Synopsis
Excerpt from Prophetic Pearls: Poetic Works
Revolution of Ages
From Jordan's lonely banks, out in the desert land,
Came forth the joyful shout: "God's kingdom's now at hand!
Prepare for His approach, and make ye straight His way!
Behold the light of dawn proclaims the golden day."
"Its splendid crystal beams burst out from Zion's hill,
And dews, of heavenly grace, on Juda's land distill.
The living streams proceed, with healing in their flow.
And thirsty lands rejoice as rivers onward go."
A joyful sound it was; through all the land it went,
Pleading, in earnest tones, that sinners should repent.
The faithful ones went out and gladly heard the news;
God's word, of peace and grace, to meek and lowly Jews.
How eagerly they came, thronging the desert shore.
Assemblies so devout theyd never seen before.
Nor had they heard till then such words as John now spake;
Nor seen such power of God to make men fear and quake.
Great day of jubilee, a day of joy and song,
And glad hosannas rang out from the happy throng.
The mighty fiend of hell, then perched on heavenly throne,
Would soon be cast to earth and Jesus reign alone.
For Satan long had been the chief and mighy prince,
Upon exalted throne - a ghostly throne - from whence
He ruled with majesty and rod of power supreme;
O'er tribes and nations hed establish hells
