A
Special Message |
God is now sending forth a special message for loyalty to His law. He calls
upon every one now who will, to yield himself to obey the laws of His realm;
and more than that, He has set up in this last generation a wonderful sign
of loyalty. There is a special call to that portion of His law which has
been set aside. "Hallow My Sabbaths." "They shall be a sign between Me
and you that ye may know that I am the Lord your God." Ezekiel 20:20).
In
this generation the Lord has set up His Sabbath as a special sign that
He created the heavens and the earth through Jesus Christ. "In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same
was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without
Him was not anything made that was made!" John 1:1-3.
The
Sabbath is set up as a special sign of loyalty to God, of obedience to
His laws, and of our belief in the creating power and the divinity of Jesus
Christ our Lord. Shall we choose Him as our Lord, and step from the kingdom
of darkness into the kingdom of light? He is coming soon, and when He comes,
He whose right it is to reign will reign. He has redeemed the earth, and
He will save when He comes every one who has been obedient to His laws
and has identified himself with Christ as leader.
"And
I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He that sat upon him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make
war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns;
and He had a name written that no man knew but He Himself. And He was clothed
with a vesture dipped in blood, and His name is called the Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed
in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it He should smite the nations and He shall rule them with a
rod of iron and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written,
King of kings, and Lord of lords." Revelation 19:11-16.
Is
He our King and our Lord? Those who recognize Him now as King of kings
and Lord of lords, will be prepared, when He is revealed, to say, "Lo,
this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us; this is the
Lord; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation,"
Isaiah 25:9. |
