192 The Revelation of Jesus Christ chaos, confusion will fill the earth. And man will see that the world needs its rightful King, "the Prince of Peace." He alone is able to rule in righteousness, and He will reign "from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." What a disappointment awaits the twentieth century civil ization! Men boast about their education, their civilization, their ecclesiastical refinements; but the day is coming when everything that is not built upon the one foundation that Jesus Christ laid will be like chaff before a summer threshingfloor. Every tree that is not of the Lord's planting shall find the axe laid to the root and shall be cast down. Again, in verse 19, Babylon is mentioned; but as our next lesson, covering chapters seventeen and eighteen, deals with that subject in detail, we shall pass over it here. My friend, if you do not know Christ as your Saviour, if you persist in rejecting Him as your only hope, you will have a part in that overwhelming judgment described in chapters fifteen and sixteen of the book of Revelation. Do not reject the best Friend in all the universe, God's only begotten Son and Calvary's Lamb. He loves you, and He longs to have your love. Look unto Him, and "be ye saved."
