The Gospel Era, or The Dispense.
ton of The Holy Spirit is spoken of
as day, John S:5-6; Cor. 6:2. This
being the ease the first part of this
ID spensational Day was to be the
morning, and the time of its appro-
aching end would be the Evening
Light. The Morning Light expresses
the purity and the power os the
Primitive church, while the express
sion, Evening Light, points TO the
holiness of the church in the time of
the end.
THE BURDEN oFTHE DUMAH.
He calleth to me out of Seir,
"Watchman, What of the NightPn
The watchman said, "Thc Morning
Cometh, and Also the Night, Isa.,
2l:lG-l2. The silence ofDumah was
broken by one crying in the wilder
ness, Repent for the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand" A few months
later the Messiah appeared, and they
that sat in darkness saw great
light. At this time the church was
built. She was built up a spiritual
house, an holy nation, Peter 2:5:9.
She was one body, and her members
one, as Christ and the Father are
one, John II. One Faith, One Way.
Christ was her only door, and Saliva
tio.n the only mode of introduction,
John 1879.
THE MIGHT OF HER APosTAsY.
And it shall come to pass in that
day saith the Lord God, 81 will
cause the sun TO go down at noon,
and | will darken the earth in its
clear day, Amos $50. The clear day
was The holy Spirits Dispensation.
You will also notice that this is
spoken of in Acts, 2:I9-20.
This scripture is not to be under
stood literally. This was TO take
place before that great and notable
day when The Lord comes. The
Word of God is an emblem of the
Son; thus bringing spiritual light
into the world. The largest portion
of the Word was burned nq by Papal
Rome. There was TO be famine of
hearing the Word of the Lord, see
Amos, S:11-l2. The moon being
turned into blood, was the church of
God. Now, readers, if you have a
Concordance Bible, and you will
find that it means, The Church of
God. Thus the moon was turned TO
blood by the assassination by the
hand of Papal Rome, see Matt, 24:-
%. The casting down of the stars
is not to be understood literally. The
apostles are represented as stars, in
fact all OF Gods ministers are. From
Heaven, is to be understood that
Gods people are in the The King
dom of Heaven. Paul says, eve
SIT with Christ in heavenly Places
In : Thess., 2-3 Paul was permitted
to see the falling away, and also the
revealing time. HallaluJah! We are
IN that revealing time now, The Eve
ming Light. Praise God The spirit
of His mouth is Gods Word. Paul
says, 81 lay the foundation, but an
ether man buildeth thereon" Every
mans work shall be tried by fire.
God says, els not My Word fret"
The hay and the stubbles of men are
being consumed by the spirit of His
mouth, And again, the BODY of
Christ is being discerned, whish is
the church, Eph., 1929. This is
what we mean by The Evening
Light.
There is a period spoken of that
would follow the dark day, which
would be cloudy, that refers to the
three hundred and fifty years of sec
tism. Truth and errors mixed. But
1t shall be light" Zach, 14:6-7. This
awful night of spiritual ignorance
and Babel confusion, consisted of
Roman Catholicism and protestant
ism, and every thing that made con
fusion. These periods lasted about
slxteen-hundre years. 1t had been
propheside by Isa., 63:lS; Isa. I.2l-
