ESCHATOLOGY -FANATICISM
Some hearers are crazy after the mysteries of the future. Well, there are two or three
brethren in London who are always trumpeting and vialing. Go and hear them if you
want it, I have something else to do. 1217.91
In many cases sheer fanaticism has been the result of exclusively dwelling upon
prophecy, and probably more men have gone mad on that subject than on any other
religious question. Whether any man ever could become fanatical about Christ
crucified I cannot say, I have never heard of such an instance. 1264.644
The fact that Christ is coming ought never to make us any the less diligent in
pressing sinners to come to Christ. I deeply regret when I see persons so taken up
with prophecy that they forget evangelism. 1608.391
I reverence the prophecies; but I have small patience with those whose one business
is guessing at their meaning. One whose family was utterly unruly and immoral met
with a Christian friend, and said to him: “Do you quite see the meaning of the seven
Trumpets?” “No,” answered his friend, “I do not; and if you looked more to your
seven children the seven trumpets would suffer no harm.” 2042.503
We may make our prophetic charts if we like, but God will follow his own chart. 2441.566
