ARMAGEDDON Or THE SCRIPTURES

Startling Presentation of Coming Events. PASTOR RUSSELL’S VIEWS. Churches of All Denominations and the Civil Powers of Earth Are About to Unite In Common Cause —Powerful Influence Preparing For the Battle of Armageddon—A Reign of Anarphy Will Be the Result of the Warfare Until The Messiah Takes Control.

(Revelation xvi. 16.)

Armageddon in the Hebrew signifies the “Hill of Megiddo.” or Mount of Destruction. It was famous as a field in Old Testament times. The Lord has seen fit to associate the name Armageddon, with the great controversy between Truth and Error, right and wrong. God and Mammon, with which this Age will close, perish, and the New Age of Messiah’s glory be nshered in. He has purposely used highly symbolical figures of speech in the last book of the Bible, evidently with a view to hiding certain important truths until the due time for their revealment. But even Id the due time, the Bible assures us. "None of the wicked shall understand’’ (Daniel xii, 9, 10* —none who are out of heart harmony with God—but only the wise of His people—the ‘'wiseA'irgin” class of the Master’s parable. ] have long avoided presentation of my understanding of our text and its context. 1 take it up no\y by request and because I believe it is due time to be understood. 1 disclaim any special inspiration. In some particulars my views agree with those of. other Bible students, and in other respects they disagree. Each hearer must use his own judgment, do his own Bible study, and reach bis own conclusions. Kindly remember that 1 am not responsible for the figures of speech used by the Lord. My interpretations do indeed constitute a terrible arraignment of institutions which we have all reverenced and which embrace good people, of good words and good works. God’s saintly people in these various -institutions, being comparatively few. are ignored when systems ns a whole are dealt with in prophecy. The Dragon, Beast, False Prophet. Our context tells us tbßt three im--pure spirits iteachingsi will go forth from the mouths of the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet, and these three will be in accord, and symbolically the doctrines are represented by “frogs.” These three doctrines are to have a mighty influence throughout the civilized earth. . They are to gather the kings and % their armies to the great Battle of Armageddon. The ecclesiastical kings and princes, and their retinues of clergy and faithful adherents, will be gathered in solid phalanx Protestant and Gatlmlic. The kings and captains of industry, and as many as can be influenced tty them, will be gathered to the same side. The political kings and princes, with ail their henchmen and retainers, will follow in line on the same side. The financial kings and merchant princes, and all whom they can Influence by the most gigantic power ever yet exercised in the world, will join the same side, according to this prophecy. These “doctrines of demons.” represented by the “frogs." will lead many noble people In this great army to assume aD attitude quite contrary to their preference. For a time the wheels of liberty and progress will be turned backward and medieval restraints will be considered necessary for self-preservation—for the maintenance of the present order of things. In giving this interpretation, it is necessary for us to indicate what is symbolized by the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet Bible students of nearly all denominations agree with us that the “Dragon" of Revelation represents the purely Civil Power. Protestant interpreters generally agree that the “Beast like a leopard" (Revelation xiii, 2» represents the Papacy. Bat fewer still, we fear, will he ready to support our view that Protestantism Is the “Image of the Beast" (Revelation xiii, 15) in onr context given another name, “the False Prophet." We urge no one to accept our interpretation, nor shall we think hard of.any wbn refuse it. We will neither slander nol otherwise injure them now. nor threaten them with eternal torture. They have the same right to their views that I have, and the sjiiue right to make them known to others. And 1, for one. will l»e very glad to consider anything which opponents may set forth as their interpretations of our text. “Unclean Spirits Like progs." The symbolisms of Scripture, rightly understood, are always forcefnL When the Holy Spirit used a “frog” to symbolically represent certain

Brooklyn’. N. Y., Nov. 3. Brooklyn Academy of Music was crowded to the limit today to hear Pastor Russell’s discourse on the “Battle of Armageddon.” His text was: “He gathered them together unto a placed called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddo n.” i The speaker said:

