I just brought a message into our church
family's understanding a few weeks ago about Genesis
1-1.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and
the earth.
And I said if you can't get past
Genesis 1-1, you needn't worry about John
3-16.
You've got to get that first part settled.
He's either God or he's not God.
The problem is that our society does not
respond well to authority.
No one wants to be told what to
do.
No one wants to submit to any authority.
A culture and a society grows out of
control when we reject the Word of God.
And the symptoms of that rejection are shown
in the fact that as a culture and
a people, we're trying to remove God from
our understanding.
We no longer want Him in our school,
even though His Word used to be our
textbook.
But now we don't want Him in the
school.
Not only do we not want a Bible
in the school, but we don't want to
pray to God in the school.
And we continued by then saying it was
bad for children and teenagers to read the
Ten Commandments.
It might warp them.
It might psychologically damage them.
So we removed the Ten Commandments from our
schools, our courthouses, our public buildings.
And now we have a generation that has
no God, no morals or values.
And they ended up warped.
It's not worth the trade-offs that we've
made.
As we gather here tonight, the world is
in upheaval.
Turmoil is everywhere.
They're crying peace and safety.
We've never had a world giving more awards
for peace and Nobel Peace Prizes and conversations
of peace.
But yet, we cannot seem to find any
peace.
Every continent has rebels, revolution, pain, war, and
suffering.
There's not a peaceful place on planet Earth
tonight because we have neglected the Prince of
Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ.
It all comes from the fact that as
a world, we do not believe God.
We do not believe His Word, and we
do not believe Him.
When I read Revelation 6, I understand that
this passage of Scripture is referred to as
passages that are taking place in the Great
Tribulation.
In most of our Baptist churches, we believe
in the pre-Trib Rapture of the Church.
We believe that the Church will be taken
out of this old world before the Lord
comes back.
I have personal pastor friends that do not
believe that.
That's not the reason for me to break
fellowship with them.
I love them.
We're just talking about interpretation of certain Scriptures.
We're not talking about the fundamentals of the
faith.
Revelation 6 talks about those that don't go,
those that are left behind.
So when I read this passage, I'm not
telling you we're in the Tribulation.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I'm saying these writings in Revelation are things
that are going to come on this earth.
If we had three or four nights of
Bible prophecy, I would show you what the
world is saying, and what those that are
teaching around the world in false religion and
culture are saying.
And they're even teaching in their cults and
religions something great is about to happen.
If you were to be left behind, according
to the Word of God, we have the
horsemen of Revelation 6.
We have the red horse rider.
We have the white horse rider, the black
horse rider, and the pale horse rider.
And those seals are starting to be opened.
In verse 12 it says, 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 then if you notice in verse 15,
the latter part of the verse, it says
they hid themselves in the dens and in
the rocks of the mountains.
And they said to the mountains and rocks,
Fall on us, and hide us from the
face of him that sitteth on the throne
from the wrath of the Lamb.
Notice verse 17.
And the great day of his wrath is
come, and who shall be able to stand?
If you notice verse 12, it says, In
the great tribulation many things are going to
be happening.
And there's all kinds of seals and vows
and trumpets and angels that are going to
be dealing with those that are left behind.
And the thought that came upon my heart
a few hours ago, as I was praying
and studying and the Lord showed me out
of this giant tsunami that has taken in
twelve nations and killed thousands and thousands of
people.
God began to deal with me, Ralph, while
the church is asleep.
There's been a giant tsunami of sin, and
it is doing the same thing every single
day, but it's just not on the news.
We're seeing that tsunami of sin, and it's
destroying thousands.
It's creating death and devastation.
And boy, God began to break my heart
afresh and anew.
And I told the church family when I
shared with them the message I shared with
you last night on the tsunami of sin,
that God has stirred me again and afresh
and anew that the coming of the Lord
is nigh, and the church ought to awaken
out of its slumber.
We ought to love lost people like we've
never loved lost people.
And we ought to have a vision and
a will and a desire to work like
never before.
We ought to get in the local church
and say, God, if you want me to
teach a class or to be an assistant,
you want me to sing in the choir,
I'll go to choir practice, I'll drive a
bus, I'll work in the nursery, because there's
a reason, there's a cause, for the church
to be awake and on fire tonight, because
King Jesus is coming and He could come
before we get to the car.
You talk about the prophecies of the Word
of God erupting since September the 11th.
Nothing has held the accelerator down on the
Bible prophecies in our world like these events
of the past two or three years.
It's been unbelievable.
