The
Evening Light
In the history of the church the Christian era is divided
into four distinct epochs: 1. The morning light age—the
primitive church in all her glory. 2. The papal age—the
reign of night, or dark superstition, known as the Dark
Ages. 3. The Protestant age, or the reign of sectism; the
period when God's church was in a scattered
condition—the "cloudy day." 4. The evening
light age, which restores primitive Christianity in all
its beauty and glory, and presents to the world the
redeemed church of God, gathered out of all confusion and
sin into the one body and fold of Christ.
"It shall come to pass, that
at evening time it shall be light." Zech. 14: 7. This
refers to the evening of the gospel day. We are now living
in that very period. It was foretold that in this evening
of time all the clouds that have hung in the spiritual sky
for centuries should pass away and that the church should
come to the summit of Zion transplendent with the same
brilliant light that adorned her in the morning of this
dispensation. "At evening time, it shall be
light."
The evening light restores tile
whole truth. True holiness and unity inseparable and
eternal principles, again adorn the church of God. A self
sacrificing ministry are heralding the pure gospel to the
nations of earth. This epoch of the church will continue
till Jesus comes. Tens of thousands have already been
gathered out of sect confusion, and are rejoicing in the
heights of Zion. Thousands more have been saved from sin
and vice, and are now happy in a Savior's love. The gifts
of the Spirit are again manifest in the church, as in days
of yore; and thousands have been healed of all manner of
sicknesses and diseases. Blind eyes are being opened, the
deaf are made to hear, the lame to walk, the dumb to
speak; and the dead have been raised to life in answer to
prayer. And we shall see greater manifestations of God's
power, as we " follow on to know the Lord. "