doctrines or teachings, we may be sure the true application will fit well. A frog has a sage look, a wise look; It swells itself up in ah apparent eßdeavor to Impress the beholder. Its great mouth well represents its chief power, used to croak. Applying these symbols, we learn that an evil spirit influence, teaching, will come from the Protestant churches federated, from the Church of Rome, and from the Civil authorities, all in full agreement The spirit of all will be boastful: an air of superior wisdom and knowledge will be proudly assumed—all will croak to harmony. —Ali will tell of dire results that would follow, involving the interests of both the present and the future life, if their counsel be not followed. However conflicting the creeds, the differences will be ignored in the general proposition that nothing ancient must be disturbed. or looked into, or repudiated. The Divine authority of the Church, and the Divine right of kings, aside from the Church, will not be allowed to conflict. Any persous or teachings in conflict with these boastful and -unscripturai claims will be branded as everything vile, at the mouths of these “frogs” speaking from pulpits and platforms and through the religious and secular press. The nobler sentiments of some will be strangled by the philosophy of the same evil spirit which spoke through Caiaphas, the high priest, respecting Jesus. As Caiaphas declared it expedient to commit a crime in violatfon of Justice, human and Divine, to be rid of Jesus and His teachings, so this “frog” spirit will approve of every violation of principle necessary (o their self-protection. The croaking of these "frog” spirits or doctrines will gather the kings and princes, flnancial. political, religious and industrial into one great army. The spirit of fear, inspired by the croakings of these "frogs." will scourge the passions of otherwise good and reasonable men to fury, desperation. In their blind following of these evil spirits, evil doctrines, they will qe ready to sacrifice life and everything on the altar of what they mistakenly suppose Is justice, truth and righteousness. under a Divine arrangement. For a brief time, as we understand the Scriptures, these combined forces of Armageddon will triumph. Free speech, free mails, and other liberties which have come to be the very breath of the masses in our day, will be ruthlessly shut off under the plea of necessity, the glory of God, the commands of the Church, etc. All will seem to be sefene, until the great social explosion in our context described as the "great Earthquake.” Ah “earthquake.” in symbolic language, signifies social revolution, and the declaration of the context is that none like unto it ever before occurred. (Revelation xvi, 18, 19.) Jesus described it as a time of trouble such us never was since there was a nation.—Matthew xxiv. 21. The Lord Will Gather ThenO. The false, frog-like teachings will gather together into one host the great, the rich, the wise, the learned and the kings of the earth, to battle. At this juncture Divine Bower will step forward. and our text tells us that BE shall gather the marshaled hosts to Armageddou—to the Mountain of Destruction. The very thing which they sought to avert by their union, federation, etc., will be the very thiug they will hasten. Other Scriptures tell us that God will be represented by the Great Messiah, and that He will be on the side of the masses. Thus we read in Daniel xii, 1: “At that time shall Michael Ithe Godlike One—MessiahJ stand up”—assume authority. He will take possession of His Kingdom in a manner little looked for by many of those who erroneously have been claiming that they were His Kingdom, and authorized by Him to reign in His n&me and in His stead Jesus declared. “His servants ye are unto whom ye render service ” Some maj be rendering service to Satan and to error, who claim to be rendering service to God and to righteousness; and some of these may be serving ignorantly, as did Saul of Tarsus, who “verily thought that he did God a service” in persecuting the Church. The same principle bolds true reversely. As an earthly king does not hold himself responsible for the moral character of each soldier who fights in his battles. so the Lord does not vouch for the moral character of all who will enlist and fight on His side of any question. “His servants they are to whom they render service,” whatever the motive or object prompting them. The same principles will apply in the coming Battle of Armageddon. God’s side of that battle will be the people's side, and the very nondescript host the people, will be pitted at the beginning of the battle. Anarchists, Socialists, and hot-headed radicals of every school of reasoD and unreason, will be In the forefront of that battle. The majority of the poor and the middle class prefer peace at almost any price. A comparatively small number. God’l consecrated people, will at heart b| longing for Messiah’s Kingdom. These will bide the Lord’s time and wait patiently for It; they will be of good courage, knowing the outcome outlined In the “more sure word of prophecy.” to whicn they have done well to take heed, “as unto a light shining in a dark place until the Day dawn.”—ll Peter t. 19 The masses will t»e restless of their restraints, bnt will be conscious of their own weakness ns compared to the kings and princes, financial, religious and political, which will then hold •way. Besides, the masses have no sympathy with anarchy. They realize truly that the worst form of government is better thnn none. The masses will seek relief through the ballot and peaceful re-adjustment of earth'a affairs tor the elimination of nvil, tot

