Fire Evacuation
Out in California close to Yosemite National Park there have
been evacuations of over 1,500 people because of wildfires approaching their
homes (http://www.techtimes.com/articles/13407/20140819/wildfires-near-yosemite-national-park-forces-evacuation-of-1-500-people.htm).
I can recall many reports over the years where people react differently to
approaching wildfires. Some of them refuse to leave their homes, while others
value their lives much more than their homes and the contents therein. It is
understandable why people want to get out of the way before they are consumed
by the flames. When the orders are given to evacuate due to the flames, most
people want out of the way of the blaze.
Did you know there is coming a fire that people will not be
able to evacuate from? We are told that Hell is a place of fire: its fire never
ends (Mt. 25:41), its fire is unquenchable (Mk. 9:43) and this lake of fire is
reserved for those whose name is not in the book of life (Rev. 20:15). Once
people realize their fiery fate it will be too late to evacuate the agony that
awaits them in Hell.
The residents of California who evacuated their homes
recognized the urgent action needed to avoid the flames. Unfortunately there
are many people today who don’t take the same measures to avoid their collision
course with Hell. Now is the time to evacuate your habitation if you are living
for the world. Once judgment begins, it will be too late. Have you already put
your evacuation plan into action?
