“THIS IS OUR GOD.”

In the day of our Lord’s appearing it will be said, “Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us; this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” Isa. 25:9. These words, however, will be spoken only by those who know the Lord. There will be an emphasis on “this” and “our”: “Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us.” For just before this the people who know not God—whether in the world or in the church—will have professed allegiance to another, even to him who “is transformed into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14), and whose steadfast aim is to put himself before men in the place of God. It is not enough to know that Christ is coming; we must also be acquainted with him, so that we may be able to recognize him when he comes.—Present Truth.
