God has given His object lesson. If the world will
not heed, will not the people of God take heed?
In the twenty-first chapter of Luke,
Christ foretold what was to come upon Jerusalem; with it He connected
the scenes which were to take place in the history of this world just
prior to the coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory. Mark the words: "Take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and
drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you
unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye
may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to
pass, and to stand before the Son of man" (verses 34-36).
