Subject: ...death flees from them |
Bible Note: "The falling of the mountain would grind them to powder, and they wish for that: the descent of the hill upon them would bury them in a deep abyss, and they would rather be immured in the bowels of the earth for ever than have to look upon the face of the Great Judge. They ask to be crushed outright, or to be buried alive sooner than to feel the punishment of their sins. Then shall be fulfilled the word of the Lord by His servant John, 'And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them' (Revelation 9:6). Ah, sirs, extinction is a boon too great to be permitted to the ungodly. Earth will have no bowels of compassion for the men who polluted her and rejected her Lord. The mountains will reply, 'We fall at God's bidding, not at the petition of His enemies,' and the hills in their stolid silence will answer, 'We cannot, and we would not if we could, conceal you from the justice which you yourselves willfully provoked.' No, there shall be no refuge for them, no annihilation into which they can fly: the very hope of it were heaven to the damned... Their cry for extinction shall be in vain." --Charles H. Spurgeon |
