The Only Hope in the Coming Storm

When a storm is brewing it can be spotted by people. Severe weather alerts are issued by the
weather bureau. Tracking the storm is done by trained meteorologists so that people will not be taken by surprise. It is not the fault of the meteorologist if people are harmed, and don’t get out of the way of the path of the storm.
A. God always promises and provides protection for His Sheep.
1. God promised through Zechariah that in the last days, he would be a protector of His people.
For I, says the LORD, “will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her
midst.” Zechariah 2:5
2. Likewise Isaiah testifies about Jehovah God: For You have been a strength to the poor, A
strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the
blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. Isaiah 25:4
B. These promises are meant to comfort us beforehand. C. All the prophets warn of a great storm coming in the final days, which will beat against God’s wall of protection with all of its fury!
D. Indeed, Jesus says this coming storm will be so frightful and overwhelming, people's hearts will fail them as they see it developing. And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts
failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luke 21:26
