to Rev. Ira E. David, who preached
at the Gospel Tabernacle. “It is very
evident to the casuel observer,” he
said, “that the earth since 1914 has
had great tribulation. The greatest
war, great famines and great earth
-quakes have come with their suffer
ing and horrors. If coming events
cast their shadows before them the
great tribulation is now upon the
world. I can never read in God’s
Word, God’s program of the things
that He announces are coming to this
earth that I do not feel like praying:
‘O, be ye reconciled to God.’ O, that
sinners might be aroused to seek
God’s race while there is opportunity.
Suppose you are ready before God
comes. Suppose you are ready five
years before He comes what of it?
It will bef ive years of glory. But
suppose you are ten minutes late. If
you hurry to catch a train and it has
been gone ten minutes it is then too
late to overtake it. God has hung
out the red lantern of warning so that,
it cannot escape the notice of any
person. Watch ye therefore and pray,
always that ye may escape the things
that come to pass in the last days and
stand in the heavenly judgment.”
