The Gospel Day; Or, the Light of Christianity

What shall be the doom of the wicked when that great and notable day of
the Lord shall come? “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the
Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in
flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory
of his power.” 2 Thes. 1:7-9.
This flaming fire in which the Lord shall be revealed from heaven is the
fire that shall come down from God out of heaven and devour Gog and Magog
as they are compassing the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Rev.
20:9.
Dear saint, our God is able to deliver thee. “Wherefore, beloved, seeing
that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in
peace, without spot and blameless.” 2 Pet. 3:14. The Holy Spirit is in the
world searching out and bringing to the light every one that can be
persuaded to accept salvation. Soon he will have gone over the world and
gleaned out every one that is disposed to serve God. The world at large
will reject him. His mission will be ended. He will ascend to the Father.
Then as Christ went into heaven he will come again, taking vengeance on
them that know not God, and receiving his own unto himself. Then the
Savior’s mission will be ended. He will turn all over to the Father, and
the three shall be but one.
“Be ye therefore also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son
of man cometh.” “Prepare to meet thy God.”
The Last Day.
This gospel day is the last day. There never will be another age of time.
An age-to-come teacher is branded by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit,
as a false teacher. We need no other age in which to prepare for eternity.
This is the day of salvation. “Now is the accepted time.” Now is the day
and this is the time for us to accept Christ, and to be accepted of him.
The Word of God holds no promise to you of another day of salvation. How
can man, unless he be wholly subverted, teach another age to come when so
many immutable and infallible texts declare this is the last day and last
time? We will quote a few texts on this subject, and that alone will
convince every one that is candid.
“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together
in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on
earth; even in him.” Eph. 1:10. Are we not to understand that with this
dispensation time is full? Then it will be the end, and as the seventh
angel declares, “Time shall be no more.”
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Tim.
3:1. These are declared to be the last days, hence there is no other day
to come. Only eternity lies before us when this present time is ended.
