                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                               Chapter 5 – The Heavenly Sanctuary (continued)
                   learn  from  2  Peter  3:7-13.  Then  sin  and


               sinners  are  destroyed,  the  earth  is  purified,


               the curse with all its ills is forever wiped away,


               the  righteous  “shine  forth  as  the  sun  in  the


               kingdom  of  their  Father,”  and  from  a  clean


               universe                an          anthem               of        praise             and

               direct power of a God of mercy, shall burn and


               writhe in unspeakable and eternal torment. In


               this glad anthem of jubilee there is no room


               for the discordant and hopeless wailings of the


               damned,  and  the  curses  and  blasphemies  of


               those who are sinning and suffering beyond


               the pale of hope. Every rebel voice has been


               hushed in death. They have been burned up


               root and branch, — Satan and all his followers,
