And thus too saith the LORD, the Lord Who is the Spirit: “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: ‘Yea,’ saith the Spirit, ‘that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them’ (Rev. 14:13). “For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy” (Rev. 19:10), and “the Spirit of Christ … testified beforehand … the glory that should follow” (I Pet. 1:11).
Thus saith the Lord! And therefore, thus saith too the writer of this dissertation, who desires only to become a more obedient Christian and to subject himself even more unreservedly to the ever-expanding reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.
