Warnings!

By Uriah Smith

WE have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,—2 PETER i, 19.
“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”
“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”
“For behold the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall no more cover her slain.”
“Now, therefore, be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.”
“Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people; let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.”
“For the indignation of the Lord is upon ALL NATIONS, and his fury upon ALL their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.”
“And all the hosts of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their hosts shall fall down, as a leaf falleth off from the vine, and as the falling fig from the fig-tree.”
“For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion.” “For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”
“Therefore, wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured by the fire of my jealousy.”
“A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will gather them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.”
“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.”
“And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.”
“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.”
“For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble.”
“And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”
“Whosoever shall fall upon this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder.”—N. Y. Independent.
Shall we set down the Independent as an “Advent” paper! How else can we account for the appearance in its columns, without note or comment, of the above compilation of texts, as scriptures containing warnings applicable to the present time? U. S.
