W. A. M.'s Dream of the Second Coming

“In my dream I saw the people of the place in which I lived in a state of great excitement, caused by the report which had been circulated that the coming of the Saviour was at hand. . . I was standing in front of my home when I saw a man, dressed in black garb, coming down the street. . . When he came to where I was standing he stopped, and, addressing me, said: 'The people are greatly excited.' . . . 'He is not going to come that way,' he said. Then raising his arms, the palms of his hands towards me, he added: 'I am Jesus Christ.' As he spoke I beheld the print of the nails in his hands, and it seemed to me that I had known him all my life. . . He told me he was going to go among the people and give them the opportunity of receiving him. . . I followed him from group to group, and, to my great astonishment and sorrow, there was not one among them that would receive him. Instead, they ridiculed him, and pointing their fingers at him, said: 'Look at the Saviour!' 'Look at the Son of God!' . . . As he came from the last group he said to me: 'You see the love they have for their Saviour; they draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.' — Millennial Star 84:51”
