Thought to Be Mysterious He
Declares to Be Plain to
Those Who Will Study.
The Kevclations is the most slan
uercd of the book ot the Bible, was
ti.e statement ol' 1 Jr. Gaebelem, in his
bi: veil tit lecture of his scries on the
tiiMe. at the V. I', church lust niKiit.
.VI any declare it to be mysterious and
bcaled; hut he said it is not, hut, by
application, its teaching become
piaiu. Jt is the capstone of the en
tire revelations of the Bible, the only
prophetic hook of the new testament,
and the Bible would be incomplete
without it. Last nixht he considered
its scope and character; tonight he
will deal with what it has to say about
Lhrist, Thursday niht about thc
thing that are coming as revealed,
and Friday night the great consum
mation, the New Jerusalem.
i'rophecy is history written in ad
vance. Revelation begins with the
church at I'cutacost and deals with
it down to the present time. This is
found in the second and third chap
ter. The fourth and iifth chapters
deal with the church parsed into
lory, the destiny of the clyirch. From
the sixth to the end of the l&h is a
series of visions covering the future
of the earth. Seven is the divine num
ber, being used fifty or sixty times in
the book. The 19th chapter is the
history of Jesus in his glory, with
the redeemed in the New Jerusalem,
the coming of Christ and the setting
up of his kingdom.
The blessings of the book arc the
greatest vision of Christ; the looking
at the things on earth with the eyes
of a Holy God. With the mad niah
after soap bubbles the world needs
a message of separation. Assurance
of victory for God and his people is
another. He declared that one cannot
be pessimistic and believe the bible.
This afternoon he gave his last lee
lure on the Acts. Tomorrow he will
consider Romans, also on Friday af
ternoon. People declare that , never
have they heard the Bible presented
more clearlv and miderstandingly.
