angel came and told those shepherds on
the plains that lie was born;
they told the Virgin she was TO be the
mother of that child; they told Zacha-
riah that John was coming and We had
the angels authority that he was risen,
and we have the same authority TO believe
that He Is coming back. "Ye men OF
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into
heaven? This same Jesus, which Is taken
up from you into heaven, shall so come In
like manner es ye have seen Him go into
heaven"
That Is what they said. Either believe
1t or burn up your Bibles. Now, the
angels said lie was coming the first time,
the angels said He was risen from the
dead ard the angels said He was
coming back. We don't know
anything about what He is going TO do
when He comes. ! want to say right here
that people make mistake In getting up
program of what Christ is going to
do. Some one has said that a wife just
likes TO hear the football OF her husband
whether she can understand his ledger or
not, "Fear not, little fiocks."
IL is your fathers good pleasure to give
you kingdom. ] tell you what! be-
lieve as i read that Bible, that there is
going to be no mf1lenn1um until He does
come. You take q lot Of sawdust and put
some steel into IL. You say, "How are
we going to he separated?" You just try
the sawdust and steel. Take and draw
a good strong magnet over the saw
dust and see every particle of steel
fly to meet the magnet. When thegreat
magnet of heaven bursts upon this world,
every child of God will fly
to meet Him. That is going to
take place, tell you what!
When the sixteen thousand years are up,
believe the Lord will be back here. This
whisky businngs will be done for then.
We will have different state OF things.

and never once heard it whispered that
the Lords table had anything whatever
10 do with the return OF the Lord.
When they spoke about His coming
that was death. But notice when
you eat at the Lords table
the next time that ii is a very long table
that 1t reaches from This death to His re-
turn. We eat His supper until He comes.

That man is getting homesick. He is
thinking about the inheritance
by and by. We wait for
the reunion with our loved ones, until
He comes. Weeping mother, cheer up to-

bring that child back. He will bring tnat
loved one that has been gone long time.
That is what he says. Let that husband

He is going to bring her back. Everyone
who has died In Christ, He is going to
