"ENDLESS HOURS OF ANGUISH"
by
Pastor Tony Sutton
Gen
7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh,
as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
GOD SHUT
THEM IN
A)
.THE GREAT DEEPS OPENED UP. I BELIEVE THAT WATER WAS NOT ONLY
POURING FROM THE SKY, BUT IT BEGAN TO BURST FROM THE GROUND.
B)
GOD SHUT THE DOOR I BELIEVE, BECAUSE NOAH COULD NOT LEAVE THE
OTHERS, NO MATTER HOW BAD THEY TREATED HIM. HE WOULD HAVE OPENED
THE DOOR WHEN HE HEARD THE SCREAMS.
INSIDE WITH
GOD
A)
NOAH WAS SAFE. HE WAS INSIDE THE ARK, WHERE GOD WANTED HIM. HE
HAD A SECURE FUTURE.
B)
NOAH HAD ALL HE NEEDED. HIS EVERY NEED WAS PROVIDED FOR.
OUTSIDE
WITHOUT GOD
A)
EVERYONE OUTSIDE WAS DOOMED TO DIE. THEY HAD NO HOPE. IT WAS
JUST A MATTER OF TIME, UNTIL THEY WOULD DIE.
B)
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE? DID THEY DIE INSTANTLY, OR DID THEY
SUFFER?
WHO DIED?
A)
AND AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOE, SO SHALL IT ALSO BE IN THE
DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN. LUKE 17:26
B)
MANY DIED FROM ALL AGES.
CRIES FROM
OUTSIDE
A)
NO DOUBT THERE WERE MOTHERS CRYING OUT FOR NOAH TO JUST
OPEN THE DOOR AND GET THERE BABIES. PLEASE TAKE MY
GRANDMOTHER. MEN BEGGING FOR NOAH TO HELP HIS FAMILY.
CRIES TO GOD FOR MERCY.
B)
CHILDREN SCREAMING FOR HELP. DO YOU NOT THINK THAT
THESE PEOPLE HAD KIDS? HOW COULD THIS BE. COULD GOD ALLOW THIS
KIND OF AWFUL DEATH TO BEFALL KIDS AND ELDERLY PEOPLE. NOAH
PREACHED GET READY!!!
WHEN
WE HEAR OR READ THE STORY OF NOAH, WE ALWAYS THINK OF THE MEAN AND
NASTY PEOPLE THAT RAILED ON NOAH. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DIED.
WELL, SADLY I INFORM YOU. IN THOSE DAYS THERE SURELY WERE YOUNG
KIDS AND ELDERLY, THAT DIED AS WELL AS THE MEAN AND NASTY. WE
WONDER HOW GOD COULD ALLOW CHILDREN TO DIE. WELL GOD SENT A
PREACHER AND HE SENT THE MEANS OF SAFETY. IT WAS UP TO THEM TO
EXCEPT IT. MUCH LIKE TODAY. GOD HAS SENT HIS WORD THROUGH
PREACHERS, TEACHERS, SINGERS, ETC..... WE THINK WE HAVE FOR EVER
TO GET READY. I WOUNDER HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR THEM ALL TO DIE. YOU
WILL HAVE AN ETERNITY. OH THE ENDLESS HOURS OF ANGUISH. WILL YOU
COME TO JESUS? HOW LONG WILL YOU WAIT? I HOPE NOT TOO LONG!!!
Friend: Would you let us know if this sermon has led you to the
Lord, inspired you to re-dedicate your life to the Lord, or simply
been a Blessing unto you?
