am, thither ye cannot come." viii. 21, 24. Then said Jesus again unto them, "I go My way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come :-for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.") He hath withdrawn Himself from them. I will go and return to My place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek My Face: in their affliction they will seek Me early. Isa. lxvi. 1-4, 5, 6. Thus saith The Lord, "The heaven is My Throne, and the earth is My Footstool; where is the house that ye build unto Me? and where is the place of My rest? For all those things hath Mine Hand made, and all those things have been, saith The Lord; but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word. "He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb [or kid], as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol (xlviii. 1; Jer. v. 2). Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions [devices], and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear; but they did evil before Mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. "Hear the word of The Lord, ye that tremble at His word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for My Name's sake, said 'Let The Lord be glorified!' but He shall Appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed." A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the Temple, a voice of The Lord that rendereth recompense to His enemies! . (2 Thes. i. 6-10. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; and to you who are troubled rest with us, when The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with the Angels of His power, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from The Presence of the Lord and from The Glory of His power; when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that Day.) .. Isa. lxvi. 10-16. For, behold! The Lord will come with fire, and with His Chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.. Ezek. xi. 15-23. Thus saith The Lord God, . "I will give you the Land of Israel. And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh: that they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances and do them and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. (Jer. xxxii. 38—42, xxxi. 31—34.) But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith The Lord God." Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and The Glory of The God of Israel was over them above. And The Glory of The Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the Mountain which is on the East side of the city.) (Mount of Olives, Zech. xiv. 4; Luke xxiv. 50-52; Acts i. 12.) "YEAR-DAY" AND "LITERAL-DAY" INTERPRETATIONS. 1 Thess. iv. 15-17. The Lord's Advent at the beginning of the Year-day 7th Seal, 7th Trumpet, & 7th Vial: about 5 years before the Consummation: Receiving the "firstfruits" "into the air," Zech. xiv. 4; Acts i. 11, 12. The Lord's Advent in its second stage at the beginning of the literal-day 7th Seal, The martyrs of the last Tribulation raised in glorified bodies, EKOYTEI-ESCAPE. Luke xxi. 28, 33, 36. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away. Watch ye! therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand-[εμжроσ0εν, — stand accepted: Jude 24; Rev. iv. 4; Eph. i. 6] before The Son of Man. "Now unto Him Who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the Presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, to The only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever! Amen!" Jude 24, 25. "Round about The Throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold." Rev. iv. 4. แ "To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in The Beloved One." Eph. i. 6. (Matt. xvii. 5; John viii. 29.) "Philadelphian" Christians, who love, and look for, Christ's Appearing, escape the Hour of temptation? [Typical fulfilment at the siege of Jerusalem by Titus, when the Christians-believing the word of The Lord Jesus, and perceiving the signs He had foretold-left the city, before the siege: antitypical fulfilment in the 4 or 5 years of trouble (its intensity during 34 years) preceding The Lord's descent upon the Mount of Olives: Luke xxi.; Zech. xiv. 4, &c.; at the beginning of which period the “Wise Virgins are supposed to be translated, and, with the risen "dead in Christ," to "meet The Lord in the air;" and shortly afterwards, and before the commencement of the 1260 days,—34 years,- is expected to occur the flight of the "Woman,"-the main body of the Church,-into a wilderness. Rev. xii; 1 Thess. iv. 14-17.] A crown of righteousness unto all them that love His Appearing. 2 Tim. iv. 8. (Phil. iii. 8—14.) Unto them that look for Him shall He Appear the second time without a Sin-Offering unto salvation. Heb. ix. 28. (1 Pet. i. 5.) Our community, city, is in heaven, from whence also we look for The Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. Phil. iii. 20. Looking for and hasting the coming of the Day of God. 2 Pet. iii. 12; Tit. ii. 13. To wait for His Son from heaven. 1 Thess. i. 10. Waiting for the Coming [revelation, Col. iii. 4] of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. i. 7. WATCHING. Rev. iii. 8-10. I know thy works: behold! I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My Name. NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. Rev. iii. 15, 17-19. I know Thy works, that Thou art neither cold nor hot: I would Thou wert cold or hot. Because thou sayest, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayst be rich (Matt. xxv. 9); and white raiment that thou mayst be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear (Matt. xxii. 11-13; Isa. lxi. 10; lxiv. 6); and anoint thine eyes with eye salve that thou mayst see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent! (1 Cor. xi. 32.) "HOUR" OF SUPREMACY OF ANTICHRIST WITH HIS TEN KINGS: Rev. xiv. 12, 13. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the Faith of Jesus. (Heb. xii. 1, 2.) And I heard a Voice from heaven saying unto me, "Write! Blessed are the dead which die in The Lord from henceforth! saith the Spirit; Yea, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." (Acts. ii. 18-21.) Rev. xii. 17. And the Dragon was wroth with the "Woman," and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ. (Luke xxiv. 48; Acts iii. 14, 15.) Rev. xvii. 12-14. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the Beast.
