Romans 14:11-12 For it is written, As I live, said the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.… The headlight of a locomotive is terrible, if you stand near enough to catch the full glare of it. As it sweeps around the "Horse-shoe Curve" of the Alleghanies, or along the edges of the Sierra Nevadas, how far ahead, and how deep down, and how high up it flashes, and there is instantaneous revelation of mountain peak and wild beasts hieing themselves to their caverns, and cascades a thousand feet tall clinging in white terror to the precipices! But more intense, more far-reaching, more sudden, swifter, and more tremendous is the headlight of an advancing Judgment Day, under which all the most hidden affairs of life shall come to discovery and arraignment. I quote an overwhelming passage of Scripture, in which I put the whole emphasis on the word "secret": "God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or evil." (T. De Witt Talmage.) Parallel Verses KJV: For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. |
