ffil; and moreap
precluted as the
SKf’j days aud weeks
.WSICfe RUSSfinj go by. continues
to be presented
both at home and abroad. The Pas
tor’* topic was from a text we huve
never before heard discussed In the
jiulplt—"Then shall appear the slgu of
the Son of Man In heaven; and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of Man
coming In the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.”—Mutt 34:30
The speaker pointed out that various
suggestions have been made by schol
ars respecting the Import of this
prophecy by the Master. Some guess
e(l that the sign would be a Cross In
the shy. Olliers thought that It would
be Christ Himself, who would aiijieur
In some wrathful form to humanity,
causing dismay.
The Pastor surmised that his hearer*
had rend the published reports of his
sermon of last Sunday respecting the
Second Coming of Christ In its two
phases—the Pnrousla, or invisible pres
euee, followed by the Eplphauia, or
bright-shining lu darning tire, or Jiulg
inent- He asked his hearers to remem
her the finding* of last week—that we
cannot say that the sign of the Son of
Man tn heaven will he His Parousla
On ths contrary, the l’arousla of Christ
will not he known to the tribes, or
families, of the eurth In general, but
will be known only to the most saintly
ones of the Church of Christ. Conse
fluently, the sign of the Son of Man
must lu some sense stand related to
Ills Kpipbtiniu. or shining forth In the
‘‘flaming fire” of judgment, which the
whole World of mankind wlll recognize
The hearers were reminded that the
word "slgu” Is of broad meaning:
for Instance, crepe Is a Blgn of mourn
lug; the Cross represent* Christianity:
the Crescent, Mohammedanism. In
other words, n sign is merely an lmll
cation. So when we read of the "sign
of the Son of Man in heaven,” the
thought might properly he that
thlug will occur indlcstlve of the pres
ence of the Son of Mnn-Mhat He has
taken to Himself Ills great power and
has begun Ills Reign Since the Son
of Man Is to be revealed In fiamlng fire,
taking vengeance. It follows that this
slgu must he some sign of vengeance,
some Indication of righteous ludtgua
tlon against wroug.
The question, then, arises. How would
•ueb a slgu, or Indication, appear In
the sky, lu the heavens? The Pastor
replied that this Is not the thought. On
the contrary, he urged his hearers to
remember that the Bible repeatedly
uses the words heaven, mountain, sea.
In a symbolical manner—the earth rep
resenting organized society; the iuouu
tains representing kingdoms, as the
backbones of this organized society:
the seas representing the restless
masses of humanity, continually seek
Ing to swallow up the social ’’earth.”
In the san e symbolic terms the heav
ens represent the ecclesiastical (low
ers of the world—Churchlanlty The
sign appearing In the heavens, the
Pastor believes, signifies that the be
ginning of Christ’s judgments will fall
u|Hm the ecclesiastical systems of our
day. The flauilug fire of judgments
will first manifest Itself tn ecclesiasti
cal affairs and circles
Mankind will gradually become swak
ened to the thought that n new Gov
ernment is In control, and that Its pol
icy will be the law of "judgment to the
line and righteousness to tie plum
met.” Since unrighteousness is preva
lent as n result of man's fallen condi
tion. the conscience* of the whole world
will he awakened, quickened; and fear,
dread, will come uihhi all classes every
where. This will be not ouly because
they will see the primary sign of
Christ’s righteous judgments In rell
gious circle- but been line thev will see
Him cobiiixi drawing nearer and near
<*r In Judgment; and they will recogulze
that they, teo, must shortly b* In
votved. Hen e then- will ls> mourning

that ail the families of the earth have

dread Him as lin-ir Almighty l-'oe. In
stead of realizing Him to be the God of

"from w’i an eometh every good and

The eyes of the world have been
blinded to Hie goodness of God. Ter
rilile dread lu .tin* hearts of humanity
will lead to the v , II of fear as they
perceive Christ’s righteous judgments

