A Message of Preparation.
By Editor
We appeal to our readers to read the cogent appeal in "A Message of Preparation," on another page. Do not its statements of conditions tally with the great facts before us? Is there not need of a God-ordained, God-inspired message of preparation? The Lord sent one through Noah before the Deluge. He sent one by Moses to Egypt before the plagues upon that people. Nineveh was warned. Christ's first advent was heralded. John the Baptist, a voice crying for God in the wilderness, heralded our Lord's first advent, and warned the Jewish people. Just as truly, reader, is God sending to His professed people and the world a message of preparation for the last days. "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand." Joel 2:1. "The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?" See Amos 3:7, 8. "Fear God, and give Him glory; for the hour of His judgment is come; and worship Him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters." Rev. 14:6, 7.
