Flee at Once

Listen from:
A swiss peasant had built his cottage on one of the lower slopes of a mighty mountain which lifted its great white summit high up in the clear air.
One spring through a sudden break up of the long winter the place became very dangerous, and he was warned of the poible coming of the avalanche. He laughed to scorn their timid fears for him. Had he not seen winters come and go for many years? No evil had ever befallen, the avalanche took generations to slide a few feet, it would not come in his day.
“But it is coming,” they said He only smiled.
One day on the heights above there was a sudden mighty cracking as of an explion, then a slip, a rush, a deafening roar. And today that peasant lies in his tomb with a thousand tons of debris as the moment of his foolish delay. He took no warning, his blood shall be upon him.
How often is this the picture of the soul-madness that will not obey when God says,
“Today.” Heb, 4:7.
“The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thess. 1:7, 87And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: (2 Thessalonians 1:7‑8).
