13. What did Peter on the day of Pentecost tell his hearers to do?
“And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” Acts 2:40.
14. What similar call and appeal will be made under the final outpouring of the Spirit?
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” Rev. 18:4, 5.
Notes.—A great work will be accomplished in a short time under the final outpouring of the Spirit. Many voices all over the earth will sound the warning cry. Signs and wonders will be wrought by the believers, and, as at Pentecost, thousands will be converted in a day.
Those who fail to heed this final gospel call, like the unbelieving Jews, will be doomed to destruction. The seven last plagues will overtake them, as war, famine, death, and destruction overtook the Jews, who, not believing in Christ, failed to heed His call to flee, and shut themselves up in Jerusalem to their doom. Those who heed the call, and separate themselves from sin and from sinners, will be saved.
Come, Holy Spirit, come,
Let Thy bright beams arise,
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
