Son of my soul. Were written by John Kibbel in 1820 and the music by an unknown composer 46 years before the fact that this fine old hymn is still a favorite. Today is a real tribute to its beauty. It is not Sleep. My last come Here now is HMS Richards. The voice of prophecy Speaker is subject, the busy angel and unto the angel of the church in Thra. Right, these things set the son of God who had his eyes like unto a flame of fire and his feet like unto fine brass. I know thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works. And the last to be more than the first. According from the great prophecy of the seven churches in Revelation two 18 and 19. Notice friends that in the letter to this angel Christ mentions the works twice. I know thy works. And then at the end of the sentence, thy works last more than the first. This truly is a busy angel, busy working for God and not only working but improving and that's unusual. The last works better than the first. We shall not read all of the letter to this busy angel. It's the longest of all the messages to the seven churches. It's also the middle letter and rightly represents the church of the Middle Ages. It is not only the longest letter, but it represents the longest time, about a thousand years or half of the Christian dispensation. We need to remember that the very sequence of these seven letters, as well as the letters themselves is significance. Taking them all together, we have a perfect picture of the church as seen through the eyes of Christ himself. Christianity which had started in such purity and power and fervor, suffered a relapse in the Middle Ages, sometimes called the dark ages. This was all for seen and foretold by the apostle when he said in his letter to the Thessalonians that day, that is the day of the Lord's appearing shall not come except there come falling away first. Second Thessalonians two, three. And he declared that the mystery of iniquity death already work. Verse seven, the spirit of apostacy, which was beginning even in Paul's day, began to reach its culmination in these middle Ages. The name th tarara means sacrifice of contrition. And the city of th Tara was known for two things, a city of brass and bronze foundries. The people are well acquainted with molten metal, famous also for the red and purple cloth made there and sold all over the Roman world. Those who read the New Testament, remember a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thra, mentioned in Act 1614. It is believed that she returned to her home, home city where a local Christian Church was soon started in his letter to the angel la tha Tara, the Lord Jesus describes himself as one whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass or molten bronze as the margin puts it. Revelation two 18. The people of this city certainly would understand that picture in his condemnation of the church of thir. The Lord speaks against a certain false prophet called Jezebel. She was also an adulterous, a teacher of idolatry. She and her children are here threatened with death. In this period, simple faith was exchanged for outward works. It is clear to every true Christian who studies the New Testament that salvation cannot be bought or earned. It is the gift of God. It comes to us by grace and by grace alone. But during this period of the church, elaborate ritual took the place of these simple principles of truth. The true situation in those far off days has been largely obscured, but is made plain by a study of the actual Queen Jezebel herself As revealed in the book of King's, first kings, the 21st chapter, she's a daughter of the king of Zan, an idolator and son worshiper. She became the wife of Ahab, the king of Israel. She dominated him, introduced into Israel the pagan religion of the Phoenicians. As a result of this unfortunate marriage, we find that Ahab himself did sell himself to work wickedness the Bible says and followed idols. But at the very height of the great apostacy introduced by this wicked woman, when she, as the representative of heath and religion, was joined with Ahab, representing the state and head of the true people of God, a mighty prophet was raised up to do a work of reformation. Elijah, the undisputed rule of Queen Jezebel lasted for three and a half years in Israel, during which there was a great drought at the word of Elijah, everything came to a standstill. So during the Middle Ages, there was a great spiritual drought for three and a half prophetic years, or 1,260 days each day, standing for a year. As we read in Revelation 12, six and other verses, just as Elijah old had to flee to the desolate places of the mountains from the wrath of Jezebel. So during the so-called dark ages, thousands of God's children were preserved in the desolate places of the Alps in southern France, even in the great cities of Europe as faithful worshipers of God through Elijah age of old Jezebel was warned and had an opportunity to repent. So at the close of the Middle Ages, the Mighty Reformation broke out, led by Martin Luther and other man of God. To go fully into all the wonderful prophecy of