791. NOTE

After the completion of this book, the Lord called together His twelve disciples, who had followed Him in the world; and a day later He sent them all forth throughout the spiritual world to preach the Gospel, that the Lord God Jesus Christ is king, and His kingdom shall be for ever and ever, as foretold by Daniel (Daniel 7:13-14) and in Revelation (Revelation 11:15):

Blessed are they who come to the wedding supper of the Lamb, Revelation 19:9.

This happened on the nineteenth of June in the year 1770. This was meant by the Lord's saying:

He will send his angels, and they will gather together His chosen people from the bounds of the heavens on one side as far as the bounds of the heavens on the other, Matthew 24:31.

Title: A Way Forward, Part 7

Topic: Second Coming

Summary: In the glorious future predicted in Scripture, increased presence of the Lord will push hell aside, and knowledge of the Lord and spiritual experiences will abound. The Lord's presence will be magnetically attractive to people from all over, and his kingdom will last forever and continually increase. This will be the real exodus.
