About This Book

A preacher addresses a local congregation with consolation and doctrinal instruction, rebuking hypocrites and corrupt leaders while encouraging the faithful to persevere. Using an Old Testament prophecy about the fate of the wicked, he explores divine sovereignty, Christ’s suffering and exaltation, and the distinction between genuine believers and rejecters. The sermon urges repentance, reliance on grace, and spiritual vigilance, contrasts a present spiritual reign of Christ with a future millennial renewal and new heavens and earth, and affirms hope for ultimate restoration and the sustaining power of the atonement.
