NOTE.—Before the apostles received the baptism of the Spirit in the early rain on the day of Pentecost, they all “continued with one accord in prayer and supplication.” Acts 1:14. During this time they confessed their faults, put away their differences, ceased their selfish ambitions and contentions for place and power, so that when the time for the outpouring came, “they were all _with one accord_ in one place,” ready for its reception. To be prepared for the final outpouring of the Spirit, all sin and selfish ambition must again be put away, and a like work of grace wrought upon the hearts of God’s people. 11. How is the closing work of the gospel under the outpouring of the Spirit described by the revelator? “After these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and _the earth was lightened with his glory_.” Rev. 18:1. 12. What does this angel say? “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, _Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen_, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Verse 2. NOTE.—The religious world will then be in much the same condition as was the Jewish nation after it had rejected Christ at His first advent. See 2 Tim. 3:1-5. 13. What did Peter on the day of Pentecost tell his hearers to do? “And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, _Save yourselves from this untoward generation_.” Acts 2:40. 14. What similar call and appeal will be made under the final outpouring of the Spirit? “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, _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.” Rev. 18:4, 5. NOTES.—A great work will be accomplished in a short time under the final outpouring of the Spirit. Many voices all over the earth will sound the warning cry. Signs and wonders will be wrought by the believers, and, as at Pentecost, thousands will be converted in a day. Those who fail to heed this final gospel call, like the unbelieving Jews, will be doomed to destruction. The seven last plagues will overtake them, as war, famine, death, and destruction overtook the Jews, who, not believing in Christ, failed to heed His call to flee, and shut themselves up in Jerusalem to their doom. Those who heed the call, and separate themselves from sin and from sinners, will be saved. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Come, Holy Spirit, come, Let Thy bright beams arise, Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. Convince us all of sin, Then lead to Jesus’ blood, And to our wondering view reveal The mercies of our God.
