<noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="" /></noinclude>December 17 (318) Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a Utt1,e moment, until the indignation be overpast.-Isa. 26: 20. It is written: "When the wicked rise [since 1918], men [of the body of Christ] hide themselves." The command to the saints to hide themselves in the inner chambers could not apply prior to the Lord's coming to his temple. It is in "that day" of God's indigna- tion against his enemies that the place of safety is provided; and, since we are entering that great and terrible day, the place of safety must now be avail- able. The inner chambers, or place of security, are pro- vided for and made known to those who have received the robe of righteousness since the Lord came to his temple. Manifestly the "little moment" that they are to hide themselves therein is the "short time" that Satan knows that he has to prepare for and to fight the battle of Armageddon. Only those who discern G<>d's lightnings flashing since 1918 see that there is a place of safety and hide themselves therein. December 18 (229) Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that disposeth his way will I shew the salvation of God. -Ps. 50: 23, margin. It is those who joyfully sing the praises of Jehovah God and who give glory to his name, doing it out of a pure heart unselfishly, that are pleasing unto him. Taking their stand unequivocally and firmly on J e- hovah's side and boldly bearing testimony to his name, they prepare the way by which Jehovah may show them his salvation. They see and know no God but the Most High. They are on his side, determined to stay there, and they delight to voice their praises unto him. Be it noted, therefore, that the ultimate salvation of the "remnant" now depends upon con- stant and faithful devotion to Jehovah God in per- formance of the covenant by sacrifice. <noinclude><references/></noinclude>
