THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS
Stephen N. Haskell
“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.
While they are waiting, for heaven has seemed
to pause, John sees the same company,
precious in the eyes of the Lord, standing, as
they will stand on the sea of glass, when the
seven last plagues have been poured out. Lest
it should seem that these were lost in the
terror of the plagues, with one sweeping
glance, the prophet sees beyond the time of
trouble, when this same company stand on
Mount Zion with the Lamb. It is wonderful
how often this company is mentioned, and
with what care it is described, before the
terrors are portrayed! Its numbers come up
out of great tribulation; they stand through
the time of trouble without an intercessor; for
Christ is without the temple, and only God
remains within.
