THE LAST AGE OF TIME.
BY Pearl L. Gilliams.

May the Lord help us all to realize
that we are now living in the last age
of time. The oath chapter of Mat
thew is being speedily fulfilled. Jesus
tells us that when We see all these
things, know that it is near, even at
the DOORS" Matt 24:93, and This Cos
pei of the kingdom shall be preached 3
in all the world for witness untol
all nations, and then shall the end
come" This glad news of Jesusi
speedy return is foretold ia Matthew
24:14 and it is seeping to the ,earth's\
remotest bounds This mighty fact.
is being strongly proclaimed to every
nation by the saints of God, and am
forced to believe that the final period
(and) about to be placed too upon
the last page of earth ssin-stained his
tory This know also that in the
last days perilous( dangerously time
shall come. Tim. 81. We are now
standing upon the Threshold Of perl
lous or troublesome time, the lorna
does and other great calamities an
nounce it, Even this old earth her
self trembles it forth, for the steady
increase of earthquakes is an unmis-
taxable sign of the end. Matt. 24:7
| For nation shall rise aga'Hst nation
and kingdom against kingdom, and
there shall be famines and Sest1lences
and earthquakes in divers places, and
that knowing the time that now 1t Is
high time to awake from our sleep
for now is our salvation nearer than
when we believed the night Is far
spent, the day is at hand; let us put
on the armor of light righteous
ness). Rom. 1911, -.
On the beginning Of Jesus Galilean
ministry when he went into the syna'
gogue at Nazareth, the book OF the
prophet Isaiah Qsaias) was delivered
to him to read. While the eyes Of all
the people in the synagogue were
\ fastened directly upon him; when he
had opened the book he found the
place where it was written, THE Sp1r-
it of the Lord is upon me because ne
hath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor, he hath sent me to heal
the broken-hearted, to preach the de-
liverance of the captives and recover
ing of sight to the blind, to set at lib
erty those that are bruised, to preach
the acceptable year of the Lord and
he began to say unto them, this day Is
this his. Scripture s!iss1 fulfilled in y0T ears
This passage of Scripture l%1ds me
to think that we are now lying In
"the scrip-lable year of the Low" and
this is the acceptable time to 5btain
Gods salvation for Jesus came In an
acceptable day to bless the world. AS
foresaid, we are now living in the
: last dispensation of time, and Gods
word is now an open book to the
world, offering mercy and salvation TO
every creature under heaven, but It's
pages will close forever when the Son
of man shall come in power and great
glory to Judge the quick and the
dead. No, there will not be an age
after this in which there will be evan
gelistic campaigns conducted to get
: people saved. The great day of Judg-
ment is yet in the future, and also the
, second coming of the Lord But he
will Judge the quick and the dead at
his appearing. 2 Tim. Al, For he
= has appointed a day in which he will
/, Judge the world. Acts 1881. The
y great day in which Jesus is coming
has already been appointed but Is
known only to the Father himself.
But of that day and hour knoweth no
}, man, no, not the angels Of heaven,
but my Father only. Matt. 24:36. Yet
there have been false prophets pre-
dieting the immediate coming Of
Christ and the end of the world BY
e fire, but he neevr came, for If people
q knew that the Lord would come on a
certain day there would be no need
of their watching beforehand. But he
p warns us in Matt. 1885, 36, also In
: Thess. 5:26 to watch The final sepa-
) ration between the righteous and the
6 wicked will be made when the Lord
. appears, SO let us who are not ready
D. prepare to meet him when he comes.