So many things happening.
Things that I didn't even think I would
see in my lifetime.
Who ever dreamed that we'd be this close
to the coming of the Lord?
But yet as we sit here tonight, these
events are coming upon us.
And when I started looking at this tsunami
of sin and the powerful illustration, it seemed
like the Holy Spirit just spoke to me.
I was listening to another brother preach, and
he was upset about what was going on
in the world and how quickly things were
changing.
And the Lord just whispered to me, Now,
do you believe Me, Ralph?
Now, do you believe My Word?
And I said, Well, God, You know I
believe Your Word.
You know I believe the Bible.
He said, But do you ever remember a
day where you believe it like you believe
it today?
Now, do you believe God?
Oh, listen, when we come to Revelation 6
and we look at verse 12, it says
that during the tribulation, there's going to be
a great earthquake.
Do you realize three days before Christmas, do
you realize there was a great earthquake between
Antarctica and New Zealand?
And it rattled all the seismographic recording devices
around the world.
They said it was a great earthquake.
They were concerned that there would be a
tsunami from that shifting and vibrating.
And for all we know, there could have
been in Antarctica.
But there was a great earthquake, and it
rattled all of their scientific cages around the
world.
But if that wasn't enough, on Sunday morning,
December the 26th, underneath the Indian Ocean, out
of sight, down deep, all of a sudden,
with a violent explosion, 100 feet of the
ocean floor jumps up as God cracks open
the crust of the earth.
And with the force of 1,000 nuclear
bombs, it rips across 750 miles of the
Indian Ocean floor.
And another great earthquake has now rattled our
earth.
Can you imagine what was happening?
The scientists are now saying, as that earth
was on its axis, spinning on its orbit
around the earth, that that was such a
great force of energy, that it literally wobbled
planet earth on its axis.
A great earthquake.
Notice what it says here in verse 12.
And I beheld when he had opened the
sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great
earthquake.
You say, well, Brother Ralph, do you believe
that we're in the tribulation?
No.
But I'll tell you where I do think
we are.
Go to the book of Matthew, if you
would.
Matthew 24, and verse number 8.
When you look at Matthew 24, and you
get down to verses 3, 4, and 5,
we find disciples talking to Jesus.
They've got the same kind of questions that
you have, and that I have.
They're saying, what shall be the sign of
thy coming?
When will it happen?
When will it take place?
And you know what's happening?
Jesus begins to answer them.
Notice what he says in verse 8.
And all these are what?
He has listed famine, war.
He's talking about wars and rumors of war.
He's talking about what we're seeing in our
news.
He's talking about the revolution and the violent
death that's taking place in the Philippines.
He's talking about last Sunday morning, that in
Colombia, they killed 17 people in an ambush.
He's talking about in Peru, that the reserve
army has now captured hostages trying to overthrow
the government.
He's talking about North Korea and South Korea.
He's talking about Taiwan and mainland China.
He's talking about Russia and the providences of
Uzbekistan and Afghanistan and the problems that went
on in Iraq, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates.
Do you understand?
He's talking about Israel, Syria, Jordan.
Do you not understand that around the world,
Africa, every nation almost on the entire continent
is in a bloodbath?
Sudan, already 1.8 million people displaced.
Already, almost a half a million Christians have
been killed while we're in our comfort and
our leisure.
If you were a Bible believer in the
Sudan, you would think you're already in the
Great Tribulation.
Would you not?
House is gone.
Family's been killed, tortured and murdered.
You would be crying out, where is God?
Where is Jesus?
Do you understand?
Matthew 24, he's listing all of these events.
He's going down through them.
And then Jesus says, all these are the
beginning of sorrows.
And then what's the last phrase?
And, the end is what?
Not yet.
What he's talking about, my friend, is that
there has to be a start of the
end.
Before you can have an ending, somewhere you
have to commence to start the ending.
You've got to start the end.
With all my heart, intellectually and spiritually, I
really believe that I'm speaking to people tonight
who will never, ever, ever meet an undertaker.
I believe that.
I believe you'll meet an upper taker, but
you won't meet an undertaker.
I believe that.
I believe we're going home and it could
be soon.
Boy, that choir got to singing about heaven,
I started packing.
I'm telling you what, Jesus is coming.
And you need to know He could come
tonight.
Now, maybe some of us will have to
go by the grave, I don't know.
But I believe in the sound of my
voice are people that will see and be
alive to hear the trumpet of God sound.
And, whoa, what a day that'll be.
Wouldn't that solve some problems tonight?
