And hence, let sinners in general take warning; suppose you should live all your days in this world without a storm, I mean, without any outward trouble, yet remember, there will be a stormy day, the day of the great rain of the strength of God will come, he will rain down vengeance upon all the ungodly in that day; Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and ⟨p. 485⟩an horrible tempest in that day (Psal. 11.6.) Therefore see that you have a refuge against that day, when many shall (as it is said, Rev. 6.) Call to the rocks, hide us, and to the mountains, fall upon us, cover us from the presence of him that sits on the Throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. Although we should have prosperity or fair weather as long as we live in this world, yet there is a day of wrath coming; be not then to seek of a hiding place, which is only to be had in and by Jesus Christ; He is the man chiefly intended by the Prophet (Isa. 32.2.) That shall be a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest. If you are without him in that day, you stand naked to the wrath of God, and that will quickly soak into you, or sink you for ever.
