The Solemn Day Approaching
Mark 13:32-33
But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.…


When it comes we know not. We know simply this — it is a fact in God's government. Slowly and steadily it is approaching. It encamps every night nearer to the race — to us — to me. We have no human almanacs that can foretell its coming. That it will come seems one of the fundamental thoughts of our mind, admitted everywhere and always. The Egyptians bore decided witness, in their books of the dead, to the coming of that day. Let not that day come upon you sleeping, said Jesus. Duty is ours — that day is God's.

(H. W. Beecher.)
