They shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. — — Zech 4:10
It is joy to the Christian to know that the plummet is now in the hands of our great Zerubbabel, and that when He comes forth, the world’s misrule shall be over. The false standards and false estimates of men shall be swept away. The standards of “expediency,” of “conscience,” of “every man thinking as he likes, if he is only sincere “ these, and all similar refuges of lies shall be like a spider’s web. The measure of all things will be Christ, and Christ the Measurer of all things.
How everything will be reversed! What a turning upside down of all that now exists!
Blessed day, and longed for the world’s great jubilee, the earth’s long–looked–for Sabbath, groaning creation’s joy, and nature’s calm repose! Who would not cry, “Come, Lord Jesus, and end this troubled dream! Shatter the shadows of the long, dark night of sin and sorrow, sighing and tears, despair and death!” — F. Whitfield.
