Men Now Living Will See Christ Come

Men Now Living Will See Christ Come
TO the Editor:
Men and women now are living on
this earth who are in middle life, yes,
who are bowed with age, who will see
Jesus Christ coming in the clouds Of
heaven with power and great glory.
Overwhelming Bible evidence, can be
given to show that the people now liv-
ing upon the earth will see the glorious
appearing in the Son of God to take
His followers with Him to heaven, to
bring an end to all sin, sorrow, pain,
and death, to wipe away all tears, to
Danish war from the earth, and to
bring joy and gladness to those who
are ready to meet Him.
The Scripture declares, "Christ was
once offered to bear the sins of many,
and unto them that look for him shall
he appear the second time, without
sin, unto salvation" The Seventh
Day Adventists are lookinng for Him.
That is why we are called Adventists.
Some may ask, isn't there danger
that after you have looked for the COM
ing of Christ for so long, that after all
you may be mistaken about this mat
ter?" No, there is not the slightest
chance for a mistake upon this i'm
portant point. Christ is coming, and
He is coming soon. Seventh-Day Ad-
ventists never have pretended to know
just when, for the exact time is not
revealed in the Bible. But the Bible
tells US the generation. in which He
| will come. We don't have to guess at
| it. a.
In the oath Chapter of Matthew, we
find the record of the Saviour's pro-
mise that He would return. The l4th
verse tells us: This, gospel OF the
kingdom shall be preached in all the
world, for a witness unto all nations,
and then shall the end come" When
do Seventh.Day Adventists expect the
end Of the world? When the gospel
| of the kingdom is preached in all the
world. How soon will that be? Well,
| it might have been done years ago-lt
might have been finished now. The
only reason it has not been finished
is because there were not enough OF
those who loved their Lord sufficiently
to finish it. But we have come to the
time when that message is going
swiftly from nation to nation, and yet
it can go more swiftly. 1t is time we
Tread that scripture with the emphasis
on the "shall." 1t is time we did the
work with all the love for perishing
humanity, and power to reach the
hearts of men, that God can give us.
| Connected with Jesus return is His
coming to our names individually, and
settling whether I'VE shall be received
|by Him when He comes. This court
of inquiry has been in session for
years. It is not yet finished. 1t Is
the most important thing in our lives
to be ready for There is Just one
Thing we can do, only one, which Will
make US ready, and that is to make
complete surrender of our lives into
the Saviour's keeping, to give oursel-
yes fully to Him who, redeemed US,
WFo died for Id THAT we might EaisSfit- live
He has made full provisions for our
salvation. A work must be done in
our lives if we are to be alive and
meet Him. that will take time-how
much time only God knows. What.
ever time is needed, He will give it.
Whatever help is needed, He will give
lit, if we do this one thing, of making
q complete surrender of our lives into
His keeping. -
We stand facing the great event OF
J the ages, when the King of Glory shall
: again come to earth, not helpless
| babe this time but as King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. What preparations
are being made by professed christians
for this great event? May God help
us that these things may not seem like
twice told tales.
Very sincerely yours,
, GEORGE E. TRACER
