Edwards shifts the focus of his sermon towards the end of "Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God." Describe it.

Beginning
with the words "and now you have an extraordinary opportunity..." Edwards indeed
shifts the focus from impressing upon his audience the likelihood of their eternal condemnation
to what he really came to Enfield, CT to do that day: win new converts and win back those who
have let their faith slide. Edwards's efforts to reinvigorate the Puritan faith required him to
travel throughout New England and deliver fiery sermons as a visiting minister.In this sermon,
the bulk of his remarks that day was a reminder of the omnipotence and omniscience of God and
the horrors an eternity in Hell would bring to those unfortunate souls who failed to renounce
their sinful ways. As he nears the end of his sermon, he has to make his listeners believe that
there is something they can do to reverse their path, and so he urges people to act quickly to
save themselves.
