In his own words
Glory to God! the darkness shall yet flee away before the Sun of Righteousness, arising with healing in His wings, when He comes to sit in the throne of His glory. The mountain of the Lord's house shall be established and all nations shall flow unto it (Isa. 2:1-6; Mic. 4:1-5, please read it) during that bright millennial day of peace and glory, which shall follow "this present evil age" (Gal. 1:4) and in which even the creature "shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." Rom. 8:21. "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Isa. 11:9. "A better day is coming, a morning promised long, When girded Right, with holy Might, will overthrow the wrong; When God the Lord will listen to every plaintive sigh, And stretch His hand o'er every land, with justice by and by. The boast of haughty Error no more will fill the air, But Age and Youth will love the truth and spread it everywhere; No more from want and sorrow will come the hopeless cry; And strife will cease, and perfect peace will flourish by and by. Oh! for that holy dawning we watch, and wait, and pray, Till o'er the height the morning light shall drive the gloom away; And when the heavenly glory shall flood the earth and sky, We'll bless the Lord for all His Word, and praise Him by and by." # No. XIII. Cruel to the Unsaved. It is objected that it would be cruel for Christ to come in Judgment upon the world, while there are so many millions unsaved.