this letter to the busy angel would take many pages, many chapters, even many books, which by the way, are available to Ernest students. And these things are fully explained also in the Voice of Prophecy. Bible correspondence, courses and all are invited to take these courses. It cheers our hearts to know that in every time of Aposty, there are those who are faithful to God. Justin Elijah thought he was the only one left to worship the true God. The voice of the Lord surprised him saying, yet I have left me 7,000 Israel. All the knees, which have not bow unto bail, first Kings 1918 and friends that way, and every time and every period, especially this marked as the period of the busy angel, the church of th Tara, God has his chosen people, his remnant of faithful ones to all his true followers. The words of Christ come as we read here in this message that which you have already hold fast till I come. This is the first promise of the coming of Christ. In this series of messages, the great doctrine of Christ's second coming had been obscured by many theologians in the Middle Ages, but it ought to be in ears of blessed hope to all of the children of God, everywhere in every land. And March 23rd, 1743, when the Messiah was first sung in London, the king himself was present in the audience. All the people were so deeply moved by the hallelujah course and its impressive words for the Lord God ni potent reith that the whole audience, including the king, sprang to their feet and remained standing throughout the entire chorus. From that time to this, it's the custom for the audience to rise when the great chorus begins. I've heard the Messiah many times, but the thrill is always just as great as the first time. When the audience rises, as the mighty words roll out like the Wes of the sea, king of kings and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It's when the son of man comes and all the holy angels with him that he appears as king of kings. Matthew 25 31, to this church, which kept the light burning through the long, dark night comes the added promise at the overcomer through keepeth. My works under the end shall be given the morning star. It's clear from scripture that Jesus himself is the bright and morning star who is to reign forever on the throne of David. Numbers 24 17, this promise of the morning star shows that the period of darkness was about to pass away. We think of the great reformer Wickliffe, who himself was called the morning star of the reformation and of savanna in the 15th century. Another of these harbingers of light, Jesus is the morning star and shines in every time of darkness. Socrates taught for over 40 years, played over 50 Aristotle for 40. But Jesus taught for only a little over three years. Yet these three years have changed the world more than the teaching of all these other men combined. Jesus painted no pictures. Yet such masters as Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci have painted more pictures of him than of any other man. Jesus wrote no poetry, yet he is the subject of the world's greatest poetry by such men as Dante and Milton and many others. Jesus composed no music, but his name inspired such great composers as Hayden Hondo, BEOV and Bach and Mendelson have reached their highest perfection of melody in their symphonies. Oratorios written to his praise every age, every race has had its philosophers, artists and musicians, but none of them could accomplish the salvation of a single soul. Only Jesus could do that. Only Jesus could break the power of canceled sin and set the heart free. Other gray teachers could tell men how they ought to live, but they could not give them the power to live the life. Only Jesus can give power to the powerless and life to the dead. He came unto his own and his own received him not, but as many as received him to them, gave either power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John one 11, my friend, is your life dark? Is any part of it dark? Would you not like to see the morning star rise in your heart? Then open your heart to him now and it shall be done by the eye of faith. You will see him as you've never seen him before. The fairest of 10,000, the one all together. Lovely. Yes. Jesus is brighter. Jesus is pure than all the angels. Heaven can boast My glory. The shine, shine shines. Angels, As we leave you for this time, remember the power of God knows no equal. So then let us keep looking up, going forward in faith. Have faith in God known are thy works so far, have faith in God. Th th burden, deeds and war. Have faith in God to see the mourning star. Have faith. Dear friend in God, we hope that you've enjoyed our program today and we hope that you'll remember that every Thursday is prayer day here at the Voice of Privacy. Hundreds, thousands of people are praying for you and we hope you'll be praying for them and all of us, one for another every Thursday Worldwide prayer day.

And we say to one in all the Lord, bless the and keep the the Lord make his face shine up upon the, and be gracious unto the the Lord. Lift up his continents upon the, and give the peace.
