You're going out of the world some day. That day with your number on it,
it's coming. You're going to die.

Where are you going? To what are you going to face on the other side?
And God warns you. And He warns you by the flood. He warns you through
Adam.

He warns you through the Amorites. He warns you by Sodom and Gomorrah.
He warns you through a double destruction of Jerusalem.

He told those people the same thing. If you don't obey My voice, I am
going to wipe you off the face of the earth. And they kept on, and they
kept on, and they kept on.

Can you imagine those prophets? One prophet after another. Decade after
decade, another prophet comes and warns. Death is coming.

Destruction is coming. God is going to wipe you out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We've heard that before. Kill that guy. Throw that guy in jail.

Where is it? And they kept saying. And it came. And the Babylonians
came.

And then it happened all over again. And even Jesus came. And they
killed Him.

And then the Romans came. These things are warnings. He warns you in His
Word.

You must stand before Him and He is going to judge you in righteousness.
Can you imagine those folks in Noah's day? I mean, see them. Hear them.

Listen to them. That day, hey, Noah's not working on the ark anymore.
The door's shut.

Yeah, and the clouds are looking strange. It looks dark. And this was no
ordinary rain.

And something began to happen. Something threatening. I'll tell you what
had happened.

Time ran out. It was over. Mercy was exhausted.

God's patience had come to an end. And when those first drops of rain
began to fall down, that door was shut. Remember how it says it in the
Gospel? And the door was shut.

And those servants, those five virgins that were on the outside, when
the door shut, the door shut. Today is the day of salvation. If you
foolishly laugh and mock and play on and eat and drink and plant and
marry, and that door gets shut and takes you, you're a fool.

You are warned. This is a warning you want to take with the utmost of
your attention. Imagine that.

That door shut. God sealed them in. The one place of refuge gone.

If you let death take you and you're outside of Christ, it's gone. All
the hope is gone. Who was laughing then? I don't know.

Some of them probably said, we got to get to high ground. Some probably
banged and clawed on the side of that ark. It was all for naught.

They were doomed. They had crossed the point of no return. There's no
more safety.

There's no more hiding place. It's too late. There was a place of
salvation.

God did provide a way of escape. They laughed at it. They ignored it.

They ridiculed it. Christ is the ark. There is not another.

When He comes, the door's shut. When you die, the door's shut.
