Near Judgment is No Joke

"And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law" (Genesis 19:14). "See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh.... for Our God is a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:25-29).

Judgment day is drawing near
As in the troubling days of Lot.
Mockers mock, they do not fear,
Or even give it second thought.

God, by prophets, clearly spoke,
Whom sinful scorners have refused.
The world thinks it's all a joke,
By which they merely are amused.

Eternity is very long,
And life at best is very brief.
How horrifying to be wrong,
Condemned by stubborn unbelief!

Stir again, Lord, our desire
To woo, to warn, and win the lost,
To thus escape the lake of fire,
Where unbelievers shall be tossed.
