But don't give up. I'll never forget years back I had a dear old gentleman and we were talking about this very thing. And I could see the tears running down his cheek at the back of the room. He came up afterward and I asked him, "What's the matter?" And he said, "Les, I've got two grown sons who grew up in our local Sunday School class, but they never heard the Gospel. And they are out there in the world and are making big money and they are lost. If the Lord should come tonight, they'll be left behind." And I said, "Well, at least you can take comfort in the fact they haven't heard the Gospel. They're not in that category." He said, "No, but they'll be left behind." Well, he doesn't know, but here just a week or two ago, we got an e-mail from one of those boys and he had come to know the Lord and was studying our material. Oh, how I wish I could have let that weeping father know. So, one of the two have come in and maybe the second one will come too. So never give up. If you're parents out there and your kids are out in the world, don't ever give up. You just keep praying and praying and praying that the Lord will somehow open their hearts.

Let's first qualify, if I was misunderstood. I didn't say that but I might have been misunderstood. Come back with me quickly to Revelation chapter 7. We've always got to clarify first if there's a need. And we'll just start at verse 3.


Revelation 7:3

"Saying (the angels) Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till (time word. They need a segment of time. What are they going to do?) we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
