He Is Near
WHEN speaking to his disciples of his return to this earth, the Saviour mentioned certain signs which would mark the time when “he is near, even at the doors.” These signs are now in the past. The many specifications which determine this to be the last generation have been, or are being, fulfilled, and it is certain that we are now in the very last of the last days. How solemn and how comforting is the thought! The Lord’s word is pledged that he will bring the great controversy to an end in this generation. The heart-sickening record of sin of every kind will not continue much longer. The time is just at hand when there will be a change in God’s dealing with the inhabitants of this world. Sin has become so defiant, and the disregard for God’s law has become so pronounced, that the character of God will be compromised unless he shall soon arise to vindicate his authority. All these things indicate that the coming of the Saviour is near. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.”
