The Man Clothed in Linen

Christ is not only "meek and lowly", ready to save all who call upon him, but he is also a judge most terrible. It is the pre-incarnate, eternal Son of God who appears in glory most terrible to Daniel at the end of his period of mourning, fasting and prayer. The sermon seeks to establish firmly that the heavenly manifestation recorded in these verses is indeed the same Christ who appeared to John on the island of Patmos (Rev. Ch. 1). Provoked to wrath he comes to judge his people and all the world in time and history with furious rebukes. In those times--and in such times yet ahead for us--he will spare all his own who love him and serve him.
