Explanation:

Jonathan Edwards was a famous preacher and his sermon "Sinners in the hands of an angry God" is popular for its messages and theatrics.

He makes urgent clarion calls for repentance from sinners otherwise there would be literally hell to pay. He underlined his urgency by reminding them that there was no time. If they wanted to repent, now was the right time.
