The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush to and fro through the squares;
they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning.
Nahum 2:4 ESV
"And the three proclamations in Revelation 14, in like manner are not the general work of the gospel, but special warnings addressed to the world as the great work of our High Priest is closing up.
they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning.
Nahum 2:4 ESV
"And the three proclamations in Revelation 14, in like manner are not the general work of the gospel, but special warnings addressed to the world as the great work of our High Priest is closing up.
The book of Nahum furnishes a very striking testimony on this subject.
--The chariots are to seem like torches,
--and to run like the lightnings, in the day of God’s preparation.
Chap. 2 Now we may learn the event for which this day of
preparation is appointed, by reading the first chapter of this prophet.
That the sublime scenes of the Second Advent and the day of God are there portrayed, we think few will be disposed to deny.
The day of God’s preparation is therefore, for this very event.
Now it is evident that the hour of God’s judgment cannot precede the day of his preparation for the judgment.
Hence the day of God’s preparation, is the time for the warning respecting the judgment, and the associated proclamation to the inhabitants of the earth.
Since the time of the end commenced, in which the prophecies relative to the judgment were to be unsealed, and many were to run to and fro, and knowledge to be increased, chariots running like the lightnings have made their appearance in almost every part of the civilized world. We think this a demonstration that we are now in the day of God’s preparation, and that consequently this is the period of time in which the three proclamations of Revelation 14, are to be made.
For the day of God’s preparation for the Second Advent, must be the time for the world to be warned respecting that event."
