Before retiring for the evening, he spent a little time on deck simply admiring the beauty of the evening. He remarked to one of his crew that it was the finest weather he had seen in that climate.<br \/>\nThe horizon was perfectly clear\u2009\u2014\u2009not a cloud in the sky. There was nothing visible above deck to suggest that the weather might soon change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Warning<\/strong><br \/>\nGoing below to his cabin, the captain relaxed on his couch. A minute or two later, glancing at a barometer hanging nearby, he noticed that the mercury appeared to be falling.<br \/>\nOrdinarily, he wouldn\u2019t have thought of looking at the barometer while resting. He rubbed his eyes, imagining he was deceived. Still the mercury appeared to fall. He got up and walked over to the instrument and discovered that the mercury was indeed visibly falling.<br \/>\nHe went back on deck, but the weather was as lovely as before. Returning to his cabin, he shook the barometer, but the descent still continued. Such a rapid and unusual fall convinced him that something serious was about to happen.<br \/>\nGoing back on deck, he told his crew of his discovery. They protested that with a sea and a sky so clear and so beautiful no storm was coming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Response<\/strong><br \/>\nBut Captain Oldrey firmly disagreed. The falling barometer indicated a storm, and it was his urgent duty to prepare for one. He ordered everything to be made secure, the topsails to be struck, and the deck to be cleared.<br \/>\nNight fell with the crew still working to make the ship gale-ready. Captain Oldrey didn\u2019t relax until all preparation for the worst was done to his satisfaction. An hour or two elapsed, and his mind was at rest knowing that his ship was as ready as possible for whatever might come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Storm<\/strong><br \/>\nSuddenly the storm struck and reached its peak almost at once. The wind blew so furiously that the sea could not rise into waves but became one vast plain of foam, on which the ship was rapidly driven before the wind. By God\u2019s mercy, the ship and all on board survived the storm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Ultimate Storm<\/strong><br \/>\nGod\u2019s Word, the Bible, is like a barometer which warns of a coming storm. That storm of God\u2019s wrath and judgment is soon going to fall on this world.<br \/>\nScoffers scoff and mockers mock! They say, <strong>\u201cWhere is the promise of His coming?\u201d<\/strong> (2 Peter 3:4). To them the sky is clear\u2009\u2014\u2009there see no storm coming. They think that all will go on as it has gone on. They have no fear. They close their eyes to the knowledge of the many upheavals which this earth has already experienced. They do not recognize the witness of the flood which once overwhelmed this world. They harden their hearts, and, in their folly, they go on\u2009\u2014\u2009deceiving others and being deceived.<br \/>\nBut God\u2019s barometer gives us a plain warning. Hear its solemn declaration: <strong>\u201cBecause there is wrath, beware lest He take thee away with His stroke\u201d<\/strong> (Job 36:18).<br \/>\nNow is your time to escape. Now is your only time to prepare. Tomorrow may be too late.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cHumble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God\u201d<\/strong> (1 Peter 5:6).<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cBelieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved\u201d<\/strong> (Acts 16:31).<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cWhoso putteth His trust in the Lord shall be safe\u201d<\/strong> (Proverbs 29:25).<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cHow shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?\u201d<\/strong> (Hebrews 2:3).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bibletruthpublishers.com\/gospel-tract-storm-warning-full-color-tract-warning-story-dont-delay-sea\/pd1714\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#0e0e0e;background-color:#c4551f;border-color:#9d4419;border-radius:8px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#0e0e0e;padding:7px 22px;font-size:17px;line-height:26px;border-color:#d68863;border-radius:8px;text-shadow:none\"><i class=\"sui sui-shopping-cart\" style=\"font-size:17px;color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i> Purchase or Free Printable Version<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Send the text of this tract to a friend today. ne evening, many years ago, before the days of radio, Captain Oldrey and the crew of his ship, the Hyacinth, were sailing toward Barbados, a tropical island on the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea.
