"How Great is That Darkness"

We are warned in God’s Word that in the last days “perilous times shall come.” Surely we are living in these days, and our hearts are sorely troubled when we find many around us drawn aside. How subtle is the error known as “Millennial Dawn” in its departure from God’s truth. I can only state briefly that this error denies the deity of the Lord Jesus, the humanity of the Lord, and the resurrection of Christ. How we long to warn others!
Pastor Russell writes: “People cannot see the divine plan in studying the Bible by itself,” and writes of those who read his books: “After he has read them for ten years, if he lays them aside and goes to the Bible alone, though he has understood his Bible for ten years, experience shows that within two years he goes into darkness. On the other hand, if he had merely read scripture studies with the references, and had not read a page of the Bible, he would be in the light at the end of two years, because he would have the light of the Scriptures.”
How solemn God’s Word: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for darkness.” It seems almost incredible that those who profess to belong to Christ could be led aside by such a delusion. How blessed to rest upon God’s infallible Word, upon the Son of God, who is the Light of the world (read John 8:1212Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)). A. A. L.
