Excerpt from A Cry From the Desert "There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts (inclinations), and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." - 2 Pet. iii. 3. 4. "Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them." - Isai. xlii. 9. "Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?" - Isai. xlii. 23. "So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye, that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand." - Luke xxi. 31. "Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read." - Isai. xxxiv. 16. "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand." - Rev. i. 3. "Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say. The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them. Thus saith the Lord God, There shall none of my words be prolonged any more; but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God." - Ezekiel xii. 27, 28. "To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it." - Jer. vi. 10. "Thou Wast Altogether Born In Sins, And Dost Thou Teach us?" "One Thing I Know, That, Whereas I Was Blind, Now I See." - John ix. 34, 25. Aquilla. Well, Philander, as we have now once again taken up our residence in the country, and are free from all the tumult and confusion of town, I hope you will allow me to refer to the subject which appears to have absorbed so much of your time and attention, - the study of the prophetic Scriptures, to which, as I have before hinted, I think you attach undue importance. I have, on a former occasion, expressed my opinion, that the Christians of the present day have little interest in the Prophecies: indeed, I am persuaded it never was the design of Providence, that the mysteries which the prophetic writings contain should ever become the subject of curious research. It appears to me, that the spirit with which the subject is now prosecuted is little short of impiety: "Secret things belong unto God."