I believe Gabriel's hanging off the side, looking
over at the throne, and he's saying, let's
get him out of that mess.
Come on, Jesus, get him out.
He's licking his lips, got the horn off
the wall, ready to sound the great trumpet.
Call the children of God home, the church
is coming home.
And Jesus is saying, just a minute, just
hold on a second, there's a little boy
standing over there in a rock.
And an old American boy from Tennessee or
North Carolina just got out of his Humvee,
walked over there, and giving him an old
gospel tract in Arabic.
He's sharing with him a piece of candy
and the Word of God.
Let that little boy get in.
He's the last one.
And when that little boy gets in, the
trumpet of God will sound.
And the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Do you believe Him now?
I'm telling you, God's Word is real.
I believe with all my heart, church, that
we have lost the thrill and the joy
and the excitement that goes with the imminent
return of the Lord.
We've gotten so caught up in materialism that
it's unbelievable.
I just had a friend of mine flown
over to see his family for Christmas.
His children are members of our church.
And Victor and Nadja, Nadja's dad came in.
And he lived in Moscow.
And when Stalin fell from power, he had
an opportunity, he and his pastor, to organize
a church that was a window of religious
liberty.
And then Khrushchev comes to power and the
Red Army cracks down.
And over the next 26 years, the pastor
and five of those members of that church
spent 18 years in prison.
Not until Gorbachev came to power.
And Nadja stood up Sunday morning and told
our church on Christmas Sunday, I said, Nadja,
how did you spend Christmas in Russia?
And she said the young ones would lock
their arms and we'd make baby steps through
waist deep snow, tracking and packing the snow
so we could make a trail for the
old ones and the crippled ones to go
to the woods so we could have Christmas
service and pray out to King Jesus who
was celebrating his birthday.
But we had to have church in the
woods, in the snow.
We're sitting there in our fine building like
you've got a beautiful building and we're spoiled.
And what communism couldn't do to America, materialism
has taken our love of God and our
Bible and we are caught up in the
things of this world.
Now, do you believe, Todd, that His coming
draweth nigh?
I really believe that if we understand God
will keep His Word, God's going to judge
sin.
You look at the Garden of Eden.
That tsunami of sin started there.
I talked about that last night.
That giant rock of sin fell into the
human blood race.
And we see now that that ripple has
lasted until today.
What happened when Adam and Eve sinned?
Well, first of all, they discovered they didn't
have any clothes on.
Then they had broken fellowship with God.
Then an angel's placed at the gate so
they can't get back in.
Then the woman's going to have pain in
childbirth.
Then they've got to work for what they
eat.
And then death entered into their lives.
They were equipped to live forever.
And then the serpent is then cursed.
Look at Genesis chapter 3 in the Bible,
verse number 9.
God's looking for Adam and Eve.
And He calls out to Him, Adam, where
are you?
Where art thou?
In verse number 10, Adam responds to God.
And when he hears the voice of God,
he's hiding.
And this is what he says to God.
I was afraid.
And God said, well, son, we've walked together
day in and day out.
Why would you be afraid of me?
And he said, because I was naked.
And God said, why?
Adam, who told you you were naked?
Who told you you didn't have any clothes
on?
You've been clothed in righteousness.
You've walked with me.
How did you find out you didn't have
any clothes on?
And when that was discovered, when that was
found out, then what happened in verse 12
of Genesis 3?
Why, Adam began to blame the woman.
And that blame came.
And any time someone gets caught in sin,
you watch what they do.
They always blame somebody else.
You don't know what I was caught up
in.
You don't know what they did.
You don't know what they said about me.
The blame came.
You get a little child, and they haven't
been to sin school.
They haven't learned how to go sin.
And they'll start lying.
They'll start telling you stuff.
They'll make up stuff.
And then you'll say, who made this mess?
And they'll point to their little brother, three
weeks old, in a bassinet.
He did it.
Why?
That's in the human heart.
And it's there because of this tsunami of
sin.
That blame came.
Watch what happened in verse 14.
The serpent's been cursed.
Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and thus
shalt thou eat all the days of your
life.
And verse 15 is that powerful verse about
God's going to bruise His head.
Go over to Revelation 12.9, Romans 16
and 20.
All of those talk about that great verse
of Genesis 3.15. When you're there in
Romans, and it says that God is going
to bruise His head in the New Testament,
it means to crush His head.
God's going to destroy His power.
God's going to judge sin.
We've forgotten that in the church today.
We've made room for sin in the house
of God.
