Dear Reader,
May this subject help you and me to understand that our salvation is near at hand.
The Latter Rain is about to be given to the saints, and the angel with the inkhorn writer is preparing his wings to go to
Jesus and report that his work is complete and that all the saints have received the seal of God and the Latter Rain.
Then probation will close. But I must leave this subject for the present and close with the exhortation of the prophet.

“Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgement: Seek righteousness, seek meekness:
It may be ye shall be hid on the day of the Lord’s anger.” Zech. 2:3

From your Brother in the blessed hope,
