MARANATHA! MARANATHA!
SIGNS OF CHRIST'S COMING. THE POLITICAL SIGN. We believe that the holv scriptures are inspired of God from' Genesis to Revelation, and from our faith to every statement in them. Our Lord has *ai'd concerning the revealed tilings of God
that it is his plan to "hide them from the wise and prudent and reveal them unto babes.' We ask our readers to humbly and carefully study St. Muthew xxiv and xxv.'st. Mark xiii, and St. Luke xxi, and we defy anyone who is honest and careful iii such a research as this, to lay aside the charge that our Lord Jesus Christ has given us to be ready about this very particular moment. "When these things begin i to come to pa*s then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh." V itli startling awfulness we see the old order is"changing, ahd everywhere men are clamoring for the new. The world is getting ready for the Confederacy of the Nations to be ruled by an autocrat endowed with Satanic powers, who will seek to extinguish every trace of the worship of the true (Jod and will put himself in Ihe place of Christ." Though\our leading theologians may reject and scoff at the teaching of the '-Rapture of the Church as not being according to commonsense (as if faith is according to commonsense), yet the plain words of Scripture teach us to expect at any moment the oppning of the heavers and the manifestation of the Son of God. "A* the days of Noe were . . . one shall he taken and the other left." If words mean anything surely we are here warned of a great crisis and an awful separation of the believing from the unbelieving. We would not care to be in the shoes of the false teachers at the coming of the who have paid that the Aprs-tie I'aul was in error when he wrote his first epistle to the Thessalonians. Xor yet those who say the Book of the Revelation is an obscure book, and others who would tear it out of the Bible altogether. These do so at the peril of their salvation. "If anv man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophesy. God shall take away his part out of thp book of life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written, in tliis book."'
