THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.

suffer from the intense heat, which withers

every living thing, and prostrates man and

beast, blaspheme God and repent not. Margin

As long as probation lingered, God dealt with

men in various ways to cause them to repent,

He sent warnings by the prophets, He spoke

through His providences, He gave blessings

and then removed them, He gave health, and

when that did not bring repentance, He sought

by a bed of sickness to gain recognition. When

probation has closed, it will be seen that no

power in heaven or in earth, could have

turned the worldly-wise to the source of all

true wisdom. “Ephraim is joined to his idols:

let him alone.”
