From the Introduction: What does it mean? In the living and written testimony of God’s people at this time is frequently heard the above words: and for the satisfaction of such as have not had the means of knowing the import of the same, we give this brief explanation.
The gospel era, or the present dispensation of the Holy Spirit, is spoken of as a day. John 8:45. 2 Corinthians 6:2. This being the case the first part of this dispensational day would naturally be its morning, and the time of its approaching end, the evening.
The words, “Morning Light,” express the purity, power and glory of the primitive church; while the expression, “Evening Light,” points to the holiness of the church in the “time of the end.” The morning and evening of God’s church on earth are spoken of in the Scriptures.
