Nature and Revelation: Showing the Present Condition of the Churches, and the Chance Now to Come Upon the World, by the Second Advent, in Spirit, of the Messiah, with Interpretations of Prophecies in Daniel, and the Book of Revelation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Nature and Revelation: Showing the Present Condition of the Churches, and the Chance Now to Come Upon the World, by the Second Advent, in Spirit, of the Messiah, With Interpretations of Prophecies in Daniel, and the Book of Revelation

Gibbon's Decline and Fall, vol. 6, page 33. 1 Ibid., pages 33 and 34.

The important changes, at this season, to take place, will not be in a few things, nor for a brief time but will be the beginning Of a new era, and will separate the future from the past, as distinctly as the first advent of our Saviour in the flesh. Nor may this new condition of affairs be consummated without commotion, and tumult, and fear, and suffering. For the false spiritual dynasties, which have usurped their standing in heaven, are to pass away with a great noise; the elements of the pre sent social system will melt with the fervent heat Of wickedness; and the nations Of the earth will be convulsed and struck against each other, and consumed by their own works.

How preposterous is it for any one to believe that God takes no notice of what is done on earth; or that men, nations, or churches, can really prosper in iniquity! When we flatter ourselves that peace and safety are at hand, sudden destruction comes upon us. No law of God can be violated with impunity. It is impossible! And when men think that they deceive God, they cheat only their own souls. When they least expect it, they are exposed, and driven from every Shelter and evasion they are put to open shame, in the presence of an assembled universe, and their very names branded with eternal infamy and abhorrence.
