“Saith the Lord. . .which is to come.” —Revelation 1:8
In the first chapter of Revelation, we see with John a vision of the Christ Who was and is. It is the Christ that was Who washed us in His own blood. It is the Christ that is Who with His head of wisdom, His searching eyes of flame and His feet of burning brass, walks now among the golden candlesticks, which are the seven churches, and holds in His hand the seven stars, which are the messengers, the pastors of the seven churches.

“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” —Exodus 15:26

The tongues phenomenon with the distributed flames of fire which sat upon each of them and the rushing mighty wind preceded the …
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”—Revelation 14:13
The day after our father’s death last May, we five children, who had come from different parts of the country, were sitting together and talking through our tears of his last days, and recalling the virtues of his noble life, when a messenger boy entered the room and handed me a telegram. I opened it and read aloud as follows: …
