EXCERPT

"The best comfort of all remained: 'The desire of all nations shall come.'
This was in a measure fulfilled when Jesus came into that latter house and caused all holy hearts to sing for gladness; but it was not wholly
fulfilled in that way; for if you notice, in the ninth verse it is written, 'The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former; and in this place will I give peace,' which the Lord did not fully do to the second temple, since that was destroyed by the Romans. But there is another advent, when 'the desire of all nations shall come' in power and glory; and this is our highest hope. Though truth may be driven back, and error may prevail, Jesus comes, and He is the great Lord and patron of truth: He shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people in equity. Here is our last resource; here are God's reserves. He whom we serve liveth and reigneth for ever and ever; and He saith, 'Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.'

'Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.'"
