And after these awful words shall be fulfilled, in the closing words of the prophecy of Isaiah, Jehovah foretells us how— “They shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against Me; For their worm shall not die, Neither shall their fire be quenched; And they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” This is the teaching of the whole Sign of LEO! It is all summed up in Jer. xxv. 30‐33:— “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, And utter His voice from His holy habitation; He shall mightily roar upon His habitation; He shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, Against all the inhabitants of the earth. A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; For the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, He will plead with all flesh; He will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth Even to the other end of the earth; They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; They shall be dung upon the ground.” Here is the conclusion of the whole matter! Here is the final triumph of the Son of Man in the consummated victory of the Seed of the woman: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” (Rev. v. 12). “O what a bright and blessed world This groaning earth of ours will be, When from its throne the tempter hurled, Shall leave it all, O Lord, to Thee! But brighter far that world above, Where we, as we are known, shall know; And, in the sweet embrace of love, Reign o’er this ransomed earth below. O blessed Lord! with longing eyes That blissful hour we wait to see; While every worm or leaf that dies Tells of the curse, and calls for Thee. Come, Saviour! Then o’er all below Shine brightly from Thy throne above, Bid heaven and earth Thy glory know, And all creation feel Thy love.” SUMMARY. Man has ever sought to rob Christ of His glory. He has long since done his best to obliterate His name and His work from the Revelation which had been written in the stars of light. When He humbled Himself, and came as the promised Seed of the woman, men “saw no beauty in Him that they should desire Him.” And these were _religious_ men. It was religious men, not the common rabble, whom the Old Serpent made use of to wound Him in the heel. The Devil could not touch Him himself; he must use them as his instruments; and it was only _religious_ men that could be so used.
