Como unto me and drink. Here arc
three conditions: First, thirst; second,
come; third, drink. 1t is just like re-

when we are converted. We received
him then by faith: We must receive

THE great multitude out of every
nation, mentioned in the seventh chap
ter, is composed of saints who are re.
deemed out of the great tribulation'
after the church has been taken out OF
the world. This ought to bring relief
and joy to every Christian, that during
the time of awful trouble that shall
come upon the. earth, vast multitudes
OF people shall be saved.
| 'ln other words, the rapture of the
church will not end the time of proba
tion of humanity. The word says that
this great multitude is SO great that
mo man can number IL. l believe we
are warranted in believing that the
vast majority OF those who enter the
great tribulation will be saved in the
tIibulation. God is going to save and
save almost universally during that
time. After this follows the golden
age. Then shall be the vindication Of
God an show His wonderful love to the
lace. Then we shall see what God car
make of humanity. Then we shall
have a redeemed race in fellowship with
God and illustrating what obedience te
God will bring forth. :"
