A serious warning of the pattern of warnings and judgments that God gives to a person, a church, or a nation before it is finally overtaken. Yet even in the end, to be left completely defenseless for a moment is a mercy if it shows you that you don't want to be left without the presence and protection of God for eternity. There is a serious humbling coming to those who don't take God serious. Heed the warning, repent, and get into position at the feet of Jesus. There is protection in His presence.
