A BREAK DOWN </B></div> <div> <B>A severe episode God used to get a person to think about forever is a break down. (Daniel 4:33) It does not matter if it is a peasant in a hovel or a king in a palace. If God has to, He will put His finger in their brain and stir it like chocolate milk. God will use a mental hospital to show an individual they are not in control of their lives. (Daniel 4:17) A break down! </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>II.

A BURIAL </B></div> <div> <B>A severe episode God used to get a person to think about forever is a burial. (Isaiah 6:1) Sometimes the Christian doesn't see the ETERNAL THRONE until the earthly throne is EMPTY! It is sad to say but caskets, hearses, graveyards and headstones make excellent old-fashioned altars. (Acts 5:11) A burial!</B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
