The Rev. Dr. Tal mage's Eloquent Sermon
on Armageddon?The Regiments and
Their Commanders?On the Wrong Side.
Swords of Truth.
Washington, Oct. 11.?In his sermon
today Rev. Dr. Talmage discussed
the great conflict which prophecy foreshadows
as the climax of the world's
straggles?Armageddon. His text was
Revelation xvi, 16, "And ho gathered
them together in a place called in the
Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
Megiddo is the name of a mountain
that looks down upon Esdraelon, the
greatest battlefield that the world has
ever seen. There Barak fought the Canaanites;
there Gideon fought the Midianites;
there Josiah fought the invading
Egyptians. The whole region stands
for battle, and the Armageddon of my
text borrows its name from it and is
here used not geographically, but figuratively,
while setting forth the idea
that there i3 to be a world's closing
battle, tho greatest of ail battles, compared
with which the conflicts of this
century and ail other centuries were insignificant,
because of the greater number
of combatants engaged, the greater
victory and the greater defeat The exact
date of that battle we do not know,
and the exact locality is uncertain. It j
may be in Asia, Europe, Africa or
America, bat the fact that such a battle
will take placo is as certain as God's
eternal truth. When I use the superlative
degree in regard to that coming
conflict, I do not forget that there have
been wars all alcng on stupendous scale.
They Will Not Equal.
As when at Marathon, Miltiades
brought on his men, not in ordinary
march, but in full run, upon the horsemen
of Persia and the black archers of ,
Ethiopia and scattered them and, cry- I
ing, "Bring fire! Bringfire!" set into
flam6 the ships cf the invaders. As
when Pizarro overcame Peru. As when
Philip II triumphed over Portugal. As
when the Huns met the Goths. As when
300 Spartans sacrificed themselves at
Thermopylae. As when the Carthaginians
took Agrigentum. As when Alexander
headed the Macedonian phalanx.
As when Hannibal invaded Italy. Battle
of Hastings! Battle cf Valmy! Battle
of Pultowa! Battle of Arbela! Battle
of Tours! Battle of Borodino! Battle
of Lncknow! Battle cf Solferino!
Battle of Fontenoy, where 100,000 were
slain! Battle of Chalons, where 800,000
were ma^acred! Battle of Herat, where
Genghis Khan destroyed 1, GOO, 0001 ives!
Battlo of Neisbar, where 1,747,000
went down to death! One million eight
hundred and sixteen thousand slain at
Troy! And American battles, too near
(us now to allow us to appreciate ?heir
awful grandeur and significance, except
you who were there, facing the north
or facing the sonth. But all the battles
I have named put together will not equal
t in numbers enlisted, or fierceness, or
grandeur, or triumph, or rout, the coming
Armageddon contest. Whether it
shall be fought with printer's ink or
' keen steel, whether by brain or muscle,
whether by pen or carbine, whether by
booming cannon or thunders of Chris- .
tian eloquence, I do not know, and you
may take what I say as figurative or
| literal, but take as certain what St
John, in his vision cn tho rocks of the
Grecian archipelago, is pleased to call
[ Armageddon.
The Rival Commanders.
My sermon will first mention the
regiments that will be engaged in th<*
conflict, then will say something of the
| commanders on both sides, and then
speak of tho battle itself and the tremendous
issues. Beginning with those
I who will fight on the wrong side, I first
mention the regiments diabolic. In
this very chapter from which my text
is taken we are told that the spirits of
devils will be there. How many mil'
lions of them no one can tell, for the
statistics of the salanic dominions have
never been reported, and the roll of that
ihosfc has never on earth been called, but
from tho direful and continental and j
planetary work they have already done j
and the fact that every man and woman
and child on earth has a tempter
there must be at least 1,600,000,000 of
evil spirits familiar with our world.
Perhaps as many more are engaged on
especial enterprises of abomination '
among the rations and empires of the
earth. Besides that there must be an inconceivable
number of inhabitants in
realms pandemouiac, staying there to
keep the great capitals of sin going
from age to age. Many of them once
Jived in heaven; but, engaging in con- j
6piracy to put satan on the throne, they
were hurled out and down, and they j
are now among the worst thugs of the
- universe. Having been in three worlds
?heaven, earth and hell?they have all
the advantages of great experience.
