[Manna - August 11]
Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Revelation 2:10
WE are to anticipate a second attack upon the true
church (not upon the nominal system), and this may
mean, as in the case of John the Baptist, a second and
a seemingly complete victory of the Babylonish woman
and her paramour, the world, over the faithful
members of the body of Christ in the flesh.
We shall
certainly not be surprised if the matter so result; but
this and all things must work together for good to
those who love the Lord.
We must all die to win our
heavenly prize beyond the veil.
The Elijah class
this side of the veil must and will be vanquished, but
the apparent defeat only hastens the Kingdom glories. Z.'04-63 R3326:6