We're having seminars for pastors and churches how
to make sinners comfortable in the house of
God.
How we can change church.
How we can get rid of the blood
out of our songbook.
How we can get rid of the cross
on our buildings.
How we can pull the altars out or
a place to pray.
Because we don't want the sinner to feel
uncomfortable.
The only way I ever got saved, and
you got saved, is I got uncomfortable in
the presence of a three times holy God.
You can't ever get saved until you get
lost.
And you'll never get saved and get lost
and understand what's happening while the church is
trying to provide religious entertainment for you on
the showboat on the way to hell.
We've got to have God on our church.
God on our choir.
God on our singing.
God on our Sunday school classes.
God on the nursery.
God on the youth department.
God on the senior saints.
God back on the house of God.
God back on the preaching.
God back on the reading.
God on the eating.
God on everything we do.
That God the Holy Name will be lifted
up in this day and hour.
That men will know God hasn't changed.
And we can turn around and say, now
do you believe God?
He hasn't changed.
And He's not going to change.
Psalm 76 and verse 7, Who may stand
in thy sight when once thou art angry?
Who can stand in thy sight when God
is once angry?
When I read that in the Psalms, you
know what it makes me think?
That God's wrath is building.
And once He sets that anger in motion,
His long-suffering is over.
His grace is over.
His mercy is over.
Now, who's going to stand up once God
is angry?
Revelation 6, 17.
Notice what the Word of God says, For
the great day of His wrath is come.
And who shall be able to stand?
Who shall be able to stand in the
great day of His wrath?
Now, do you believe God?
It's not an accident that the USA has
been in Kuwait.
It's not an accident that we're in the
United Arab Emirates.
It's not an accident that we're in Iraq.
These are areas that were closed to the
Gospel.
This doesn't have anything to do with Republicans
or Democrats.
This has to do with a holy God
moving the chess pieces, getting ready for His
Son to come back.
And the reason we're in Iraq and in
that part of the world, is that has
been closed.
You couldn't get in there with the Gospel.
And back there on the table, I've got
that message on the country of Iraq and
the illustrations where we show you the map
of the ancient city of Babylon and the
reconstruction, so that you understand it's not an
accident that we're there.
Do you realize that this would not allow
the Gospel in?
You couldn't have a Bible.
You would be beheaded.
If you talked about Jesus Christ, these countries
were closed to the Gospel.
But now, we've got United States men and
women.
We've got British men and women.
We've got Australian men and women.
We've got countries of Europe.
And they're all going in there.
And in every army, there's born again, washed
in the blood, Bible believers.
And one of the captains, we just had
him from the Tennessee unit come to our
church and testify.
And you know what he said?
He said, we had so many soldiers getting
saved, and they were witnessing to so many
people when they saw the Bible come alive.
He said that we had to put up
wire, bring the Humvees and the trucks, and
cut off a place around the Euphrates River.
He said one Sunday afternoon, we baptized over
100 new converts in the Euphrates River in
downtown Baghdad.
Was that going to happen?
Only God opened the door.
Our local church up in Asheville, we were
just able to put 10,000 Arabic Bibles
in Baghdad.
Glory to God.
You think about what God's done.
You're mad at the Democrats, mad at the
Republicans, and God's saying, would you just pay
attention.
I'm trying to get ready for my son
to come back.
I'm trying to get a few more in.
Trying to draw the net one more time.
Now do you believe God?
Hey, Jesus is coming.
And He's trying to get the church ready.
It's not an accident tonight about the tsunami.
You say, well, how could God kill those
babies?
How could God allow that death and devastation?
I'm not mad at God.
I'm not upset at God.
I'm glad God told the ocean to lay
back down.
I'm glad God stopped it with 12 nations.
What if God had let it go?
What if God had said I want the
waves 100 feet, not 30 feet?
What if God had said it won't be
60 feet, but it'll be 120 feet?
But God didn't do that.
Even when the judgment started, God had mercy.
And God restrained it.
And when those waves started rolling to other
nations, God said that's enough.
Lay down.
And they bowed down at His feet.
And He put the ocean back in its
bed.
Hey!
He stopped the earth from ripping in two.
He didn't let it go 7,000 miles.
He stopped it at 750 miles.
You say, what about those babies?
What about those babies?
They're on the streets of gold.
Hey!
He took those little innocent ones.
Took them out of that degradation and out
of that idolatry.
Took them right out of that ungodliness and
said, I'm getting ready to clean this old
world up.
You all come to the house and wait
on the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Now do you believe God?
