"Repent Ye: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand"
By Mrs. D. W. Myers
"Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt. 3: 2. This was the cry of the great prophet John the Baptist. The cry is daily going out again, not only from one man, but from hundreds and thousands of men and women in every land, through publications printed in almost every tongue and distributed throughout the world. The cry is universal. Jews and Gentiles both are looking for the coming of the Messiah. The Jews of course are thinking this is the first advent, while Christians are waiting for His second coming, for the millennial day, the Sabbath of the Lord. Just think, Jesus is really coming again, and soon! Are you looking for Him? Are you waiting for the Son of God to come and claim you as His own, to take you home above, free from all earthly care and worry, to be at rest? There we will meet our loved ones gone before us whose name is "found written in the Book of Life," and be with God our Father. O, how sweet is the thought that our Saviour, our Redeemer, He who has bought us with the price of His blood, will soon come; and may we be found worthy, also ready, waiting for His coming, even as the five wise virgins were waiting, with lamps burning, and plenty of oil (faith and good deeds), for the Bridegroom. This is the midnight cry: "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!" The night is far spent, the morning cometh. Let us not slumber in vice and sin. Let us be sober, and look up; for our Redemption draweth nigh. "Surely I come quickly." "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." Rev. 22: 20. Jesus is coming! The promise is true.
Who are the faithful, the waiting, the few
Watching and waiting, prepared for review?
Jesus is coming again!
Shout the glad tiding over mountain and plain,
"Jesus is coming again!"
