His Coming Should Be the Theme
Every Christian nation should be stirred to the heart with the great problem of carrying a knowledge of Christ to the world, but the message should not be confined to the events of the past and the circumstances surrounding the first advent. The hope of meeting Him in the near future, attended by all the myriads of holy angels, is a wonderful part of the message that we bear to the heathen nations of earth. Signs all foretell that the coming of Christ is literally at our door. But our act of spreading this gospel does not usher in the kingdom of God, in any other sense than it removes the obstacles that prevent His appearing until all have been warned. When this is done, He will come, and will not tarry. "Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him." Rev. 1:7.
