There WILL come a time when the word of the Lord will NO longer be preached. The Bible warns us, in that it says, "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I WILL send a famine through the land not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord." (Amos 8:11). He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches...." (Rev. 2:7; 2:11; 2:17; 2:29; 3:6; 3:13; 3:22; 13:9,NIV).
