We might say, "Well, this fellow died without a warning." No, no, no. God never... You don't know what was in that man's heart; you don't know what's been a-going on in his life. See? God never brings any man to his death without first warning him about it, telling him, it's something, a preparation. God is sovereign, and He knocks at the heart of every man, giving him the opportunity to come. Now, He might warn away and turn it down, and shake his head to it and walk away, say, "Ah, it's just a funny feeling; I'll get over it." But anyhow, it was God, God speaking to him.

And God never even brings judgment upon the earth without first giving the people a warning. God never does nothing without declaring it first what He's going to do. And He gives people a choice, and you can--you can do right or wrong. See, God can never change His nature.
