Midnight Call
Evangelist Rachel Thomas
When we hear of
Global warming, fires,
floods, earthquakes, airplane
crashes, etc., we are shocked
at the huge loss of so many
lives.
Think of it as God's
midnight call. No, He does
not have to be the one that
causes these catastrophes,
however it can bring to mind
that more could have been
saved!
We read in the Bible,
about the judgment of
Sodom and Gomorrah,
which was terrible.
Suddenly all the people were
destroyed by fire and brim
stone falling from heaven.
The midnight call came
before it happened, but they
wouldn't listen and they
could have been saved.
Lot warned his sons in
law in Genesis 19:14, but to
no avail, and they all died.
It was horrific when the
flood covered the whole
earth in the davs of Noah and
it rained forty days and
nights in Genesis 7:11-12.
We must see "the signs
of Time" now because it is
the Midnight Call.
It is your Time Now.
Romans 3:10 says," There is
none righteous, no not one."
But God in His great
love with which He sent His
Only Son Jesus to bring the
salvation when He bled, and
died on the Cross of Calvary
for your sins, and mine, and
not only die, but also He rose
from the dead for our justifi
cation (Romans 4:25).
Now you can adhere to
the Great Midnight call and
avoid the worst tragedy ever.
For over 2000 years
now, the Lord God has
caused the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to be preached
throughout the world.
The warning is going
out even to this day. I pray
that you would open your
hearts to Christ now; while
He is waiting at the door of
your heart. He can only come
in to give you Life worth liv
ing as you open the door.

THE LAST DAYS NOW'"