Their power, their speed, their cunning,
their hostility, wonderful beyoud all
statement. In the Armageddon they
will, I doubt not, be present in full array.
They will have no reserve corps, but all
will be at the front. There will not only
be soldiers in that battle who can be
seen and aimed at, but troops intangible
and without corporeity, and weapons
may strike clear through them
without giving them hurt With what
shout of defiance will they climb up the
ladders of fire and leap from the battle- >
ments of asbestus into the last campaign |
of hell. Paul, the bravest of men, was
* . _ -'-Li. .*? ?;i I
impressed witn tneir rnignt ior e>n j
when he said, "We wrestle not against ;
flesh and blood, but against principalities
and against powers and against the
rulers of the darkness in this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high
places." Oh, what an agitating moment,
when the ranks diabolic move up
and take their places for conflict in the
Armageddon.
The Regiments Alcoholic.
Other regiments who will march into I
the fight will be the regiments alco- j
holic. They will be mad6 up of the :
brewers' companies, distillery owners ,
and liquor dealers' associations and the j
hundreds of millions of their patrons. ;
They will move into the ranks with
what the Bible calls the "song of the j
drunkard." And what a bloated and
soaked and bleared and blasted and
hiccoughing and nauseating host. If
now, according to a scientist in England,
there are 50,000 deaths annually
from strong drink and in the United
States, according to another estimate,
98,000 deaths annually from strong
drink, what an army of living drunkards
that implies, coming up from the
whole earth to take their places in the
last battle, especially as the evil increases
and the millions now staggering
on their way may be joined by other
millions of re enforcements, brigade
after brigade, with drunkards' bones
drumming on the head of beer barrels
the dead march of souls! These millions
of victims of alcohol, joined by the millions
of the victims cf arrack, the spirituous
liquor of China and India and
Arabia and Egypt and Ceylon aud Siam.
Other regiments who will march into
the fight on the wrong side will be the
regiments infidel. God gave but one
revelation to the human race, and these
men have been trying to destroy it.
.Many of the books, magazines and newspapers,
through perpetual scoff at Christianity,
and seme of the universities,
have become recruiting agencicR for
those regiments. The greatest brigadier
of all those regiments, Voltaire, who
closed his life of assault upon Christianity
by writing: "Happiness is a dream,
and only pain is real. I have thought
so for 84 years, and I know no better
nlan than to resism mvself to the inev
X'-?? V
itabls and to reflect that flics are born to
be devoured by spiders and man to be
consumed by care. I wish I had never
been born." Oh, the God fcrsaken regiments
of infidels, who, after having
spent their life in antagonizing the only
influence that could make the earth
better, gather with their low wit, and
their vile sneer, and their learned idiocy,
and their horrible blasphemy, to
take part against God and righteousness
in the great Armageddon!
To Kill Christians.
Other regiments who will march in
on the wrong side in the battle will be
the regiments Mohammedan. At the
present tim~ there are about 175,000,0i 0 !
Moslems. Their plain mission is to kill
Christians, demean womanhood and
take possessiou of the earth in the interest
of ignorance, superstition and
moral filth. The massacre cf 50,000 Armenians
in the*last two or three years
is only one chapter in their effort to devastate
the earth of everything but
themselves. So determined are they in
their bad work that ail the nations of j
the earth put together dare not say to
them, "Stop, or we will make you stop!"
My hope is that long before that last
battle of which I speak the Turkish
government, and with it Mohammedanism,
may be wiped out of existence. The
Turkish power for the last 400 years ;
has been the mightiest hindrance on |
earth to religious liberty and moral im- ;
provement. Her extermination isproph- {
esied in the book of Revelation iu
the figure of the drying up of the liver 1
Euphrates, and she is going rapidly, 1
thank God. In 1820, by the Greek insurrection,
she received the first destructive
blow. In 1823 the Turkoman army
of 30,000 was destroyed and the cause
of liberty advanced. Iu 1827 England,
France and Russia, not so cautious as
they have since been, at Navarino htimiliated
the Turkish fleets, and Greece
was free. Weaker and weaker the Turkish
power has become, and it has lost
Algiers and Wallacbia, and, more than
all, during the past decade, through her
cruelty, has lost the sympathy of every
good man and woman in all the earth,
and if William E. Gladstope were
prime minister cf Englahd the Turkish
government would very soon either quit
her outrages or go down under the bombardment
of the men-of-war from many
nations now hoveriDg near the Bosporus.
