Question

Why is there an immediacy to Edwards's sermon 'Sinners in the Hands of an

Angry God?'
1 He believed that you could not understand the
Second Great Awakening without listening to his
sermon.
2 He was being paid for each person he converted to
Christianity
3 He believes that the judgement of heaven is near.
4 He believes that if you don't repent for your sins,
you will never understand his sermon.

Answer 1

Answer: 3 He believes that the judgement of heaven is near.

From Oxford Languages, immediacy means "the quality of bringing one into direct and instant involvement with something, giving rise to a sense of urgency or excitement." (languages.oup.com)

The only option in the list that talks about doing something quickly or urgently is option 3, hence our answer.

Have a nice day!

Note: I myself am not religious, this is simply relating to Edwards's sermon

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