the placing of monopolies and ntfUtlaa and the supplies of nature in the hands Of the people for the public good- The crisis will be reached when the hitherto upholders of law shml become violators of the law and resisters of the will of the majority as expressed by {he ballot Fear for the future will lead the well-meaning masses to desperation; and anarchy will result when Socialism falls. The Cloud’s Silver Lining. Horrible would be this outlook for the future did we not have the infallible Word of God assuring ns of a glorious outcome: "Divine Wisdom has withheld until our day the great knowledge and skill which is at the. same time breeding millionaires and discontents. Had God lifted the veil a thousand years sooner, the wqrld would have lined np for Its Armageddon a thousand years sooner. But that would have been too sood for the Divine purpose, because Messiah’s Kingdom is, to be the great Thousand-Year-Sabbatb of the world's history. God in kindness veiled our eyes until the time when the gathering to Armageddon would immediately precede Messiah’s taking to Himself His great power, and beginning His reign.—Revelation xi. 17. 18. “Send Them Strong Delusions." St. Paul wrote of oui time, that it would be one of serious trial and testing, to many professing to be Christians. The reason for this he states—they received not the Truth in the love of it (II Thessalonians ii, 10, 11.) They preferred their own erroneous theories, the Apostle explains, and therefore God will give them over to a “strong delusion.” and let them believe the lie which they preferred, and let them suffer for missing the Truth which they did not love. Thus they will be in the condemned host, “fighting against God,” because of their lack of love for the Truth. It Is sad to say that we all as Christians have been laboring under a thorough delusion respecting God’s Plan. We have claimed that Christ set up His Church in Kingdom power, and that the Church has been reigning on the earth as His representative. On the strength of this delusion. Jews and heretics have - been persecuted to death as opponents to Christ’s Kingdom. All the while we thoughtlessly repeated the Lord’s prayer: “Thy Kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth, as in Heaven ” We knew that the Redeemer said Hut He would come again to make ii* His Bride and joint-heirs; but we lgi)i>red the Scriptures. We were drunk, as rhe Scriptures symbolically say. “ali nations were drunk” with the false din-trine, it is this false doctrine that will constitute the “frog” spirit which soon will begin to croak and to prepare for Armageddon The Bible presentation is that the world I- a section of the universe in rebellion against Divine authority, under the captaincy of Satan and his associated fallen angels. By Divine grace Jesus has already “tasted death for every man.” and the merit of that sacrifice tnust. eventually, grant Adam and his posterity a full, fair opportunity for the attainment of everlasting life. All who thus see the Divine program and are walking in the light may know something at least respecting the “times and seasons.” These brethren “are not in darkness, that that day [and that battle of Armageddon] should overtake” them “as a thief’ unawares. Armageddon Not Yet but Soon. For forty years the Armageddon forces have been mustering for both sides of the conflict. Strikes, lockouts and riots, great and small, have been merely incidental skirmishes as the belligerent parties crossed each other’s paths. Court mid Army scandals in Europe. Insurance. Trust and Court scandals in America, have shaken public confidence. Dynamite plots, charged by turns on employees and on employers. have further shaken confidence and tended to make each distrustful of the other. Bitter and angry feelings on both sides are more and more manifest The lines of battle are dally becoming more distinctly marked. Nevertheless Armageddon cannot yet be fought. Other matters intervene, according to prophecy. t Gentile times have still two years to run. The “Image of the Beast” of our context must yet receive life— power The Image must be transformed from a mere mechanism to a living force Protestant Federation realizes that Its organization will still be futile unless It receive vitalization—unless its clergy directly or indirectly shall be recognized as possessed of apostolic ordination and authority to teach. This the prophecy indicates will come from the two horned beast, which, we believe, symbolically represents the Church of England. High-handed activities of Protestantism and Catholicism, operating In conjunction for the. suppression of human liberties, await this vivifying of the Image. This may come soon, bnt Armageddon cannbt precede it. bnt must follow—perhaps a year after it. according to our view of the Prophecy. Still another thing intervenes: Although the Jews are gradually flowing Into Palestine, gradually obtaining control of the land of Canaan, and a! though reports say that already nineteen millionaires are there, nevertheless prophecy requires aD evidently larger number of wealthy Hebrews to be there before the Armageddon crisis be reached. Indeed we understand that “Jacob’s trouble” In- the Holy Land will come at the very close of Armageddon. Then Messiah's King dom will begin to be manifested Thenceforth Israel in tba land of promise will gradually rise from the ashes of the past to the grandeur of -proph ecy. Through its Divinely appointed princes Messiah’s Kingdom, all-power-ful but invisible, will t*egin to roll •way the curse and to Uft np mankind.

Landy Magee is still very sore as a result of the fall he experienced at the Makeever hotel two weeks ago. He is especially badly bruised through the hips, about the left shoulder and entirely around theVbody at the waist line. His neck also gives him some trouble. He made a trip down town in the bus today and it is about as much as he can* do to walk with the use of two canes. Landy has been our leading steeplejack for many years and this is the first fall he ever received. He had painted the flagstaff at the courthouse and the water tank and scaled various lofty peaks without accideht. 4 He says that he has made his last climb, however, and that terra firma is good enough for him hereafter. It is quite probable that he will not be able to do any work before spring. HOW TO OOHQUIB BKSmUTXHI AT TOUI OWH HOME.
