110 The Revelation of Jesus Christ been born of the Spirit, and made a member of the body of Christ will be left behind-would go into the tribulation with out hope of salvation. That is, everyone who has had an opportunity to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as His personal Saviour, and has rejected Him, every person whose Chris worldliness, will be among those who will be blinded by the tianity is but a profession, a lukewarm mixture of religion and "strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." That great multitude, as we have pointed out, will not be made up of men and women who have sat beneath the preach ing of the Gospel of the grace of God; people that have re jected God's grace and rejected God's Son; who have heard the way of life. but have repudiated the Word of God. You will remember how God hardened Pharaoh's heart. But long before God hardened his heart, Pharaoh himself had hardened his own heart. My friend, are you among those who are rejecting God's Son? If you are, and the translation of the believing children of God should take place today, you would go into the tribu lation period, and be among those upon whom God will send a "strong delusion." 4. The "Strong Delusion." And what is that strong delu sion? That the Antichrist, the devil's man, is worthy of wor ship. Those who reject God's grace and God's Christ, will accept Satan's christ. And why? "That they all might be judged ( R. V.) who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" ( II Thess. 2: 12). Never let any cult or person lead you to reject the Gospel of the grace of God with the hope that you will have another chance after the church is translated. There is no word in the Bible which would lead anyone to believe that there will be any hope for those who reject Christ as their Saviour, after the day of grace is over. THE BLESSED HOPE I am glad that I am washed in the blood of the Lamb! If this day should close the age of grace, if the last member should be added to the body of Christ right now, and the church should arise to meet the Lord in the air, I rejoice in
