This sermon emphasizes the urgent call to repentance for the church in North America, drawing parallels to the messages to the churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3. It highlights the need for the church to repent of worldliness, complacency, and compromise, and to return to a faithful, steadfast relationship with God. The consequences of not repenting are portrayed as facing great tribulation and losing God's favor and blessings.

Arno Clemens Gaebelein preaches about the alarming rise of apostasy and departure from the fundamental truths of Christianity in various denominations, including the acceptance of Humanism, Human Divinity, and the mockery of solemn truths like the Bible, salvation, and the Passion of Christ. The sermon highlights the dangerous trends of incorporating worldly practices like dancing, entertainment, and idolatrous rituals into church activities, leading to a compromising and secularized form of Christianity. The mention of the Oberammergau passion play and the glorification of Anton Lang's portrayal of Christ as heart-breaking but not shocking reflects the distortion and misrepresentation of the true Gospel message.
