Facing Eternity

"Give me more laudanum, that I may not think of eternity and what is to come." So spake Mirabeau, the infidel who had blasphemed God throughout his life and sneered at eternal things. Facing death and the eternity that lies beyond it, his flimsy armor failed. The "fearful looking for of judgment," Heb. 10:2727But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. (Hebrews 10:27), which God's Word declares to be the doom of all who are His "adversaries," seized hold of the great blasphemer. Infidelity makes a fine show for the platform, but what a vain refuge in the hour of death!
