How are the people described who are developed by the threefold message here referred to?
Answer
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of
Jesus." Verse 12.
NOTE - These will be the ones who will be ready to meet Jesus when He comes. They have
heeded the Elijah-call to repentance and reform. They have become concerned, not only for their own
individual salvation, but for the salvation of their friends and relatives. By this message the hearts of the
fathers are turned to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Each becomes burdened for
the conversion and salvation of the other. There can be little religion in the heart of one who cares not for
the eternal interests of his loved ones. When this message has done its work, God will smite the earth with
a curse; the seven last plagues will fall, and usher in the great day of the Lord.
LIGHT is beaming, day is coming!
Let us sound aloud the cry;
We behold the day-star rising
Pure and bright in yonder sky! Saints, be joyful;
Your redemption draws nigh.
We have found the chart and compass,
And are sure the land is near;
Onward, onward, we are basting,
Soon the haven will appear;
Let your voices Sound aloud your holy cheer.