God's got a plan.
He's not a God of accident.
He's not a God of oops.
He's a God of plan and design.
And He's got it ordained for this day
and hour that we're living in.
You need to understand that if it hadn't
been for God's hand, there would be no
witness in that part of the world.
No Bibles.
No churches.
Hearts with Hands, we met today.
We're planning to go into the nation of
India.
And we have a little network there where
we've worked in the past with 300 Christian
churches in India.
And Joshua called us from Hyderabad today and
talked to Dr. Turney.
And he said, there are so many orphans.
Mamas and daddies were killed.
And he said, what are we going to
do?
And I said, well, that's something we could
do in America.
I said, we'll come to India with the
medical team.
And we've got the doctors ready today and
the nurses ready.
And we're going to fly them into India.
And we're going to operate down on the
coastline one of the churches that didn't get
washed away.
We're going to put up a feeding center
so that you can give money to buy
rice and cooking oil.
And then we're going to go over to
that orphanage and we're going to put a
second floor on it.
And if we have to, we'll build another
one beside it.
And I said, we'll make sure that they
come out of those homes that have never
heard the gospel and those little boys and
girls that think they don't have anything.
They're going to get everything.
They're going to get life eternal.
Somebody's going to tell them about King Jesus.
Hey, I want you to know that God
loves people around the world.
And he's making sure that before his son
comes, every continent, every island, whether it's Nicobar
Islands, whether it's Sri Lanka, whether it is
Sumatra, that all of these places they're landing.
And guess what's on the side of the
boxes?
A big red cross.
Where'd that come from?
Salvation Army.
World Vision.
Hearts with Hands.
Christian Aid.
Save the Children.
It's Christian organizations around the world.
And they're coming into those places where six
weeks ago you would have been shot.
You would have been beheaded.
A Christian, a Westerner, couldn't walk on the
streets of Bandi Ache.
But now the child of God is there
giving out medicine, passing out hope, loving boys
and girls, and God saying, now do you
believe me?
We've been asleep at the house of God.
We didn't believe how close we were to
the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
You understand that on December the 26th when
that giant tsunami swept out, a 9.0
earthquake according to the scientists, and God said
in Matthew, go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel.
And we couldn't go into all the world.
There were curtains up.
We couldn't go into Iraq.
We couldn't go into Indonesia.
We couldn't go into these nations.
But now Christian organizations from around the world
are landing, taking aid, taking the Word of
God, taking the love of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
It's not an accident.
God wants you to understand where there was
now darkness, there's now light pouring in.
And it's God's message to the whole world.
Now, do you believe God?
Think about that great earthquake.
Twelve nations visited in seven hours.
A tsunami of biblical proportions.
And in some cases, in a 30-minute
visit, there were families, villages, communities wiped out,
removed from the face of the earth.
They said in one village they got to
today that there were 7,000 residents in
that village, and only 300 are left alive.
6,700 died in 30 minutes.
These nations are now receiving help and love.
You think about those seven hours that changed
the world.
You think about that death and destruction.
Matthew 24 said, verse 8, All this is
just the beginning.
This isn't a great tribulation.
I think about seven years of tribulation.
You read here in the Word of God
all these vows and all these trumpets.
And you know what it says?
It says it gets so bad that men
start trying to kill themselves.
They try to get away from the wrath
and judgment of God.
And God says, well, you know what?
Because you've rejected Me, rejected My Word, rejected
My Son, I'm going to take death from
you.
You won't even be able to die.
You say, well, I can kill Myself.
The Bible says you won't be able to.
You say, well, I'd have to get out
of that seven years.
I couldn't stand that.
And that's what will happen.
People that have played church, played religion, thought
I've always got tomorrow, they said, well, I'll
just do it later.
I've got a little more partying I want
to do.
And God said, I'll take away your ability
to take your own life.
You won't be able to die.
You say, well, I'll go to New York
and I'll get on top of the Empire
State Building and I'll jump off.
Well, when you get to the bottom and
every bone in your body is broken and
you can't walk, your jawbone is broken, you
can't talk, your ribs are broken and you're
crushed on the inside, and all of your
internal organs are crushed and broken.
And you're just a mass of broken cells
bleeding.
God said, I will not allow you to
die.
You will lay there and still feel and
not be able to die.
I didn't make that up.
That's in the book.
Now, do you believe God?
God's preparing the world, if we'll pay attention,
for what's coming.
And He's warning us and warning us.
Because this verse said in Revelation 6-12
that there's a great earthquake coming.
