' * * * 'That, in the dispensation of the fulness of
times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both
which are in heaven, and which are in earth.' They fill their minds
with fancies about the book of Revelation, most of which, there is
reason to fear, are little else but fancies: while they overlook
what that book really does say, and what is the best news that the
world ever heard, that he is the Prince of the kings of the earth.
Therefore they have fears for Christ's Bible, fears for Christ's
Church, fears for the fate of the world, which they could not have
if they would recollect who Christ is, and believe that he is able
to take care of his own kingdom and power and glory, better than man
can take care of it for him. Surely, surely, faith in the living
Lord who rules the world in righteousness is fast dying out among
us; and many who call themselves Christians seem to know less of
Christ, and of the work which he is carrying on in the world, than
did the old Psalmist, who said of him, 'The Lord shall endure for
ever; he hath also prepared his seat for judgment. For he shall
judge the world in righteousness, and minister true judgment among
the people.