But if the Bible prophecy concern
? - <? *1 f li.nfnn io
ing me drying up cu mw juu^uiaua 10 >
not fulfilled before the battle mentioned
in my text Mohammedanism will
march in with sword and poison and
torch to take her part in the great At
mageddon.
On the Wrong Side.
Yea, to show the magnitude of the
forces on the wrong side, I have to tell
you that what is left of heathenism at
that time will march into the conflict.
There are 150,000,000 fetish idolators,
220,000,000 Brahmins, -100,000,000
Buddhists. Through the subliinest movement
of this century, the missionary
movement, all the time gathering in
momentum, I believe all cr nearly ail
of that 770,000,000 of heathendom will
be converted to God. But that which
is not converted will come into the Armageddon
cm the wrong side.
Other regiments on that wrong side
will be made up of offenders of all sorts
?the defrauders, the libertines, the dynamiters,
the anarchists, the oppressors
and the foes of society, the criminals of.
all nations, by whatever name they are
now called or shall then be called. They
may not before that have openly taken
sides, but then they will be compelled
to take sides. With what venom, with
What violence, with what desperation
they will fall into linp at the great Armageddon!
Is it not appalling, these
nnccnnted regiments of the earth, to be
joined by the uncounted regiments from
perdition? Can any power cope with
them? Especially when I tell you who
their commander is, for so much in all
wars depends upon the chieftain. Their
leader will not be a political accident
or a military "happen so. " By talent
and adroitness and courage and un- !
ceasing iudustry he has come to the bad ;
eminence. He disputed the throne of
heaven with the Almighty, but no one j
has ever disputed the throne of eternal j
night with this monarch, who will in j
the last tattle take the field in person, j
Milton calls him Lucifer, Goethe calls j
him Mephistopheles, the Hebrew calls
him Abaddon, the Greek calls him ;
Apoilyon. He is the impersonation of j
all malevolence, of all oppression, of all |
cruelty, the summing up of all false- j
hood. In his make up nothing bad was |
left out and nothing good was put in, j
and he is to be the general, the com- [
mauder in chief of all the forces on the :
wrong side in the great Armageddon, j
He has been In more battles than you
have ever read about, and he has gained
mere victories than have ever been j
celebrated in this world. But I guess I
this old warrior of pandemonium will j
not have an undisputed field. I guess
there will be an army to dispute with j
his forces. I have mentioned the supremacy
of this world. I guess our
troops will not have to run when on
the day mentioned in my text all the

Nov,- let us look at the forces to be marshaled
in the Armageddon on the right
side.
The Regiments Angelic.
First cf all, I mention the regiments
angelic. Alas, that the subject of dcmcnology
seems better understood than
the subjects of angelclogy. But tho
glorious spirits around the throne and
all the bright immortals that fill the
galleries and levels of the universe are
to take part in that last great fight, and
the regiments angelic are the only regiments
capable cf meeting the regiments
plutonic. To show you something cf an
angel's power, I ask you to consider
that just one of them slew 185,000 of
Sennacherib's host in a night, and it is
not a tough arithmetical question to
.solve, if one angel can slay 185,000
troops in a night, how many can
500, COO, 000 of them slay? The old book
says that "they excel in strength." It
is not a celestial mob, but a disciplined
host, and they know their rank. Cherubim,
seraphim, thrones, principalities
! and powers. And the leader cf these
I regiments is Michael the Archangel.
I David saw just one group of angels
I sweep past, and they were 20,000 char|
ioted. Paul, wlo in the Gamaliau college
had his faculties so wonderfully
developed, confesses his incapacity to
i count them by saying, "Ye are come to
Mount Zion and an innumerable company
of angels." If each soul on earth
has a guardian angel, then there must
be 1,600,000,000 angels on earth today.
