borne you a message of the near coming of the Son of God in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory. I have not presented
before you any definite time, but have repeated to you the injunction of
Christ himself, to watch unto prayer, “For in such an hour as ye think
not, the Son of man cometh.” [
Matthew 24:44
.] The warning has come
echoing down the ages to our time, “Behold, I come quickly; and my
reward is with me to give every man according as his work shall be. I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
[115]
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right
to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
