Pastor’s Study A reporter in describing the recent catastrophe in Mu nich said, “It reminded one of the end of the World.” People stepped out of the street-car and were immediately consum ed by the burning mass. Around the globe people were in a state of shock. .Why did such an incident call attention to the end of the world? The Bible says, ‘The Lord Jesus shall be re vealed from Heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; . . Further more, all evil-doers “shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: ...” Do you see the likeness. For the child of God the ending is quite different. In stead of firey vengeance it is everlasting joy in the presence of the Lord.
