Signs of the Coming Day
By T.
Iowa has had some nineteen cyclones and electric storms of greater or less severity during the present summer. New York has had some remarkable electric storms. There have been death-dealing storms in Wisconsin, Kansas, Texas and elsewhere. Numerous earthquakes have abounded, and the daily reports tell of various disturbances in nature in all parts of the world. The Word of the Lord says: "I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come." Joel 2:30, 31. Thus do we see that God clearly foretells that before the "great and the terrible day of the Lord" there will be most remarkable disturbances in nature. There will be "wonders in the heavens and in the earth." We have reached the beginnings of these things, and you should understand fully what they mean. "The great and the terrible day of the Lord" is right at hand. But it has no terrors to the one who truly knows the Lord. That great day has terrors for those only who persistently cling to their life of sin—to the deceptions of sinful pleasures. T.