Besides that, heaven must be full of an
gels, those who stay there, jnoi oniy
the 12 angels who, we are told, guard
I the 12 gates, but those angels who help
in the worship and go on mission from
mansion to mansion and help to build
the hcsannas and inthrone the halleluiahs
and roll the doxologics of the service
that never ends. But they all, if required,
wiil be in the last fight between
holiness and sin. Heaven could afford
to adjourn just one day and empty all its
temples and mansions and palaces and
boulevards into that one battle. I think
all tho angel3 of God will join in it
Fire Footed Hosts.
The one that stood wi th sword of
flame at the gate of paradise. The one
that pointed Hagar to the fountain in
the wilderness. The one that halted Balaam
on the highway. The one that
warned Lot to flee the doomed city. The
one that took part with Joshua against
the Canaanites. The one that informed
Mary of the approach of the Nativity.
Tho one that wrestled with Jacob at the
brock Jabbok. The one that swung open
the gate for the incarcerated Apostle
Peter. The one that strengthened Christ
in his last paroxysm. All, I think, will
be there?their velocities inconceivable,
so that when Daniel was in prayer Gabriel,
we are told, came from heaven to
speak to him, and if heaven be at the
center of the universe that angel must
Have traveled rnousanus 01 minions oi
miles in an iDstant. Talk of earthly
regiments on double quick march 1 What
will be the speed of the regiments angelic
when at the command of the
archangel, "Down to earth! Forward
into the battle!" those regiments angelic,
lightning winged, rainbow girdled,
fire footed, shall sweep into the
great Armageddon.
The next regiments that I see marching
into the fight will be the regiments
ecclesiastic. According to the last account,
and practically only in the beginning
of the great gospel movement
which proposes to take the whole earth
for God, there are 4,600,000 Methodists,
8,725,000 Baptists, 1,280,833 Presbyterians,
1,230,000 Lutherans and 640,000
Episcopalians. But the present statistics
of churches will be utterly swamped
when, after all the great denominations
have done their best work, the slowest
of all the sects will have more numbers
than the present enrollment of all denominations
throughout Christendom.
You see, by that time an atheist or an
infidel will be a curiosity, and he will
be looked at as we look at a man with
long hair reaching below his shoulders
aud long fingernails that are never cut
and a stare in the eyes indicating incipient
lunacy?not to be argued with, but
to bo pitied?while it will not be any
unusual tbing to see men as much devoted
to their religion as Francis Xa
vier was devoted to his religion, when
he went through the streets asking all
to come to hear his faith expounded, in
ten years planting the gospel in 50 nations
and baptizing over 1,000,000 souls.
And the groat hosts of believers will
fill the earth, making the 2,517,000
combatants that Xerxes reviewed a corporal's
guard in comparison.
The Keciments Ecclesiastic.
I see them, tho regiments ecclesiastic,
moving into that last battle. The
Lutherans headed by some great Martin
Luther yet to be born. The Methodists
headed by some George Whitefield yet
to come. The Presbyterians headed by
6ome John Knox yet to arise. The Episcopalians
headc-d by some Bishop Charnock
yet to be enrobed. The Baptists
headed by some Missionary Carey yet
to bless the world. The Congregational
church headed by seme Doctor Kirk of
peutecostal power yet to take tongue of
lire. I see them moving into the ranks,
carrying a standard striped and starred,
striped as suggesting him by whose
stripes we are healed and starred as
with the promise that those who turn
many to righteousness shall shine as
the stars, foreier and ever. Iuto that
battle on our side will roll these mighty
engines ci power, me priming presses i
of Chistendcm. Into that battle will |
also move the mightiest telescopes, that
shall bring the stars in their courses to
fight for our God.
Again, the regiments elemental will
come into that battle on the right side.
The winds! God showed what he could
do with them when the splintered timbers
of the ships of the Spanish armada
were strewn on the rocks of Scotland,
Norway and the Hebrides. -The waters!
He showed what he could do with them
when he put the whole earth under
them, leaving it subaqueous 150 days.
