What if someone said to you, “Deny Christ or I will kill you”? You could say, “Well, kill me. I am going to heaven.” But what if they said, “Deny Christ or I'll dismember your wife in front of your eyes”? What if they said, “Deny Christ or we will begin to mutilate your grandchildren”? You may respond, “I don't know; don't ask that question.” You don't have to worry about that time in the future, because Jesus said to settle it in your heart (don't worry) about what you will say. God will give you His words and grace to respond in that moment.

“Now wait a minute,” you may be saying. “This passage says I will be put in prison and put to death and yet not a hair of my head will perish?” That's exactly right. Jesus is saying in a different way what He was saying earlier: “And I say to you, My friends, don't fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will show you the One to fear: Fear Him who has authority to throw people into hell after death. Yes, I say to you, this is the One to fear” (Luke 12:4-5).

If you listen to many of the old African-American spirituals, you will hear a recurring theme of resurrection—death is not the end but only the beginning. You will also hear that death is not something to fear, but merely a passageway to enter into a deeper relationship with the Savior. It will be a victorious homegoing! Every man, woman, and child will have a “getting-up morning.” And like the spiritual says, “Fare ye well, fare ye well.” Will you fare well on that great getting-up morning? When you are no longer afraid to die, then you are ready to live.

There is a God in glory who reigns. And there is nothing the devil can ultimately do to you without His permission. You need to remember that, because if you don't, the devil will pull the wool over your eyes.

They Will Have Successfully Prophesied

Did the prophets fail? No, they succeeded. These prophets witnessed, and God received the glory. Revelation 11:13-14 says, “At that moment a violent earthquake took place, a tenth of the city fell, and 7,000 people were killed in the earthquake. The survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe has passed. Take note: the third woe is coming quickly!”

Those who are left behind will not die in the earthquake; instead, they will give glory to the God of heaven. This doesn't necessarily mean they will be saved. It just means they will recognize that what happened was a “God thing.” The same thing happened to Pharaoh and Saul. Indeed, the demons in hell will one day glorify God, and we know they will not be saved.

Years ago I preached at a revival meeting in a south Louisiana town. I fasted, prayed, wept, and examined my heart and my life to make certain that my heart was clean and my motives were pure before I went into the pulpit.
