Jesus Is Coming And Most Don’t Have A Clue

Jesus Is Coming And Most Don’t Have A Clue By Grant Phillips As the world unravels and judgment day edges closer and closer, I am reminded of the world as it was prior to the Flood of Noah’s day. “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5) If that doesn’t describe us in the here and now, then I would like to know what does. One thing, among others, I regret for my grand-children is that they did not …

“The bow shall be seen in the cloud.” Genesis 9:14

“The bow shall be seen in the cloud.” Genesis 9:14 The rainbow, the symbol of the covenant with Noah, is typical of our Lord Jesus, who is the Lord’s witness to the people. When may we expect to see the token of the covenant? The rainbow is only to be seen painted upon a cloud. When the sinner’s conscience is dark with clouds, when he remembers his past sin, and mourneth and lamenteth before God, Jesus Christ is revealed to him as the covenant Rainbow, displaying all the glorious hues of the divine character and betokening peace. To the believer, …

On mine arm shall they trust.”—Isaiah 51:5

On mine arm shall they trust.”—Isaiah 51:5. IN seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beam-ends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God and God alone! There is no getting at our God sometimes because of the multitude of our friends; but …