The earthquakes! He showed what ho
could do with them when he let Caracas
drop into the open mouth of horror
and the islands of the sea went into entombment.
The lightnings! He showed
what he could do with them when he
wrapped Mount Sinai in tiame, and we
have all seen their flashing lanterns
moving with the chariots of the midnight
hurricane. All the regiments elemental
will come in on our side in the
great Aimageddon. Come, and let us
mount and ride along the line and review
tin; troops of Emanuel and find
that the regiments terrestrial and ee
?a?
lestial that come Into that battle on the
right side are, as compared with those
on the wrong side, 2 to 1, 100 to 1,
1,000 to 1.
The King of Kings In Command.
But who is the commander in chief
on this side? Splendid armies have Leon
ruined, caught in traps, flung over precipices
and annihilated through the incompetence
or treachery of their general.
Who commands on our side? Jc-hovab-Jireh,
so called in one place. "Captain
of salvation," so called in another
place. King of kings, Lord Gf lords,
Conqueror of conquerors. His eye omniscient,
his arm omnipotent. He will
take the lead. He will draw the sword.
He will give the command. And when
he plants his foot for the combat thy
foundations of the earth will quake, and
when he shall give the battle shout all
the gates of hell will tremble.
But do noi let us 6hout until afterwe
have seen the two armies clash in the
last struggle. Oh, my soul! The battle
of all time and all eternity opens! "Forward!"
"Forward!" is the command
on both sines given. The long lines of
both armies waver and swing to and
fro. Swords of truth against engines infernal.
Black horse cavalry of perdition
against white horse cavalry of heaven.
Tho?redemption of this world and the
honor of the throne of God to vindicate.
How tremendous is the battle. The army
of righteousness seems giving way. But
no. It is only a part of the maucuver of
tho infinite light. It is a deploy of the
host celestial. What a meeting in this
field of splendor and wrath, of the an
gelic and of the diabolic, of fccsanna
and blasphemy, of song and curse, of
the divine and the satanic. The thunderbolts
of the Almighty burst and blaze
upou the foe. Boom! Boom! By the
torches of lightning that illumine tlie
scene I see that the crisis of the Aimageddou
lies come. It is the turning
point of this last battle. The next moment
will decide all. Aye, the forces of
Apollyon arc bieaking ranks. ?cc, see!
They fly! Seme on foot, some on wing!
They fly! Back OAer the battlements of
perdition they go down with infinito
crash, all the regiments diabolic. Back
to the mountains and caves the armed
hosts of earth, .crying as they retreat to
the rocks and mountains, "Fall on us
and hide us from the face of him that
.sitteth upon the throne and from the
wrath of the Lamb, for the great day cf
his wrath has come, and who shall be
able to stand?"'
After the Battle.
And while Apollyon, the prisoner of
war, is being dragged in chains to his
dungeon and our conqueror is amounting
his throne I look off upou the battlefield,
and among the slain I find the
carcasses of Mohammedanism and paganism
and atheism and infidelity
and dissipation and fraud and multitudinous
wrong strewing the plain,
and I hear the angel that staudeth iu
the sun crying iu the words cf Revelation
to all the fowls that fly in the
midst cf heaven?the eagles, and the
vultures, and the hawks, and the albatrosses,
"Come and gather yourselves
together unto the supper of the great
Gcd, that ye may eat the flesh of kiugs,
and the flesh of captains, and the flesh
cf mighty men, and the flesh of horses,
and cf them that sit 011 them."

the kingdoms of our Lord and his
Christ All the Christian workers cf
our time, you, my hearers, ai:d yen, my
readers, aud all the Christian workers
of all the ages have helped on the magnificent
result, and the victory is ours
as much as theirs. This moment inviting
all outsiders, through the ransomed
blood of the everlasting covenant, to get
into the ranks of the conquerors and under
the banner cf cur leader, I shall not
close the service with prayer, as we
usually do, but immediately give out
the Moravian hymn, by James Montgomery,
appropriate when written, in
1S19, but more appropriate in 1890, and
ask you, with full voices as well as with
grateful hearts, to chant it:
See Jehovah's banner furl'd,
Sheathed his sword. He speaks; 'tis done.
And tho kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son.
