Some of the key takeaways from the passage include that there will be a time of trouble unlike anything before it, Michael (Jesus Christ) standing up will signal the beginning of this time of trouble, when the temple is filled with smoke it will be too late to pray or repent, and God appeals for people to seek Him while there is still time.

When Michael (Jesus Christ) stands up, it will be the signal for the time of trouble to begin that will be worse than anything since nations have existed. His standing up will also indicate that His spirit will no longer strive with humanity and the door of mercy will close.

When the temple is filled with smoke, it will mean that the time of praying and repenting is over. No one will be able to enter the temple, representing that it will be too late for salvation. The seven plagues of the seven angels will then be poured out upon the earth.

This is yet another CD Brooks sermon titled, Close of Probation: When It Will Be Too Late
To Repent – CD Brooks Sermon Transcript. It was originally called BLOODY WATER,
BOILS, AND BLISTERS (Breath of Life Telecast series)

Our subject tonight, even the title is awesome: “Bloody Water, Boils, and Blisters.” Ladies
and Gentlemen, if that sounds terrible, it’s because it is. You know, there are so many
things in the Bible that many have never heard before, but they’ve been there all the time.
When you begin to study the Word of God and find these things, it is edifying and it is also
very sobering.

I want to begin with a text of Scripture, and I would suggest that you write these things
down. Look at them in your own Bible. Get into the habit of studying the Word, and if you
do that the Lord will lead you. Pray before you study. Invite the Holy Spirit to guide you
for we all need guidance. Would you say Amen?

In Daniel 12:1 the Bible says, “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great Prince
which standeth for the children of Thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as
never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time Thy people
shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”

Now, that’s enough to sober us tonight, wouldn’t you say? When you think of the great
catastrophes that have shaken this world, when you think of the tragedy and destruction
even in your own lifetime, you know there have been some awful times of trouble on
earth. Yet the Bible says that a time is coming, a time of trouble such as never was since
there was a nation, even to that same time.

The Bible says that right before that time,


Michael will stand up. I pronounce His name
Mich-a-el so you’ll know who Michael is. The
latter part of that word, el, is the Hebrew for
God, Elohim (Bethel means house of God).
Michael means “One who is as God.” This is a
reference to none other than Jesus Christ. He is
called the great Prince. Would you say Amen? It
says He’s going to stand up. Christ is not going to
wait forever. For we read last night in Genesis
6:3, “My Spirit will not always strive with man.” CD Brooks preaching

Though God is not willing that any should perish

1/4
but that all should come unto repentance, the day is going to come when He will stand up.
That will be the signal for a time of trouble to begin such as never was, since there was a
nation.

The prophet Isaiah also caught a vision of this end time. In Isaiah 13:9 the Bible says,
“Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the
land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.” Tonight, men sin as if
there’s no such thing as a judgment. They shake their fists in the face of God and they
laugh at the cross. And though right now God offers salvation, though right now Jesus is
tenderly calling, one day, the prophet says, Christ is going to stand up.

Let’s turn over to the book of Revelation 15 and I want you to notice with me the last verse
of that chapter. Revelation 15:8: “And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of
God and from His power; and no one was able to enter the temple until the seven plagues
of the seven angels were finished.”

The Bible says the temple was filled with smoke. Well, what temple is the prophet John
talking about? Some buildings here on earth? In Revelation 11:19 the Bible says, “And the
temple of God which is in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in
His temple, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an
earthquake and a great hailstorm.”

“And the temple of God was opened in heaven”–where? John says, “the temple of God
was opened in heaven.” And in chapter 15:8 John says that “the temple was filled with
smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one was able to enter the temple
until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.” Now, that ought to cause you
some concern. But what does it mean, “no man can enter it”? What man can enter heaven
anyhow?

