"The Lord`s Day"

Revelation 1:10  I was in the Spirit on the Lord`s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.

 

It is written in (1Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night). The Day of the Lord is the Day when the Lord shall rule the world in “Judgment” and “Righteousness.” The one great outstanding fact that will characterize that day will be that man will be abased and, God exalted (Isaiah 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. Isaiah 2:17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day). Whatever maybe the judgments, or means employed, the result will be that the day of “man`s activities” will come to an end, and God will begin to work: and truly, our hearts begin to say even now (Psalm 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law).

In this day, and in all previous dispensations, “judgment,” and “rule,” and “power” in the earth have been committed unto man. It is called “Man`s Day” in (1Corinthians 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self).

For this is the day when man is judging, “Nationally” and “Individually.” “Nationally” he is a failure: for at the end of nearly six thousand years finds good government to be the great want of the age, and the great problem of the nations.

“Individually,” man is a worker of untold evils, and this in the Church as well as in the world, or even more so. For, the judgment of others instead of himself, seems to be his one great object, while the wreckage of broken hearts and ruin lives, testifies to the extent of the evils he has worked.

Yes, this is “man`s day,” but, the “Lord`s Day” is coming, and John see it laid out in vision before him, when by the Spirit he is shown its course and its end, (Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet). This is the day that concerns the world, and it will suddenly overtake it, at the moment when “peace, peace” shall be its cry, and “safety” its creed.
