The Gospel Day; Or, the Light of Christianity

By reading the whole of this chapter you will learn that this horn of
salvation, this deliverer, was the child Christ Jesus. This deliverer was
to appear in that day. The most simple will at once understand that the
day foreseen and foretold by the holy seers was the Christian
dispensation, or the day of “grace and truth.”
The prophet again exclaims: “And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I
will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned
away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust,
and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he
also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of
the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord.”
Isa. 12:1-4. “In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and
glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for
them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that
is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called
holy.” Isa. 4:2, 3.
The prophet Joel in contemplation of that day of great blessings says:
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down
new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah
shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of
the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.” Joel 3:18.
Zechariah in beholding this fountain exclaims: “In that day there shall be
a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of
Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.” Zech. 13:1.
Wonderful Fountain of cleansing,
The prophet did foresee,
Deep Fountain of peace and glory
Opened to all shall be.
The prophet again in beholding the glory and purity of that day says: “In
that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE
LORD.” Zech. 14:20.
The prophet did foretell a day,
Through which extends a holy way,
Where walk the ransomed of the Lord,
Made pure in heart, through Jesus’ blood.
Another man of God is permitted to look down through the darkness and see
the glory of this day of cleansing. “But who may abide the day of his
coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s
fire, and like fullers’ soap: and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier
of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold
and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in
righteousness.” Mal. 3:2, 3. In that day there shall be a fountain of
cleansing, or a fire of refining, when hearts shall be made pure as gold
and silver is refined and made pure. It is the day in which Isaiah says,
“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though
they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isa. 1:18.
