Urgency Reframes the Gathering
- Section 133 answers "why" elders must engage in the gathering by revealing Christ will return sooner than expected.
- That urgency reframes missionary work as preparing the world for the Lord's dramatic return.
Leave Babylon; Sanctify Yourself
- Come out of Babylon and sanctify yourself; separate from worldly ungodliness now.
- Gather with like-minded Saints and seek sanctification through the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Solemn Assemblies Build Readiness
- Solemn assemblies unite learning, worship, and preparation and can build houses of prayer, fasting, and learning.
- Regular, organized gatherings help establish order and readiness for the Lord's work.
