Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Behold, a day belonging to the Lord is approaching when what has been gathered as spoil will be divided right in the midst of its owner. That division will fall upon personal possessions, stripping them from the one who held them and distributing them where he no longer controls them. The prospect therefore presses with urgency to put wealth to work for God at once, without waiting for a more convenient season. Delay until circumstances change is folly, for present means are to be employed now in support of His cause before that coming day renders such use impossible.
