Answer: Not merely with melody of voice which man can hear and appreciate, but with the grace of Christ in the heart which God alone can see and love. No singing is beautiful to God that lacks this; while the feeblest song, though with a broken voice, that is the fruit of His love and grace in the heart, is sweet to His ear.
Question: We hear much of the proposed League of Nations. Do you think we (Christians) shall be here to see it formed? Or, shall we be caught up to meet the Lord in the air before its formation?
Answer: We do not know when we may be caught up to meet the Lord in the air; it might be today. It is the first scriptural event we are to expect. His promise is, “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:33And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3)). He will not fail to keep His word. When the proper moment of the Father’s will arrives, He will not tarry any longer.
The League of Nations now about to be formed, and current events that have taken place or are taking place now, may in a way foreshadow or look like a fulfillment of prophecy, but what is prophesied is yet to come. We must keep distinctly before us that the League of Nations headed by the Beast of Revelation 13:1 and 17th chapter cannot be formed till the church is with Christ in glory. When the Lamb (Rev. 5) takes the book out of the hand of the one in the midst of the throne, the glorified saints are there on the twenty-four thrones. It is after that the Lamb breaks the seals, and prophecy begins to be fulfilled. We do not see the Beast yet, nor the woman that sits on it, but we see how rapidly developments take place.
Let us earnestly keep before our souls the coming of our Lord for us. Very soon we may see Him, and then when we are with Him, we shall be like Him.
