Signs by Land and Sea, December 3
The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly,
even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry
there bitterly.
Zephaniah 1:14
.
We are near the close of time. I have been shown that the retributive
judgments of God are already in the land. The Lord has given us warning
of the events about to take place.... Those who are drinking from the
same fountain of blessing will draw nearer together. Truth dwelling in
the hearts of believers will lead to blessed and happy assimilation. Thus
will be answered the prayer of Christ that His disciples might be one
even as He is one with the Father. For this oneness every truly converted
heart will be striving.
With the ungodly there will be a deceptive harmony that but partially
conceals a perpetual discord. In their opposition to the will and the truth
of God they are united, while on every other point they are rent with
hatred, emulation, jealousy, and deadly strife.
The Lord is removing His restrictions from the earth, and soon there
will be death and destruction, increasing crime, and cruel, evil working
against the rich who have exalted themselves against the poor. Those
who are without God’s protection will find no safety in any place or
position. Human agents are being trained and are using their inventive
power to put into operation the most powerful machinery to wound and
to kill.
The Lord will arise to shake terribly the earth. We shall see troubles
on all sides. Thousands of ships will be hurled into the depths of the sea.
Navies will go down, and human lives will be sacrificed by millions.
Fires will break out unexpectedly, and no human effort will be able
to quench them. The palaces of earth will be swept away in the fury
of the flames. Disasters by rail will become more and more frequent;
confusion, collision, and death without a moment’s warning will occur
on the great lines of travel. The end is near, probation is closing. Oh, let
us seek God while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near!
