Thes. iv. 13-18.

We wait for Satan to be bound, until he come. Rev. xx. 3.

And so let us watch and wait till he comes.

D. L. Moody, who is perhaps the most popular and efficient
preacher of the gospel of Christ in the world, to-day, is
evidently fully committed to a belief in the speedy coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, to judge the world and establish his
eternal kingdom. Looking over the published reports of his
sermons in Great Britain and in this country, since the
beginning of 1874, I give extracts which go to show in a plain
light the man's inner love and hope as relates to the last
things, and his warm, bold, consistent manner of expressing the
same. Thousands pray, God bless D. L. Moody.

1. Mr. Moody proclaims that the grand symbols of Daniel's,
second and seventh chapters, announce four dominant world
empires, and but four, to cover all centuries of human
probation.

2. That these kingdoms are and were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece
and Rome.

3. That these have had their day of earthly supremacy and the
last has nearly passed away.

4. That the fifth kingdom of Daniel is God's, to come in its
order as the fifth, to overthrow all previous kingdoms, to be a
visible and eternal kingdom, and to be established by Christ in
person at his second coming.

5. That the stone cut from the mountain denotes "Christ
himself," "at his appearing and kingdom," whose advent "is not
far distant," and for whose advent "the whole creation groans."
Rom. 8:19-22.

6. That the last days, described by our Saviour in Matt.
24:37-39 as resembling the days of Lot and Noah, are already
here; observing, "I do not think the day is far distant when our
Lord will return." And again, "just as judgment overtook
Belshazzar carousing at his feast, so will judgment come
suddenly and swiftly upon the world revelling in its sins."

The foregoing he preached in the City Hall, Glasgow, March 15th,
1874, before three thousand people. On the same day he preached
on "Christ's Second Coming" in the Free church (Pres.), telling
the churches that every thirtieth verse in the New Testament
bears on that glorious coming; and says the _London Christian_,
"With his usual power he showed what a mighty motive this
doctrine is to all who are wi
