The Event That Brings Us Joy
THE second coming of Christ is the one great event that is just before us. Christ and His coming is the one theme that should absorb the attention of thinking men in this time. There is an array of prophetic evidence of unmistakable meaning and of unmistakable clearness, and all this evidence points definitely and emphatically to this generation as the one that is to witness the coming of the Lord in the clouds of heaven. There are conditions of many kinds and descriptions in all parts of the world that are causing the stoutest hearts to quail in fear. Old controversies are arising, new ones are springing up, and in their commingling they produce conditions that fill the minds of men, not only with uncertainties, but with terrors. The Master has forewarned us that conditions in the earth would be such at the time of His coming that men's hearts would be failing them for fear as they were looking after those things that were coming upon the earth. We are in that time, and these conditions will grow worse and worse until the climax of wickedness is met by the great climax of righteousness when Christ comes. If you would have the terrors that are inspired by these times in which we live replaced by the delights that are too full of joy to be described, then turn to God's word. Learn to rest upon its rich promises, and gain the soul-satisfying experiences that come into the heart through the divine opening of the mind to the light of prophetic truth.
