212 The Revelation of Jesus Christ of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." Everything not founded upon this "rock" will be swept away. The only thing that you can ever build that will outlast this earth and the age in which you live is that which you build upon the foundation that Jesus Christ laid when He shed His blood on .Calvary. "Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ." If you build upon this foundation, when the multitude of the world's religious and commercial systems and everything connected with them are destroyed, you will be safe in glory, "forever with the Lord." "REJOICE, THOU HEAVEN!" In 18:20 and again in 19:1-4 we read the account ofthe concluding vision in connection with the fall of Babylon. The redeemed in heaven will rejoice over the judgment which God shall mete out to "the great whore," "which did corrupt the earth with her fornication." Moreover, there will be rejoicing over the righteous judgment of God in avenging "the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth" at the hands of this counterfeit religion. "Much people in heaven" will praise the only true God, saying, "Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: for· true and righteous are his judgments . Alleluia." "And the four and twenty elders and the four living crea tures fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia" (Rev. 19:4). My friend, does your heart echo this "Amen. Alleluia"? Can you say, ':Let it be so. Praise ye the Lord," because He will one day appear to put away sin, and to reign in righteous ness and peace? You must know Him as your Saviour if you would share with Him His glory. "Without the shedding of blood is no remission" of sin. And Calvary's Lamb is the Judge of all the earth. Look unto Him and "be ye saved". for time and for eternity.
