together like a scroll. I believe this is natural. I believe God could do this at the speaking of His Word. But I believe He already spoke the Word when He said, let there be light. When He created the heaven and the earth, all these things are already made in the creative hand and power of God. It is amazing this earth doesn't blow all the pieces on any given day. It is fearfully and wonderfully made just like you and I are. All things consist by His power is in His hands and God's going to unleash His judgment according to the book of Revelation when it is time to unleash this great judgment upon this earth. So as I talked about Beware of the Lamb because of this kind of power that's there. Here's my second point. I know y'all didn't believe I only had two points. I want to tell you, believe on the Lamb. Believe upon Him. There's a different phrase or phraseology or words here. People believe in a lot of things. But believe in on. You notice people believe in Bigfoot. Y'all looking at each other right now. I want to believe in Bigfoot. I think Bigfoot's kind of cool creature. When I was a teenager, me and my friends used to go up to the woods and look for Bigfoot all the time. We never found Bigfoot. We never found a Bigfoot bone or fossil, Bigfoot campsite or nothing. My cousin found a Bigfoot footprint, plastered it, took it to school. For a little while, he was really cool. Years later he told me he slipped in the mud at the pond and it was his own footprint. Almost ruined my life. That's believing something that's not real. Some people believe in a lot of characters in this world. Put the belief on and say, I believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm taking my soul's eternity and destiny and laying it upon Him to believe that if I trust in Him and place my faith in Him and ask Him to save me, that if I don't do that, that I will die without Christ and go to hell. And if I don't believe on Him and put everything on Him and bet it all on Him, I'm going to perish and die and spend eternity away from God. in the lake of fires the Bible reveals later in the book of Revelation. That's a whole lot of different hinging of things of believing in and believing on. Who is the image of the invisible God? It's Jesus. God became flesh and dwelt among us. I had talked to a Jehovah's Witness one time that came to the gas pump asking me some things about the kingdom and stuff and trying to talk to me and I knew who she was and it was a cult and I said, listen, let's save you some time. I believe that Jesus Christ is God. I believe that. They don't believe that. And she said, are you content with that? I know y'all have heard this before. Some of y'all have heard it so many times, I feel like I'll repeat myself. I said, I'm very content in that, amen. I believe in Him as God in the flesh that dwell among us. And He gave Himself for us. He's the Savior of the world. And because I believe that, even though I might not understand all the scriptures, such as this complex scripture right here. John 3, 16. For God so loved the world. that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. I don't want to live in this world and even face what might come later thinking that I'm going to have to face and beware of the Lamb. I have believed upon the Lamb of the Lord Jesus Christ. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, John 3.17, but that the world through him might be saved. John 3.18, he that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already. This is the word of God. because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is coming to the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Mountains fall on us, rocks hide us from the Lamb. John 3.20, for everyone that doeth evil hateth the light. Neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 5, 22. For the Father judges no man. God the Father will not judge you, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father that hath sent him. You have trouble with the Trinity, you have trouble with the truth of the Word of God. If you don't honor the Son, you're not honoring the Father. Amen, that's Scripture. I like it when you can just give Scripture and just stand flat-footed on it. I love it. He said, well, they may smack you and knock you down. Well, that's the best place to fall from is flat on the way to God. There's some things you have to tiptoe through around and you got to be careful how you navigate, but there's some places, boy, and just anchor down. Anchor right down on it. I would take a bullet for it. I would die for the truth to know the scripture. I want to honor the Father by honoring the Son. John 5, 24. Verily, verily. And anytime Jesus said, verily, verily, it's the same thought of a very serious statement. Sometimes it'd be like saying, truly, truly, or verily, verily, but he repeated it twice. He wants you to pay attention. He says this, I say unto you, he that heareth my word and believeth on him that hath sent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. Under beware of the Lamb, there's nothing but death coming on this earth. Under believing on the Lamb, there's nothing but life abundant and life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3.16, everlasting life. This world's going to go through Traumatic things that every traumatic thing of history combined together. Said all the world wars combined together couldn't even generate enough power to equal one nuclear bomb that dropped on Hiroshima. all the other bombs that were dropped. Nuclear took it to a new level. Hydrogen bombs are even a higher level. And then God reveals in the underneath the crust of the earth, locked in the hydrogen and helium, locked in the elements of this world, He could destroy the earth with one spoke, one speaking word, one opening seal of the word of God. And that is the sixth seal. He's going to cause such trauma. And that's just the beginning. That's just a little prelude to other things that'll happen. When he opens the seventh seal, it leads us into the seven trumpets that come, and on and on it goes without the scripture. Sometimes the seventh one opens the beginning of the next series. The book of Revelation reveals to us, we need to understand what it is to fear the wrath of the Lamb. But we need to believe on the Lamb to be saved. If you're not saved today, you better beware of the Lamb. The Bible teaches us that He died for your sins. Technically, you are a rejecter. You are one who believeth not. And the Bible says you're condemned. Already. Because you have not believed. Not because of all the sins you've committed, all the wrong you've done, but because you've rejected the truth. And then the tribulation period, as we mentioned this before, When the rapture takes place and a person is left behind, they're going to be sent strong delusion, they're going to believe a lie, they're going to be damned and not be able to receive the truth. So while you have a moment to believe on the Lamb, I beg you, I beseech you to receive the truth of the Scriptures. