A warning is not an insult. It is a mercy. When Yahweh raises His voice to His people, it is because He would rather correct than destroy, and the whole of Scripture testifies that He never brings judgment without first sending a word.

A warning is not an insult. It is a mercy. When Yahweh raises His voice to His people, it is because He would rather correct than destroy, and the whole of Scripture testifies that He never brings judgment without first sending a word. Amos says it plainly: surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Read through the Law, the Prophets, the Gospels, and the letters, and you will find that certain warnings return again and again, like a watchman circling the same walls. This lesson gathers seven of the greatest: the warning against forgetting Yahweh in prosperity, against walking in the ways of the nations, against false prophets, against adding to or taking from the Word, against the leaven of hypocrisy, against sleeping while the day approaches, and against hardening the heart when He speaks. Bring your Bible and read each passage as we come to it, for these warnings were not written for the people of one age only. They were written for us, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Hear them as mercy, and they will keep your feet from the pit.
