The Third Angel's Message is evidently a warning message, and applies to our time. See Rev. xiv. 9. "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God," &c. How dreadful, how terrible, will be the fulfillment of this sentence, which will not even be the full and final cup of the sinner and the ungodly; yet the first part of the threatened wrath of a long-suffering, offended God, when the day of grace is past, will be more than unholy man can endure, for they will all be cut down by the seven last plagues, and be dung upon the ground. At the giving of the law, even Moses, who must have been a man of stern resolution, and admirable firmness, said, "I exceedingly fear and quake." What will be our condition when "our God shall come," (to vindicate his down-trodden law,) when his thundering voice shall be heard, for "he shall not keep silence," when "a fire shall devour before him," and when "it shall be very tempestuous round about him?" As it is evident from the Scriptures of truth that the 2300 days (years) of Dan. viii, 14 are fulfilled, and terminated in 1844, so it is also clear that we are in the judgment period brought to view in Rev. xiv, 7, and corresponds, doubtless, with what is spoken by the prophet Malachi, [chap. iii, 18.] "Then (when? when he will come near to us in judgment) shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." The very work that is now going forward throughout the length and breadth of the land, ought to inspire an earnest inquiry in every mind, What means all this strange work? The sifting has commenced, it will be consummated in our days. J. Dorcas.
