"I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the people there was none with me"—Is. 63:3.
THE saints being with Christ when he arrives to destroy the Russo-Gog invader
(Zee. 14:5), they must have joined him before then, and the judgment must have
taken place. The statement of Isa. 63:3 that he is 'alone' when he executes the
work does not exclude the saints, for they are his Body, he and they being one*.
The statement of aloneness is in contrast to the company of natural Israel—
"Of the people there was none with me."
The judgment of the saints after the Olivet earthquake would be out of order,
seeing that earthquake is one of the incidents of the work of the Gogian overthrow
in which the saints take part.
Bro. Thomas' idea was not that the judgment of the saints would take place in
the Holy Land**, but in the Sinaitic desert. -August, 1890
