The Great Falling Away, Today

Ch. 11

Highway of Holiness

From Isaiah: "Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: Behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called THE WAY OF HOLINESS; the unclean (who walk after the flesh) shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those (who walk in holiness); the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion will be there (powers of darkness), nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: AND THE RANSOMED OF THE LORD SHALL RETURN, AND COME TO ZION WITH SONGS AND EVERLASTING JOY UPON THEIR HEADS: THEY SHALL OBTAIN JOY AND GLADNESS, AND SORROW AND SIGHING SHALL FLEE AWAY" (Isa. 35:3,4,8-10).  

"I have set watchmen upon thy walls, 0 Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem (His Church) a praise in the earth. Go through, go' through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard (the Word of God) for the people. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: arid thou shalt be called, SOUGHT OUT, A CITY NOT FORSAKEN" (Isa. 62:6, 7, 10-12). 

Daniel prayed: "Now therefore, 0 our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. 0 my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. 0 Lord, hear; 0 Lord, forgive; 0 Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, 0 my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name" (Dan. 9:17-19). From Matthew: "0 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee... Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, YE SHALL NOT SEE ME HENCEFORTH, TILL YE SHALL SAY, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!" (Matt. 23:37-39).  BACK
