That being the meaning of the word, it is clear that its use in my text is distinctly metaphorical, and that it suggests to us that the unloving, like those cities full of uncleanness, when they are brought into contact with the infinite love of the coming Judge, shrivel up and are destroyed. The other word 'Maran-atha, as I said, is to be taken as a separate sentence.
She wished he would go, and take his kitten or his familiar or whatever it was, with him. No good could come of his being there. Was it not written in the Word: 'If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha. She did not know exactly what Anathema Maran-atha meant, but there could be no doubt that it was something very unpleasant.
It is from that point of view that I wish to look at them now. I. I take first that thought the terror of the fate of the unloving. Now, I must ask you for a moment's attention in regard to these two untranslated words. Anathema Maran-atha.
And I urge on each, and on myself, this simple question: Have I allowed its due weight on my life and character to that watchword of the ancient church Maran-atha, 'our Lord cometh'? Now, the coming of the Lord of Love is the annihilation of the unloving. The destruction implied in Anathema does not mean the cessation of Being, but a death which is worse than death, because it is a death in life.
His soldiers conquer as the Captain of their salvation has conquered, when watchfulness and steadfastness and courage and strength are all baptized in love and perfected thereby. 'The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. 22. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha. 23. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 24.
The belief in the near glorious manifestation of Jesus was universal. The secret word which the brethren used among themselves, in order to be recognized and confirmed, was maran-atha, "the Lord is at hand." Jesus, with his exquisite tact in religious matters, had instituted no new ritual. The new sect had not yet any special ceremonies. The practices of piety were Jewish.
