In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of preparing for
the coming of Zion. He urges the listeners to keep their lamps trimmed
and burning, and to have oil in their vessels. The preacher encourages
the audience to heed the voice from Zion and to arise and cry out. He
references the 60th chapter of the book of Isaiah, which speaks about
the glory of Jehovah rising upon them. The preacher prays for Zion City
to spread across the world and become a beacon of light. He warns
against allowing the enemy to weaken their faith in the coming of Zion
and highlights the purity and certainty of these prophecies. The
preacher also mentions that Zion City is free from sinful influences and
is being established as a place for God's people to dwell and educate
future generations.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zion's city is free from the presence of fallen women and houses of
shame, which are the very gates of hell leading down to death. Zion's
city is free from secret lodges and many other evil things that cost the
cities of all men. God is raising up Zion's city as a dwelling place for
his people, where we may educate a royal generation from the infant
school to the university.

In and in the thousands will, God willing, be sent forth from Zion's
city as 70 deacons, deaconesses, evangelists, elders, and overseers of
the Christian Catholic Church in Zion into all the world. We pray that
this Zion's city will be the heart of many in every continent. We pray
that the ancient hill of Zion at Jerusalem will soon be in the hands of
God's people and prepared rapidly as the metropolis of the whole world.

The city of the great king made ready for his coming. These things are
not only possible and probable, but they are as pure and certain as the
word of prophecy which foretells them in the latter days. Speaking with
God's given authority, I say to you, my brothers and sisters, beware
lest the enemy weaken your faith in the coming of Zion's king.

Prepare for their coming. Let your lamp be trimmed and burning, and see
that you have oil in your vessel with your lamp. Leave not no slumber,
but hear the voice from Zion which is crying, Arise, shine, for thy
light is come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen upon thee.

You may feel that you are but few in number, but I beseech you to read
together the glorious 60th chapter of the book of the prophet Isaiah,
from which my last words were taken. My brothers and sisters, consider
the closing words.