You say, well, Brother Ralph, is this it?
No, this is just a 9.0. You
wait until God sends the big earthquake.
Revelation 6-17 says, what if God were
angry?
What if God was willing to show His
wrath?
You think all this death and destruction, the
total from the beginning of the earthquake to
the tsunami's last wave in Africa, it took
seven hours to do all this.
And the world's going crazy.
The whole world's talking about it.
Go to the international channels.
Every channel is covered up.
The whole world's consumed in this.
This is seven hours.
What if God hadn't put the ocean to
bed?
What if He had let it go for
seven days?
What if He just wave after wave?
And the waves kept building.
What if He kept earthquakes?
Did you know since Christmas Day, the earthquakes
that have increased, and since December the 26th,
they've had 100 aftershocks.
One hundred.
Last night was 6.5. My grandchildren live
in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Just a few days ago, they had a
6.2 that killed people in Costa Rica.
6.2. Last night, out of 100 aftershocks,
they've had 7.2, 7.3, 7.5.
Last night, they had a 6.5. One
hundred of them.
What if God were willing?
What if He didn't stop the earth?
What if He kept trembling and shaking this
whole earth?
Not for seven hours.
Not for seven hours of waves.
But what if He let it go for
seven days?
What would happen if God let the judgment
come for seven weeks?
What if God allowed it to happen for
seven months?
But the Bible says, I'm going to do
it for seven years.
The last three and a half years, the
Bible says, will be days the world has
never known.
Three and a half years of false peace.
Three and a half years of days we've
never seen before.
It's going to take place.
God's crying to us tonight to listen to
His Holy Word.
What happened?
You see, tonight, we've got twelve nations have
been humbled.
Nations are crying out for help.
Did you see those helicopters?
They couldn't even land for the people screaming,
help me.
They couldn't even land holding up their hands
saying, help me.
Nations are crying.
Families are crying.
Children are just crying.
They're afraid.
Now, do you believe your Bible?
Now, do you believe God?
Now, do you believe God has the power
to judge?
Listen, God judged sin in the Garden of
Eden.
God judged sin in Noah's generation.
He sent a great flood.
God judged sin in Sodom.
He rained fire from heaven.
And in the book of Matthew, we read
that God said, when Jesus comes back to
earth, one of the ways you'll know, no
man knows the day, no man knows the
hour.
But things that went on in Noah's day
will be going on in the day Jesus
comes.
On Nicobar Island on Sunday, December the 26th,
those islands and many places are not any
higher than your platform.
They're very flat.
The survivor said, not only did we have
the horror of the tsunami, but said when
the earthquake came, said our islands started breaking
open.
And said great geysers of water had already
flooded us.
The fountains of the deep broke open.
And while we're running and screaming for our
lives, we ran to the coast to get
to our boats, and we're greeted with a
wall of water.
The tsunami.
The fountains of the deep broke open.
The only documented evidence we have that's happened
since the days of Noah.
Genesis chapter 7, verse 11.
Genesis chapter 8, verse number 2.
The fountains of the deep.
While we sit here tonight, God's trying to
wake the church up.
He's trying to get you to shake up
and sit up and pay attention so that
you can be asked one question.
Now do you believe God?
Now do you believe His Word?
Now do you believe the book of Genesis?
Now do you believe the book of Revelation?
God wrote that Bible.
God preserved that Bible for this day and
for this generation.
So shall it be.
Genesis 7-11.
Genesis 8-2.
And when you think about what happened on
those Nicobar Islands, it's almost unbelievable.
The great earthquake.
Look at it again in Revelation 6-12.
And behold, and I beheld, and when he
had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there
was a great earthquake.
We had two great earthquakes in less than
a week.
We had the one in Antarctica and New
Zealand.
We had a 9.0 there in the
Indian Ocean.
And you know what it says in the
latter part of this verse?
Look at verse 14.
The heavens departed as a scroll when it
rolled together, and every mountain and island were
moved out of their places.
Scientists are now saying that the island of
Sumatra was moved out of its place.
Its GPS on the map has been moved
100 feet.
God moved the whole island.
So over in North Carolina, the Holy Spirit
could look you in the eye and say,
Now do you believe God?
I just scooted it.
I just moved it over 100 feet so
you could know I could move it forever
and if I wanted to.
Huh?
Revelation 6.12 says that the islands and
the mountains were moved out of their places.
And God said, I moved it last Sunday
so you'd get ready for My Son to
come.
My, now do you believe God?
