Study the 9th chapter of Ezekiel. These words will be literally
fulfilled; yet the time is passing, and the people are asleep. They refuse
to humble their souls and to be converted. Not a great while longer will the
Lord bear with the people who have such great and important truths revealed
to them, but who refuse to bring these truths into their individual
experience. The time is short. Elohim is calling; will you hear? Will you
receive His message? Will you be converted before it is too late? Soon, very
soon, every case will be decided for eternity.<SU Letter 106, 1909 <EU, pp. 2,
