God’s Strange Work in the Earth

By Eliza H. Morton

ELIZA H. MORTON

“For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.” Isa. 28:21.

The following from Talmage is a graphic description of what he saw from the summit of a high mountain. It has its lesson:—

“On the top of the mountain was a crown of flashing gold, while all beneath was rolling, writhing, contorting cloud. But after a while the arrows of light shot from heaven began to make the glooms of the valley strike tent. The fogs were lifted and dashed and hurled. The mists went scurrying up and down like horsemen in wild retreat. Then the whole valley became one grand illumination; and there were horses of fire and thrones of fire and chariots of fire and the flapping wings of angels of fire. Gradually, without sound of trumpet or roll of wheel, they moved off.”

This pen picture well represents the going forth of the agencies God uses in his last work for fallen man. Great moral darkness and dense fogs of skepticism and wickedness hang over this earth. The armies of heaven are astir while Satan is marshaling his unseen host for battle. Above all and through all, the light of the everlasting gospel is shining, and soon there will be great changes. The clouds will lift, the heavens will depart, the graves will be opened, and shining beings will be caught up to meet shining beings in the air, and together they will rise and march through a gleaming corridor of glory straight up to the throne of God.

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.” Rev. 15:2.
