The Harbinger.

Isaiah, xl. 3—5.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,

make straight in the desert a high-way for our God. Every valley shall be exalted,

and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made

straight, and the rough places plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. .

Haggai, ii. 6, 7.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the

The Lord coming to his Temple.

Malachi, iii, 1–3.

"The Lord whom, ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple ; even the messenger of

the covenant whom ye delight in: Behold, he shall come saitha the Lord of hosts.

But who may abide the day of his coming ? and who shall stand when he appeareth ?

for he is like a refiner's fire, fand like fuller's soap. And he shall purify the sons of

Levi-that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
