Full Transcript
Maybe, just maybe, He'll let you die in your sins. God would never do that. Friend, it's obvious you have a very, very low knowledge of God.
If you'll read from Genesis to Revelation, God does anything He wants. See, God has done stuff like this. He's just opened up the earth at times, just swallowed whole families up.
Children, puppies, cats, mama, grandma, just kill them all. Why? Because that's what He wanted to do at that particular time. He just decided to kill them all because there's too much sin in the camp.
There's too much unbelief. There was too much division. There's too many people that wanted to have one hand in His and one hand in the devil.
And He was saying, those of you in the middle, the earth is going to open up. I'm going to eat you alive because I don't want a divided people.
