This Generation

Again the question: Is this not a voice for the ears of this generation? "That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15. Jesus, as a Holy One and a Watcher again on this occasion (as in Matt. 24:1, 2) inspected the fair tree of man's worship and joy. And in spirit He said, "Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit." My soul is deeply assured He is so doing at this moment, touching all the progress, advancement, boasted toils and successes of this present hour. He that sits in the heavens has another thought about it all than men vainly imagine. He is not about to sanction, but to judge the world in this its day, a day near at hand, of loftiest advancement and exaltation.
