221 The Revelation of Jesus Christ of the heavens and the descent of the armies of the Lord! Those demon-possessed armies of the earth '-':'ill stand shoul~ der to shoulder, regiment to regiment, against the One who sits upon the white horse; while that One will tread "the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God!" And then shall come that blessed interva_l of peace, when the Son of God shall sit upon the throne of His father David, and reign over the house of Jacob. The earth will blossom like a rose, and will be filled with "the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11: 9). These conditions, my friends, will never be realized until the personal, visible, bodily return of our Lord. How do you stand tonight? We are coming to the end of the day of grace. All signs seem to point to His soon coming. How will it be with you then? Will you be one of those left, when He comes for His own? "One shall be taken, the other left." Which "one" of these will you be? If our Lord should come today, would you be left behind to face the terrors of the tribulation period? When the bride of Christ sits down to "the marriage supper of the Lamb," will you be there? The answer to a11 these questions depends upon your relationship to Jesus Christ as the Saviour, who shed every drop of His blood, that you might be with Him in glory at that day. Will y9u heed His pleading, "Come unto Me"? Or will you hear Him say, "Depart from me, ye wicked"? The answer rests with you. God has done His part. Get beneath the cleansing, sheltering blood; and in that day, which is rapidly drawing nigh, you Y'ill be among the redeemed that shall rise to meet the Son of God in the air.