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Honor the Father by honoring the Son. Believe the Scriptures when God so loved the world. He demonstrated that love. He could have done it in a lot of ways. He has all power. He could have flexed his muscles in any way he wanted, but he sent forth his only begotten son to die on the cross to take your place in my place. He paid for your sin and my sin by laying his life down on the cross of Calvary. Third day, he's from the dead. He's called the Lion of the tribe of Judah because he's going to come forth in the spirit of victory of a lion roaring. But the wrath of the Lamb is what is revealed in this sixth seal. And it puts a lot of fear in me when I really grasp a hold of what has already been evidently seen in this earth. This is just a prelude of things to come. Becky, I want you to come. Now, if I had billions of dollars in technology, I would have had the church placed on some kind of mechanical device and I'd shake this whole building right now. I'd be flipping her up like this. You say, what? I'd get saved then, preacher. Would you? The Bible says, blessed are they that believe and have not seen. I'm one of those blessed ones because I believed in Jesus. I believed on Him even though I have never seen Him. What a beautiful moment when I finally get to behold Him and see Him as He is and I will be like Him. And you as a believer have that same hope, that hope within you that purifies yourself even as you are pure. That is our blessed hope. I'm glad I've bowed up Him and I've called upon His name and at that every knee will bow. Listen, I've believed upon Him. My bowing was to believe upon Him, not to bow under His wrath. Hope you know the difference. As He plays, every head bowed, every eye closed. This earth is going to shake more than one time. They cried out, they said to 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 has come. And who shall be able to stand? And the answer is no one's gonna be able to stand on that day. The church, many of you older folks here, You understand the importance of this? Well, it wasn't too many years ago you could preach something out of Revelation and it would shake people to their core. But there's so much stuff in movies, there's so much stuff out there in this world that's virtual and make-believe and science and all that, and science fiction. It seems like you can't get people to really fear God and fear His Word anymore. But you know what the key is, Brother Robert? I've come to understand this. It's still dependent upon the conviction of the Holy Ghost of God. He has to convict the heart. He has to shake the soul to its core. He has to convince you if you die without Christ, you're going to go to hell. He has to convince you that this is the truth of the Word of God. These events are coming upon the earth. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be left behind. And thank God because of May 15, 1989, amen, when I bowed upon my knees, I couldn't stand anymore. And I didn't want the wrath of the Lamb, I wanted the mercy of the Lamb of God. And I called upon His name and He saved my soul from sin. And now He's my Savior. As I look to Him, I won't just see Him as judge, I'll see Him as my advocate. He's my advocate, called alongside to represent me. What a great court case that'd make, wouldn't it? I'm guilty as the day is long, and yet my own lawyer, and my own lawyer is my own judge, is the same one who's gonna take my place and pay the time for me. You're talking about grace and mercy. That'll blow a little bitty poor Brian Ellison's squirrel cage brain, amen? That's hard to comprehend, man. The grace and the mercy of God. Believe on the Lamb. Beware of the Lamb. When I ask you a question, there's no bodies looking around. Every eye is closed. Please, every head bowed. If the Lord came back today, do you know you'd be raptured? Do you know you'd leave? Do you know you're going to heaven? He said, Preacher, I know. I'm ready. I'm saved. Would you raise your hand? I know I'm ready. Boy, several hands up. Boy, that's good. Some of you shaking them hands. You're shaking them hands. You're shaking them fists and praise and thanksgiving. You can put them down. You're thankful that you know you don't have to face the wrath of the Lamb, but you have received the mercy of the Lamb. Mercy of God. If you're not saved here today, this will be the day of salvation for you. Be a good moment to come down to this altar and make your call and election sure. Give your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. Church, how many of you have got loved ones you know that are lost and they're not ready for this? They ignore this, they reject this, they're not receiving this. Would you raise your hand and signal, pray for them. The wrath of the Lamb is what they're going to face. Pray for them, God, that they would believe on the Lamb and trust Jesus as their Savior and not face the wrath of God. Only God can open up their understanding and enlighten their heart and their mind. Only God can show them. But through the Word of God, the times you witness to them, the scriptures you talk about, the times you invite in the church, the times you try to lead them to that truth of the Word of God, because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Pray God will open their hearts and save their souls. And let's pray that every one of us who really believe these things are coming on this earth, believe the revelation of Jesus Christ revealed in these scriptures. That we believe and walk in this truth knowing that this is real. This time is coming. Let us redeem the time that we're living in. Let's walk close to God. Walk right for Him. Be a light and be an example. Father, we pray for the lost that might be here that didn't raise their hand, for those who raised their hand asking to pray for the lost loved ones that they have, that they know that if they were to die today or you would return soon, that they are not ready, they're not prepared to meet their God. and they're gonna meet you in wrath one day instead of mercy. God, I pray for conviction that you'd open up their heart. Please save their soul. Tender their heart. God, let them see. Open up their minds and their understanding that they could see the word of God being revealed around us every single day. And save them, Lord, before it's too late. In Jesus' name we pray.
