For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Matthew 23:39
D.L. MOODYWhen Christ returns, He will not be treated as He was before. There will be room for Him at Bethlehem. He will be welcome in Jerusalem. He will reveal Himself as Joseph revealed himself to his brethren. He will say to the Jews, “I am Jesus,” and they will reply, “Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.” And the Jews will then be that nation that shall be …

Go on up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Isaiah 40:9
D.L. MOODYA traveler once made arrangements with a guide to take him to the top of a high mountain to see the sunrise. They had not journeyed long when there arose a terrible thunderstorm. “It’s no use to go on,” the gentlemen said. “We cannot see the sunrise in the midst of this fearful storm.” “O, sir,” said the guide, “we shall soon get above the storm.” They could see the lightning playing about them, and the grand old mountain shook with the thunder, …

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:10
D.L. MOODYJoseph Parker of London, a nineteenth-century preacher, uttered something I thought was splendid in regard to the thirty-fifth of Isaiah where it says in verse ten, “Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” Take up an old dictionary, he said, and once in a while, you will come across a word marked “obsolete.” The time is coming, he said, when those two words, …

And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Isaiah 6:3
D.L. MOODYWhen we see the holiness of God, we shall adore and magnify Him. Moses learned this lesson. God told him to take his shoes from off his feet for the place where on he stood was holy ground (Exodus 3:5). When we hear men trying to make out that they are holy, and speaking about their holiness, they make light of the holiness of God. It is His holiness that we need to …

Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear. Isaiah 65:24
D.L. MOODYWe talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there.
ERWIN LUTZERMoody often surprises us with his directness and obvious simplicity. Think of it: Of course, heaven is close to us, as close as God’s description given to us in Scripture, and as close as our next breath, which could be our last.In fact, the Scriptures teach that legally, believers are already in “heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). Jesus is …

A kingdom that shall never be destroyed. Daniel 2:44
D.L. MOODYNapoleon tried to establish a kingdom by the force of arms. So did Alexander the Great and Caesar and other great warriors, but they utterly failed. Jesus founded His kingdom on love, and it is going to stand. When we join this realm of love, then all selfish and unworthy motives will disappear and our work will stand the fire when God shall put it to the test.
ERWIN LUTZERSome dictators have made promises about their kingdoms; Hitler predicted his empire would last for a thousand years, but …

He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. John 16:14
D.L. MOODYThe world can get on very well without you and me, but the world cannot get on without Christ and therefore, we must testify of Him.The world today is just hungering and thirsting for this divine, satisfying portion. Thousands and thousands are sitting in darkness, knowing not of this great Light; but when we begin to preach Christ honestly, faithfully, sincerely, and truthfully, holding Him up, not ourselves; exalting Christ, and not our theories; presenting Christ, and not our …

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:3–4
D.L. MOODYAs long as our mind is stayed on our dear selves, we will never have peace. Some people think more of themselves than of all the rest of the world. It is self in the morning, self at noon, and self at night. It is self when they wake up and self when they go to bed. They are all the time looking at themselves and …

Your evil will chastise you, and your apostasy will reprove you. Know and see that it is evil and bitter for you to forsake the LORD your God; the fear of me is not in you, declares the Lord GOD of hosts. Jeremiah 2:19
D.L. MOODYI have travelled a good deal, but I never found a happy backslider in my life. I never knew a man who was really born of God that ever could find the world satisfy him afterward. Do you think the prodigal son was satisfied in that foreign country? Ask the prodigals today if they …

He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.” Daniel 3:25
D.L. MOODYThe fourth man was, doubtless, the Son of God. That Great Shepherd of the sheep saw three of His true servants in peril, and He came from His Father’s presence and His Father’s bosom to be with them in it. He had been watching that terrible attempt to burn the faithful. His tender pitying eye saw they were condemned to death …
