Christian fiction; Second Advent -- Fiction; Tribulation (Christian eschatology) -- Fiction
With all the other aerial and other convulsions of nature, a hailstorm,
covering an enormous area, will be one of the horrors, when, putting
the weight of the stones at the lowest average, they will probably be
quite a hundred-weight each.
And so event will follow event in such rapid succession as to puzzle
the writer how to place them wholly in consecutive order. Satan will
be taken and bound for a thousand years. The _living_ nations will
have been judged as regards their treatment of the Jews, and as to
their acceptance of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
On, on, on, event upon event, until the glorious millennial reign of
Christ shall be ushered in.
But before anything of which we have written in these pages can come to
pass, our precious, loving Lord must come into the air to take up His
own people to Himself. For this every true Christian should be
looking, waiting, watching,--and _working_ while they wait, for He has
said "_Occupy_ till I come."
"So I am watching quietly
Every day,
Whenever the sun shines brightly
I rise and say,--
"Surely it is the shining of His face,"
And look unto the gates of His high place
Beyond the sea,
For I know He is coming shortly
To summon me.
And when a shadow falls across the window
Of my room,
Where I am working my appointed task,
I lift my head to watch the door, and ask
If He is come?
And the Angel answers sweetly
In my home,----
"Only a few more shadows,
And He will come."
"Even so, Lord Jesus! Come! Come quickly!"
"FINIS?" No! WAITING!
