None of those awake to these facts, and who properly or even partially realize them, and whose hearts are in full sympathy with God's great plan of the ages, and who see that

Chapter FiveChapter FiveThe Jubilee cycles point to our Lord’s return in 1874.

The parallels of the Jewish and gospel age harvests give us valuable insight into Jesus’ roles as bridegroom, reaper, and king at both advents.

Bible chronology and the Jubilees tell us that Adam was in the Garden of Eden two years before he sinned.

Chapter FiveChapter FiveAnd now he has come! The Lord is indeed present! And the time is at hand for the setting up of his Kingdom, and the exaltation and glorification of his faithful bride. The days of waiting for his presence are now in the past, and the blessedness of the waiting ones, long foretold, is ours.

While we thus stand, as it were on Pisgah's heights, and view the grand prospect just before us, our hearts rejoice in the Lord's great plan, with an unspeakable joy . . .

Chapter FiveChapter Five. . . and though we realize that the Church is still in the wilderness of her humiliation, and that the hour of her actual triumph has not yet fully come, yet, seeing the indications of its rapid approach, and by faith already discerning the Bridegroom's presence, we lift up our heads and rejoice, knowing that our redemption draweth nigh. Oh, what fulness of blessing and cause for joy and thanksgiving this truth contains!.

Chapter SixChapter SixThe sickle in this harvest is the truth now due which gathers the wheat class, the church out of fellowship with mere professors, the tares.

The field is the world.

The tares are also gathered, bound in bundles, and burned. One example of the binding cords is International Sunday School lessons which stifled freedom of true Bible Study.

The burning of the tares is their destruction as tares when they cease to deceive themselves and others that the exceeding great and precious promises of God apply to themselves.

Chapter SixChapter SixThe nominal systems, both civil and ecclesiastical will be discarded, not reformed.

The true wheat will be tested and sifted several times after being separated from the tares. These testings and sifting will be along the lines of fidelity to the truth.

The general call ceased in 1881, but the door is not yet shut.

The door will not be shut until the night cometh when no man can work, and then the whirlwind of trouble will come during which the last members of the Elijah class will be changed.

Chapter SixChapter SixWhat a lesson is here for those who have covenanted with the Lord to serve him first and chiefly, and who are neglecting his work to strive with time and thought and means for the transient joys and prizes which the world offers. These the Lord urges, saying, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." "He that overcometh [who conquers in himself the spirit of the world], the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father and before his holy servants." "Hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."

Chapter SevenChapter SevenThat the deliverance of the saints must take place very soon after 1914 is manifest, since the deliverance of fleshly Israel, as we shall see, is appointed to take place at that time, and the angry nations will then be authoritatively commanded to be still, and will be made to recognize the power of Jehovah's Anointed. Just how long after 1914 the last living members of the body of Christ will be glorified, we are not directly informed; but it certainly will not be until their work in the flesh is done; nor can we reasonably presume that they will long remain after that work is accomplished. With these two thoughts in mind, we can approximate the time of the deliverance.

Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

Chapter EightChapter EightThey shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

Jeremiah 30:18; 31:8-10

Chapter EightChapter EightA Jewish proverb of recent years declares: "When the railway reaches Jerusalem, Messiah comes…. And, sure enough, the proverb has not much missed the mark;… The following, which we clip from the daily press, has an interesting bearing upon this subject:… A railroad is to be built from Jerusalem to Jaffa, on the Mediterranean, 31 miles distance,….So, then, hereafter civilization is to be domesticated in Palestine. The nineteenth century will arrive in those parts when the first locomotive puffs into Jerusalem.“

Chapter EightChapter EightWe are free to say that the restoration of Israel has not been accomplished as rapidly as we had anticipated…. We have never expected, however, that all the Jews would return thither, but rather a representative company of them, just as in the case of the return from Babylonish captivity--only about 52,000 returned, notwithstanding the great hosts that went to Babylon in the captivity. The returning ones represent those fullest of faith in the Lord and His promises, and doubtless will be dealt with as representative of the whole. . .
