THE LORD IS COMING.

By Albert Weeks

The Lord is coming. He is coming back to this earth. He is coming soon, very soon.
We know that this is true because of the fulfilment of many prophecies reaching to that great event. We know it because of the instruction our Saviour gave in answer to the question, “What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” We have seen the signs fulfilled, and have believed; and now we accept the injunction, “Know that he [margin] is near, even at the doors.”
His coming will be in glory. His mission of humility is past. He comes no more as “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” This time he is not to be cradled in a manger. But he comes in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that obey not the gospel. We behold a royal title, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” He reigns supreme. “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.” Dear Lord, prepare us for an eternal inheritance where thou dost reign.
