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.
show that time is short. This period has been
a time of great intellectual light. Men, by their
discoveries and inventions, have made rapid
transit and speedy communication between
different lands possible. Since “the tribulation
of those days,” the light of truth has been
shining in steady rays upon God’s people. At
no time, save when Christ was born, has
greater light shone upon the world. Some will
accept a spiritual life, while others will find
very soon that should the Lord come, it would
be to them a time of darkness and despair. The
sixth seal looks forward to the very end, when
the heavens depart as a scroll rolled together;
and when the mountains and islands are
moved out of their places. When sin entered
the world, the course of nature was changed.
