Light Lasting Until the End, August 30
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Revelation 14:13
.
Abundant light has been given to our people in these last days. Whether
or not my life is spared, my writings will constantly speak, and their work
will go forward as long as time shall last. My writings are kept on file in the
office, and even though I should not live, these words that have been given
to me by the Lord will still have life and will speak to the people. But my
strength is yet spared, and I hope to continue to do much useful work. I may
live until the coming of the Lord; but if I should not, I trust it may be said of
me, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow
them.” ...
I thank God for the assurance of His love, and that I have daily His leading
and guidance. I am very busy with my writing. Early and late, I am writing
out the matters that the Lord opens before me. The burden of my work is to
prepare a people to stand in the day of the Lord. The promise of Christ is
sure. The time is not long. We must work and watch and wait for the Lord
Jesus. We are called upon to be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord. All our hopes have their foundation in Christ.
Are our people reviewing the past and the present and the future, as it
is unfolding before the world? Are they heeding the messages of warning
given them? Is it our greatest concern today that our lives shall be refined
and purified, and that we shall reflect the similitude of the divine? This must
be the experience of all who join that company who are washed and made
white in the blood of the Lamb. They must be arrayed in the righteousness
of Christ. His name must be written in their foreheads.—
