To Him Jesus Christ had referred as the “Prince of this world,” as the
“Comforter” Who will “reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and
of judgment,” as the “Spirit of Truth” Who “will guide you into all
truth,” Who “shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear,
that shall He speak,” as the “Lord of the Vineyard,” and as the “Son of
Man” Who “shall come in the glory of His Father” “in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory,” with “all the holy angels” about Him, and
“all nations” gathered before His throne. To Him the Author of the
Apocalypse had alluded as the “Glory of God,” as “Alpha and Omega,” “the
Beginning and the End,” “the First and the Last.” Identifying His
Revelation with the “third woe,” he, moreover, had extolled His Law as “a
new heaven and a new earth,” as the “Tabernacle of God,” as the “Holy
City,” as the “New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband.” To His Day Jesus Christ Himself had
referred as “the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne
of His glory.” To the hour of His advent St. Paul had alluded as the hour
of the “last trump,” the “trump of God,” whilst St. Peter had spoken of it
as the “Day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.” His Day he, furthermore,
had described as “the times of refreshing,” “the times of restitution of
all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy Prophets
since the world began.”