with dread and apprehension. Only
those who are truly the Lord's and are
rightly Informed respecting the Divine
I’luu of tile Ages will be able to lift up
their heads and rejoice, knowing that
their ’’deliverance dratveth nigh."
“The Heavers Being on Firv."
Rt. Peter apparently described this
sign of the Son of Man In the heavens
revealed In fiamlng tire. His words are
“The heavens living on file shall be dis
solved.” and "the earth also [shall take
fire) and the works that are therein
shall be burned up." d! Peter 3:10-12.:
Let us not make the mistake of our
forefathers In sup|ios!ng that these do
sc riptions mean a literal burning of tin
literal earth. I.et us, on the contrary
realize that the symbolical earth and
the symbolical heavens are to catch
fire and pa:.; away with a great com
motion, while the physical earth will
remain practically us It is. and will be
gin to undergo the transforming in ti u
enees of Restitution under the ue«
King, the Restorer of all things—Jesus
and His glorified Church.
It will he noticed that St. Peter men
tlons the fire as coming to the heavens
before it reaches the earth, in just tin
same order that Jesus stated the mat
ter. The sign, manifestation, of the
flaming fire of judgments will appear
in the heavens; and subsequently the
sign of the Son of Man in judgment
will be seen coming nearer and nearer
to earth's affairs, with a view to purg
lag them 'absolutely from everything
sinful, selfish, unjust.
We are told that the elements will
melt with fervent heat. We see the
Capitalistic element and the Labor ele
ment separating, the one from tin
other. We see (ho preparations for tin
great conflagration, the great Time o!
Trouble. We sometimes speak of it In
this language, saying. "Things are gel
ting very hot." They will presently h
so hot that spontaneous combustin',
will set lu. And the lire of that Dai
will he so extreme and its results so
drastic as to fulfil the Master's word
that unless those days of tribulation
should he shortened no flesh would
survive.
But because of the Election, becausi
of the Kingdom which will then be so!
up. those days will be shortened
brought to an cud. Nothing will In
destroyed except that which is in
jurious. The world wide results of thin
flaming lire of Div ine Judgments wi!
be corrective, preparing men’s heart
for the blessings which the Lord i
prepared then to give. Thus It is writ
teu, ‘‘When the Judgments of the Lord
are abroad In flip earth, the inhabitants
of the world will learn righteousness "
It will lie noted that St. Peter, In
speaking of that Time of Trouble, men
tlons that the heavens—ecclesiastldsm
—will lie on lire first; and that Inter,
tho earth—society and its political,
financial and social organizations— will
he Involved also. In harmony with
this, our text tel Is that this sign, or
Indication, for the revealing of Messiah
In flaming lire, will fir§t be 1n the
Church Furthermore, according to St
Peter's statement, we are to expect
that the ee< lesiastlcnl heavens will pass
away with a great noise—a great com
motion—before the social order is fully
reached by the consuming fire.
The same thought is brought to our
attention in Revelation, where a wide
distinction Is made between the
nominal church systems, called Baby
lon. and the true Church, which ts
admonished in advance to come out of
Babylon and to stand in personal rela
tionship to God through Christ This
general call, which belongs to the end
of the Age. before the judgments come
upon Babylon, reads, “Come out of
her, My people, that ye be not par
takers of her sins, aud that ye receive
not of her plagues." The intimation is
that ns soon as the loyally obedient
have been gathered out of Babylon
some drastie trouble will come upon
her.
We should not apply this term "Rab
yton’* to individuals, but to great sys
tem*. outwardly having a form of
godliness, but really misrepresenting
the Dtvtue character, the Divine Plau.
the true tr: citings of the Bible. Of
course, the Individuals IdentHJed with
the systems have more or less respon
idbility. according to their official posi
tlon and their Intelligence In similar
proportion these Individuals may have
tribulations In conjunction with the
fall of Babylon We do not under
stand the term '’Babylon" to lie ap
piled Scrtptorally to any sect or party
btit rather to refer to the general con
glomorntlon of systems and denomlna
tlons Likewise, when reading of the
litter destruction that Is to come upon
Babylon, we arc to differentiate he
tween the systems and the individuals
connected with those systems.
The Judgments of the Ixird are not
designed to crush or destroy humanity,
but to destroy utterly the systems of
error, bondage and superstition which
have fettered humanity and hindered
them from fuller progress amt develop
ment tn the knowledge and favor of
God With the fall of the great sys
tem* (Babylon, con fusion' men’s eyes
will begin to open: the blind will begin
to "see out of obscurity" (Isaiah 2l):18l

