During the course of April 14, 1912, the R.M.S. Titanic received six warnings concerning icebergs. She received the last warning only 40 minutes before her collision.
Six warnings! All of which were ignored! As a result, 1500 passengers and crew lost their lives in the waters of the cold North Atlantic.
The Bible says, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10). We’ve heard the warning; now what will we do? (Acts 24:25; 26:27–28; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Acts 22:16).
