When it comes to the End Times, Jesus doesn't want us to be unaware of what He intends to be accomplished through all the of the wrath and terror that follows. God has demonstrated a consistent prophetic pattern throughout history whenever His judgments were tangibly demonstrated. First, a prophetic warning was provided. Second, a means of escape is provided. And finally, judgment falls after everyone who would receive mercy has.

1. God always provides a prophetic warning in anticipation of judgment.
2. God always provides a means of escape from the judgment He has plainly and publicly warned us about.
3. God only judges after every possible provision of mercy has been rejected.