come speedily, suddenly -figuratively.
; “lu an dour." The descriptions of her
fall alt* various. In one jilnce we read
that she shall be utterly burned with
fire. The same symbol of fire is used
by Ht. I’eter in referring to the same
trouble and destruction. In another
place we read that Babylon shall be
cast like a great millstone into the sea
and be found no more at all.
“Every Eye Shall See Him."
Throughout this Gospel Age. the
Lord's people have with tho eye of
faith recognized Jesus as their Redeem
er and Deliverer. But comparatively
few have had such eyes of faith and
understanding The majority, as the
Apostle declares, are blinded by Satan
and by error, and fail to get a proper,
true view of Christ. He says that
"the god of this world” has blinded
the minds of all unbelievers. But the
gracious |iromise of the Lord is that
all the blinded eyes shall be opened.
The exjieriences of eighteen cen
turies have done little toward opening
the eyes of the world; but the revela
tlon of Me: i.ih In flaming fire will np
peal to them quickly. They will see
Him thus -"Every eye shall see Him.
and those ulso who pierced Him”—the
Jews. Instinctively they will fear. It
may require a considerable time for
them to become fully persuaded that
the One feared is their best Friend,
who gave His life as their Redemption
price, and whose judgments in tin
earth are for the very purpose ol
breaking the bondage of fear, igno
ranee superstition, sin. selfishness and
injustice, and of allowing the whole
world to go free from a sin-slaverv
which has long oppressed them.
In due time they will learn that the
fire of God's auger does not burn
against the sinners for whom Christ
died, but merely against their sins. The
learning of this lesson will open their
eyes still more widely and enable them
to see something of the length, the
breadth, the height and the depth of
God's Love, of which the Apostle tells
—Ephesians 3:14-19.
That the Jews will be in that trouble,
the Bible distinctly marks out. It will
be “the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he
shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah
80:7.) The Gospel Church having been
completed by that time and having
passed beyond the veil, God’s favor
will be restored to Natural Israel; and
the time for the special manifestation
of that favor will be in the dark hour
of Jacob’s trouble, when the Jews are
surrounded by enemies. In and through
that trouble the Lord will pour upon
them the spirit of grace and of sup
plication. and they will look upon Him
whom they pierced. (Zechariah 12:10.)
They will discern that they made a
great and horrible mistake in crucify
ing the Friend of Sinners, their long
promised Messiah. We are told that
they shall mourn because of Him, and
that then the spirit of prayer and sup
plication will come to them and they
will see Jesus In llis real character.
At or about that same time Divine
favor will be manifested on Israel's
behalf, and the Lord will deliver them,
as In olden times. Their eyes of faith
and understanding will open more and
more widely. Eventually, according
to the Bible, they will become the lend
ers of mankind in returning to God.
who will abundantly pardon their
iniquity anil grant them a prominent
share In the blessings of His Kingdom.
•Few Stripes” and "Many Stripes.”
The great Messianic Kingdom will
not spare the rod. but will inflict pun
Ishments for the world’s correction in
righteousness. Borne will suffer more
and some less, according to the Mas
fer’s own statements. Those under
standing the principles of righteous
! ness and wilfully violating them will
be beaten heavily, “with many
stripes”; while others, such as the
heathen, for instance, who knew little,
will receive fewer stripes, proportion
ate to their ignorance. All the stripes,
however, will be reformatory, and with
a view to helping and encouraging the
transgressors to abandon the ways of
iniquity and to walk in the paths of
righteousness.
That will be a happy day for earth’s
thousands of millions—a Day with the
Lord, a thousand years. Everywhere
there will be evidences of the operation
of Divine Mercy and Justice, and the
| necessary lessons will be quickly
i learned by all people. AVe cannot doubt
that even fifty years of Kingdom in
j fluenee will make a wonderful change
! in bumau affairs and conditions. The
blessing of the Lord will come to the
earth In proportion as God’s will shall
be done on eurth.
Finally, with all sin eliminated, all
Imperfections gone aud all the wil
fully wicked destroyed, every creature
on earth, as well ns in Heaven, will be
heard saying, “Blessing and honor and
glory and power be unto Him that
sltteth upon the Throne and unto the
Lamb forever and ever.” Then, and
not till then, will God’s will be done
#n earth, even as it Is done tn Heaven;
for not until then will there be ft per
fect race capable of doing God's will,
and a tested race, all of whom will de
light to do His will.
A specki I lesson to God's people to
day is that now is the Church's time
of calling, acceptance and making their
election sure by hearty obedience to the
Divine will. Thus neither shall we lie
of the world, who will wall because of
the sign of the Son of Man In the dl*
solution of the ecclesiastical heavens,
nor shall we be Identified with th*
