✦ MADE SIMPLE

This is what God says: Look, waters are rising up from the north, and they're going to become a massive flood that will completely overwhelm the land and everything in it — the cities and everyone living there. When it happens, people will cry out in terror, and everyone in the land will be screaming.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes God's warnings about coming judgment are meant to wake us up before it's too late.
