The Revelation of Jesus Christ - The Herald

With what rapture is this Gospel of the Judgment Day portrayed by one of God's holy
Prophets of old:
"O sing unto the Lord a new song:
Sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
Sing unto the Lord, bless His name;
Show forth His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all the people.
O sing unto the Lord a new song;
For He hath done marvelous things:
His right hand, and His holy arm, hath gotten Him the victory.
The Lord hath made known His salvation:
His righteousness hath He openly showed in the sight of the nations.
He hath remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel:
All the ends of the earth hath seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth:
Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein.
Let the floods clap their hands:
Let the hills be joyful together
Before the Lord; for He cometh to judge the earth:
With righteousness shall He judge the world,
And the people with equity."--Psalm 96 and 98.
It is a message that is designed to cause men to fear God--not with that slavish fear that the
creeds of Christendom inculcate, but rather with that reverential fear that regards Him
with the supreme awe that is due Him because of His infinite greatness, His infinite
mercy, His infinite love. It is designed to cause men to have a true conception of God's
character and attributes and thus give Him glory. The beneficial effects produced in the
minds of many in the world by this public witnessing to the Truth, can be seen in the
present time only in a very small measure. Enough is revealed, however, to show that
many, not necessarily consecrated ones, are being blessed and comforted and caused to
have a new, a better, a truer conception of the great God, as seen in His Plan for all His
creatures. Many of this class have been delivered from the fears that the erroneous creeds
of Christendom engendered, particularly the fear of eternal torment. And we may
truthfully say that this work is not yet entirely completed; it is still going on. Indeed, the
sorrow and suffering incidental to the great war have prepared and mellowed some hearts
to appreciate the message and thus bring comfort to some who mourn. This feature of the
work has been, and is preparing the way, so that when the great predicted troubles fully
come, a much larger number of humanity will then be glad to read the messages that at
the present time lay quietly enclosed in volumes that are stored away, possibly never
having been opened prior to this.
