Fragment: The Closing Verses of Scripture

 
The closing verses of Holy Scripture bring before us the verity of Christ's speedy coming, “Behold, I come quickly.” Our blessedness meanwhile is to keep the words of the prophecy of this book (Rev. 22:77Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. (Revelation 22:7)). “My reward is with me,” says this Coming One, “to give to each as his work shall be” (ver. 12).