I want to tell you something about the temple in heaven. The earthly tabernacle was an
earthly copy or type of the temple of God in heaven. There was a place in the earthly
tabernacle and the temple called the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies. In the Most
Holy Place was a single piece of furniture called the Ark of the Covenant: A chest, overlaid
with gold, with a lid of solid gold called the mercy seat, and angels on either end. Between
these angels, over the mercy seat, was the brilliant Shekinah Glory and bright light
symbolizing the very presence of God. And all of this typified what’s in heaven.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bible says in heaven there is the Ark of the Testament; but
instead of golden angels, the covering cherubim stand; and instead of the brilliant light,
the Shekinah Glory, the very God of heaven and earth sits on His throne.

Well, how can any man enter the temple of God in heaven? I want to tell you how. By
faith! Jesus said, “If any man sins he’s got an Advocate with the Father” (I John 2:1).
That’s why the Bible says in Hebrews 4:16, “Let us come boldly to the throne of grace that
we might find mercy and grace to help in time of need.” Would you say Amen?

2/4
It doesn’t mean that you’re going to get on a rocket and go to glory! It means that when a
Christian falls down on his knees and cries out, “Lord, have mercy,” it is as though he
were ushered right into the throne room of God by faith. God gives you His personal
attention. And seated on the right hand of the throne of the Father we have an advocate,
Jesus Christ the righteous, pleading for you. Whenever justice says that sinner deserves to
die, Jesus holds up His nailed scarred hands and says, “Father, that’s one of My children.
He’s asking in My name. I’ve already paid the price so let’s give him mercy and grace!”

Tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen, I can get on my knees and go into the very presence of
God by faith, but the time is going to come when folks will no longer be able to do that.
The day is going to come when praying time will be over. “The temple of God was filled
with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power and no man was able to enter into
the temple.”

Praying time is over. The door of mercy is closed. If there’s a doubt in your mind that that
day will ever come, let me read to you from Revelation 22:11. The Bible says, “He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” Ladies and
Gentlemen, when that day comes, Jesus is going to close probation. No more prayers
heard now. If you haven’t repented, too late to repent. No hope now. No more mercy.

The very next verse says, “Behold, I come quickly.” That’s why if you plan to pray, do it
now. If you plan to obey, do it now. There are folks who come up and say, “Oh, I enjoy
your sermons,” but a sermon without reformation isn’t worth a dime. We’re running out
of time.

Before us is a time of trouble such as never before. Before we go to the screen, I want to
read to you an appeal from the book of Zephaniah 2:1-3:
Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; before the decree
bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon
you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you. Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of
the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may
be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger (Zephaniah 2:1-3).

God appeals to you tonight, seek ye the Lord. Seek Him while there is yet time, for when
He stands up and the temple is filled with smoke, it’s too late. For the next verse after
Revelation 15:8 is the first verse in chapter 16. And the Bible says, “And I heard a great
voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, ‘Go your ways, and pour out the vials of
the wrath of God upon the earth.’”

Friends, I’ve made up my mind tonight, come what may, I’m going to walk with the Lord.
I’ve made up my mind. If my friends turn their backs on me, I’m going to walk with the
Lord. I’m going to pray now while it’s still praying time. How about you? I’m going to
come, surrender fully to Christ, and decide to do His will before it’s eternally too late. How
about you? That’s a beautiful artist’s impression of what the new earth is going to be like.
I’ve made up my mind, by God’s grace, that I’m going to be there. How about you?

3/4
The Bible says, “Blessed are they that do His commandments that they may have a right
to the tree of life and enter in through the gates into the city.” So let’s decide tonight that
we’re going all the way with Jesus. What do you say? If tonight you want grace and power
to follow Jesus and be saved in His kingdom, I want you to stand up quickly and let God
know.

O, blessed Lord. What a precious hope is ours! What joy is just before us! Help us not be
afraid of the time of trouble soon to come. Thank You for the promise of Your word
tonight that You will watch over Your people on that day. And so the burden on our hearts
tonight, Lord, is that we would be Your people.

The burden on our hearts tonight is that we would be right with You. We’re praying for
grace. We’re praying for power. We’re praying for courage to follow You and to do all that
You would have us do. And at last, save us in Your kingdom, for we ask it in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
