unto Melchisedek. And God is still the same. O, rejoice and enter ye in at the strait gate, for it is religion that makes the man. Then hear ye the word of the Lord, bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.—Hear Jeremiah upon the subject of marriage. God said go and proclaim the words toward the north and say, return thou backsliding Israel Again. Turn, O, backsliding children, saith the Lord, for I am married unto you, and as young Timothy said, shall the anti-Christ takeaway the Lord's bride? He said no! for we are commanded to leave the word of God and turn ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee. O, sinners, hear ye the call of your Lord. Isa. 45: 22, 23; and this is a great call indeed,. for to leave the dark system of purgatory, Deut. 22: 22; lest you forever burn; for here is a great marriage, indeed, and all are called. O, come to the great marriage supper of the Lamb. Rev. 19: 7, 8, 9.
Dear beloved brethren, we must not neglect this supper, but hold out a little longer, until we shall reach the great port of our Redeemer, then sorrow and death will be over. O! then the anti-Christ will be out of our sight, and what an awful day it will be with them in the resurrection!—Math. 7: 12. "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied?" this is to remember the great day at the tribunal of God. Math. 25: 41. The end of anti-Christ. Rom. 2: 1, 4 5. I hear rumbling, said anti-Christ! Another said, what is the matter anti? I am undone! Why? I preached the doctrines of purgatory and my bible has tailed, and I have no warrant of scripture for ail my preaching purgatory unto the people! And is this purgatory? Down, down to Ps. 9: 17 "The wicked shall be turned down to hell, and all the nations that forget God." Then anti cries out, O! my people, what a great mistake we have made! Here we s go down to get our wages, for there is hard nuts to crack! Is this the wages of the parting of man and wife! For there is no warrant in the scriptures for to do it! This is the great scene of anti-Christ. See Math. 11: 23; 2 Pet. 2: 4; Jude 1: 6, 7, 8.
