bringing forth a
son, as having anything to do with Christ, and now the harvest, the
denial of the virgin birth of our Lord. It would take many pages to
mention all how our ever beloved Lord is robbed of His Glory, how
His Person is dishonored. This denial of the Person of Christ is the
apostasy. It is the very breath of the personal antichrist, the man
of sin, which we feel in these last days.

The Father's voice is not heard in these days as it was heard on the
transfiguration mountain. The heavens are silent to all the dishonor
heaped upon Him, who is in the heaven of heavens. But God the Father
looks to His people in whom the Holy Spirit dwells to honor and
glorify His Son. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to stand as bold
witnesses for Himself and to contend earnestly for the faith once
and for all delivered unto the Saints. The Father expects us that we
stand up for the honor of His Son. His voice to us is "_Honor my
Son!_"

We feel deeply impressed with this great call of God to us at the
present time of increasing darkness and apostasy. Let each child of
God act accordingly. Honor your Lord wherever you are. "Be thou not
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord" (2 Tim. i:8). If you cannot
publicly stand up and honor Christ then honor Him, speak well of
Him, in the home circle or wherever you are. O child of God, walk
close to Him! Sit more at His feet! Cast yourself more upon Him! Let
Him be your all in all! And as He is the sole object of your heart
you will honor Him in the day when He is rejected.

But this will mean something else. It means separation. God's call
to His people is to stand aloft from all which dishonors His Son.
This means much in our days. How can we honor the Beloved One if we
have fellowship with that which dishonors Him? No child of God
should go on with any institution, school or church where the
written Word is set aside or belittled. The second Epistle of
Timothy, which has special reference to our times is very clear on
this separation. No one needs to wait for a special call from God to
act and separate from the corruption of Christendom. It is all given
before hand by the Holy Spirit. "From such turn away" (2 Tim.
iii:5). And those from whom God commands us to separate are persons
who have the form of godliness and deny the power thereof. Again it
is written: "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold
and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor
