<div class="SSN_title">"IN THE FINAL END"</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Often life seems unfair, many good people suffer, many wicked people prosper. Often the forces of evil seem stronger than the forces of good. People seem to get by with evil. It's the final score that counts.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. BECAUSE SENTENCE AGAINST AN EVIL WORK IS NOT EXECUTED SPEEDILY, THIS LEADS THE WICKED TO FATAL MISTAKES.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. They think that God doesn't know. "Is their knowledge in the Most High?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Man seeks to be so clever in hiding his guilt.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He creates his cover alibis.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He covers his tracks.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. He hides the evidence.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">d. He isn't caught, he assumes no one saw him - fatal mistake.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He that created the eye, can He not see?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. David.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. He thinks that God doesn't care.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They mistake the long-suffering of God as approval.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. They feel God is too remote to notice.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. God to them is an impersonal force, not a caring Father.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Jesus said, "He knows the number of the hairs on your head."</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Far from being remote or uncaring, He knows meaningless trivia.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Your every sin grieves the heart of your loving Father.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. They think that God won't judge.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They discard the warnings of God's Word of the judgment to come and create plausible rationales.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. How could a God of love destroy the world?</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. He could send a flood.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. How could a God of love send a man to hell forever?</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. If you even mention hell from the pulpit your mail bag will be full of complaining letters of accusations of hell fire and brimstone.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Do you know what one of those hell fire brimstone preachers said? <a onClick="return mV('Mar',9,43);">Mark 9:43</a>.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. "Their hearts are fully set to do evil."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Men give themselves over to a life of sin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. It becomes a way of life for them.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. No fear of God in their hearts.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Their conscience is seared with a hot iron.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. "I KNOW IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THEM THAT FEAR GOD."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The future is filled with uncertainty.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Survival has become big business in the U.S.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. People see a breakdown coming in our society.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Total economic collapse.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Devastating earthquake.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. I know it shall be well with them that fear God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The fear of God is the wise choice.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. What is it to fear the Lord?</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">"The fear of the Lord is to depart from evil."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. I know it will not be well for the wicked.</div>
