re is a prophecy relating to this evening time. "In those days, and that
time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the
children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the
Lord their God. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces
thitherward, saying, Come and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a
perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten." Jer. 50:4, 5. See them
coming home to Zion with the glory of God risen upon them. Halleluiah!
Zion.
In thy clear, transparent water,
Peaceful, cleansing, crystal sea,
In thy sparkling beauty flowing,
Let me ever sail on thee.
There is music in the ripple
Of thy wave, O purest sea;
Here we sing the songs of Zion,
In a soft sweet melody.
Peaceful are thy streams forever,
Gentle, calmest, tranquil sea;
Harps are tuned to heavenly music;
Hear the pleasant melody.
Tree of life is blooming ever
On thy shore, O crystal sea;
'Neath its shade my walk shall ever,
Ever and forever be.
_Revelation 18:1-5, 16, 17, 23._
"And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having
great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have
drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the
earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth
are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard
another voice from heaven, saying, _Come out of her, my people_, that ye
be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues, for
her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her
iniquities."
"Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple,
and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in
one hour so great riches is come to nought." "And the light of a candle
shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of
the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee."
This holy messenger announces the fall of Babylon, and gives a description
of it. All that is pure, holy and divine has been driven out of sect
Babylon and leaves its subjects to be ravished
