Because it knows it’s just got a little while and day will break. And just before daybreak, what comes out? The morning star. What does the morning star mean? He stands alone; he’s God’s watchman. He stands in the tower alone. The rest of the stars is faded; the moon’s gone. And just before the break of day, the sun begins to shine against that morning star, and it reflects the true light of the true sun that’s just about ready to shine.
39 What is it? The morning star, the Church of the living God today, who’s the watchman on the tower warning the nations and the people. It stands alone; a man that stands for God, stands alone. But what’s he doing? He’s reflecting the same Light of the Son that went down years ago and is rising again. What is that true Church’s ministry? The ministry of that Church will be the ministry of the Son, because it’s a reflection of the same Son power, and the same Son light, that the world will know when the Son rises, what It will look like.
Oh, for a church today. Someone who will stand in the tower. “Watchman, what of the night?”
“The morning star is shining.” It’s ready to reflecting the light the sun’s a shining on the star. Now, it isn’t the church; it isn’t the person. It’s the sun that’s a reflecting on the star that reflects the sunlight to the earth. Now, it’s not the church, it’s the Holy Spirit, the coming of the Son of God that’s reflecting in the Church that’s proving His power. He’s doing exactly the same thing. The same ministry He did when He left the earth, He’s here tonight doing the same thing, reflecting His coming! Reflecting what? Not the paleness of the moon, but reflecting the same signs. What comes to pass? Not the moon, the star—the morning star hails the coming of the sun.
40 Oh, you morning stars, rise and shine! It’s time to shine; the coming of the Lord is at hand. Reflecting His Presence, reflecting the oncoming Son, giving the same signs, Jesus said it was, “As it was in the days of Sodom; it’ll be the same thing in the coming of the Son of man.”
The same ministry that the Son went down in (the same Light He went down in) is coming again in the resurrection power, and the Morning Star is reflecting that Light. Then we cry, “Watchman, what of the night?” Hallelujah!
“The morning cometh, and the night also.” Now we’re in the dark time, the Laodicean church age: man, lukewarm; not able to stand the things of God. They pull themself off, separating, like it was in the days of Noah. But the morning star shines right on them just the same. The power of God, the Holy Spirit…
41 Jesus said, “The works that I do shall you do also. Greater than this shall you do, ’cause I go to My Father.” He promised the power. He said, “A little while and the world won’t see Me no more (it’ll be dark), but ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world.”
Then God’s light will be reflected in His church, and more powerful then ever, just before the coming of the Lord Jesus. “Watchman, what of the night?”
As coming of the Lord draws nigh:
The nations are breaking, Israel awakening.
The signs that the Bible foretold;
The Gentile days numbered, with harrows encumbered.
“Return, O dispersed to your own.”
Build your hopes on things eternal,
They will never pass away.
Covet not this world’s vain riches
Which so rapidly decay,
Build your hopes on things eternal,
They will never pass away.
Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
If by earthly friends forsaken,
Still more closer to Him cling.
42 We’re living in the last days.
