Everything on earth must be judged by the Christian in its relation to the Lord Jesus Christ. “The Gospel of Jesus Christ reveals no earthly glory, as the prophets of old did.
... The glory has forsaken the earth, and while earth is thus left in the power of the enemy, the god of this world, and is used by him to alienate the saints from their eternal hopes and destiny, the Revelation reveals it to us in heaven.”
What are the earthly glories, and the “side-shows” of a world that lieth in the wicked one, “when the” glory that excelleth “has been revealed to us by the Holy Ghost, and we know the joy of His presence, and the pleasures at His right hand. What place is there for our rejected Lord or His redeemed ones, amid all the massed glories of the world that rejected Him, and crucified Him, and cast Him out 2,000 years ago? The heavens have received Him until “the times of the restitution of all things.”
