The Reason: A World in Rebellion

The Reason.—Listen, pilgrim, we will tell thee. The world is in rebellion against its rightful Ruler—the Author of its being and life. The sad consequences of that rebellion are rapidly nearing their climax. The world is sick with sin, and refuses the divine remedy of the great Physician. Dissolution is inevitable, and soon to come. The earth is waxed “old as doth a garment; and as a vesture” shall God “fold them up and they shall be changed.” The despairing hopefulness of wasting disease is manifest in the delusive optimists’ cry of “peace and safety,” but the great Authority diagnoses otherwise. The present age is nearing its end.
