ARMAGEDDON OF THE SCRIPTURES Startling Presentation ot Coming Events. PASTOR RUSSELL'S VIEWS. Churches oT 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 Anarchy Will Be the Result of the Warfare Until The Messiah Takes Control. ' DHflil Brooklyn. N. Y., N o v . %. ? The B. geddon." His text ?||||| was: "He gathered them together uuto ([PASTOR. RUSSELL]] the Hebrew tongue Armageddo n." (Revelation xvi. 16.) The speaker said: Armageddon in the Hebrew signifies the "Hill of Megiddo," or Mount of Destruction. It was famous as a battlefield 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 ushered 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 in the due time. DiKia accuros ns "None of the UiU U1 UiL WW, - wicked shall understand" (Daniel xii. 9, 10;?none who are out of heart harmony with God?but only the wise of His people?the "wise virgin" class of the Master's parable. I have long avoided presentation of my understanding of our text and its context I take it up now by request and because I believe it is due time to be understood. I disclaim any special inspiration. In some particulars my views agree with thos#? of other Bible students, and Id other respects they disagree. Each hearer must use his * own judgment, do his own Bible study, and reach his owd 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 rever J u: OTAA/1 r\aAnlD enceo anu wuicu ewuiavc of good words and good works. God's saintly people in these various institu tions. being comparatively few, are ignored when systems as a whole are dealt with in prophecy. The Dragon, Beast, False Prophet. Our context tells us that three impure spirits (teachings) 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 ro have a mighty influence throughout fhr 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 Catholic. The kings and captaius of industry, and as many as can De mnuencea oy luklu. will be gathered to the same side. The political kings and princes, with all 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 tne most gigantic power ever yet exercised Id the world, will join the same side, according to this prophecy. These "doctrines of demons." repre Rented by the "frogs." will lead man} noble people in this great army to as some an attitude quite contrary t< their preference. For a time the wheels of liberty and progress will tx turned backward and medieval re straints will be considered necessan for self-preservation?for the mainte nrocont nrrl^r nf thlTlSTS. UUULC Vi v?v4v c,? Id giving this interpretation, it is necessary for us to Indicate what i: symbolized by the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet Bible student! of nearly all denominations agree witl us that the "Dragon" of Revelatioi represents the purely Civil Power Protestant interpreters generally agre< that the "Beast like a leopard" (Reve lation xiii, 2) represents the Papacy But fewer still, we fear, will be read: to support our view that Protestantisn Is the "Image of the Beast" (Revelatioi xiii. 15) in our context given anothe name, "the False Prophet" We urgi no one to accept our interpretation nor shall we think hard of any whi refuse it We will neither slander no otherwise injure them now, nor threat en them with eternal torture. The: have the same right to their views tha I have, and the same right to mak them known to others. And I, fo one. will be very glad to consider nnv thins which opponents may set fort] ns their interpretations of our text. "Unclean Spirits Like Frogs." The symbolisms of Scripture, ricrht ly understood, nre always forcefu When the Holy Spirit used a "frog' to symbolira.iv represent certaii doctrines or teachings, we may be sure the true application will fit well, j A frog has a sige look, a wise look. It swells itself up in an apparent endeavor to impress the beholder. Its great mouth well represents its chief power, lised to eronk. Applying these symbols, we learn that an evil spirit, influence. teaching. tt-511 enmu from Protestant churches '< federated, from the Chunh of [{nine, j' and from the Civil authorities, all in j full agreement.

However con- \ flicting the creeds, the differences will < be ignored in the general proposition ] that nothing ancient must be disturb- i ed, or looked into, or repudiated. i The Divine authority of the Church. > and the Divine right of kings, aside ( from the Church, will not be allowed ' to conflict Any persons or teachings < in conflict with these boastful and tin- t scriptural claims will be branded as 11 everything vile, at the mouths of these | ] "frogs" speaking from pulpits and | j platforms and through the religious j 1 and secular press. The nobler sentiments of some will be strangled by the j philosophy of the same evil spirit , i which spoke through Caiaphas. the , I high priest, respecting Jesus. As Caia- , j phas declared it expedient to commit | a crime in violation of justice, human j and Divine, to be rid of Jesus and His . teachings, so this "frog" spirit *rill approve of every violation of principle necessary to their self-protection. j , The croaking of these "frog" spirits or . doctrines will gather the kings and I princes, finand.il. 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 be , ready to sacrifice life and everything . cn 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 fbrces of Armageddon will triumph. Free o7w?r>h frPA mails, and other liberties , -W. which have come to be the very breath j 1 of the masses in our day, will be ruth- j ^ lessly shut off under the plea of neces- I t sity, the glory of God, the commands jf of the Church, etc. All will seem to be serene, until the great social explosion in our contest described as the "great ' Earthquake." An "earthquake," in * symbolic language, signifies social revolution, and the declaration of the context is that none like unto it ever befdre occurred. (Revelation xvi. IS, ' 19.) Jesus described it as a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation.?Matthew xxiv, 21. ( The Lord Will Gather Them. f The false, frog-like teachings will . gather together into one host the great, < the rich, the wise, the learned and the i i kings of the earth, to battle. At this j iuncture Divine F^wer will step for- \ J ward, and our tex& tells us that HE . ! shall gather the marshaled hosts to j Armageddon?to the Mountain of De- : struction. The very thing which they , sought to avert by their union, federa- j tion, etc., will be the very thing they 1 will hasten. Other Scriptures tell us < that God will be represented by the j Great Messiah, and that He will be on the side of the masses. Thus we read in Dauiel xii, 1: "At that time shall Michael fthe Godlike One? Messiah] , stand up"?assume authority. He will rake possession of His Kingdom in a liftlo lnnborl for bv maUV Of j UiiliJIICI llitn ^ those who erroneously have been claiming that they were His Kingdom, and authorized by Him to reign in His | , name and in His stead. Jesus declared. "His servants ye are! unto whom ye render service." Some i may be rendering service to Satan and . | to error, who claim to be rendering j service to (Jod and to righteousness: and some of these may be serving ignorantly. as did Saul of Tarsus, who ' "varily thought that he did God a service" in persecuting the Church. The same principle holds true reversely. ' As an earthly king does not hold himself responsible for the moral character of each soldier wno ngnts id ms uai7 ties, so the Lord does Dot vouch for the moral character of all who will enlist ) aDd fight od His side of any questioD. 1 "His servaots 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 j side of that battle will be the people's 'I side, and the very nondescript host 5 j the people, will be pitted at the begin*| ning of the battle. Anarchists. Social-! 2 i i iato or?/? hnt-hpnrlp<i rndicals of every ' j (luu i-?\' v 3 j school of reason and unreason, will be 11 in the forefront of that battle. The j majority of the poor and the middle * class prefer peace at almost any price, i A comparatively small number. God's j * consecrated people, will at heart be 7 longing for Messiah's Kingdom. These! 3 will bide the Lord's time and wait pa3 tiently for it; they will be of good r courage, knowing the outcome outlined B in the "more sure word of prophecy * - to which they have done well to take 5 heed, "as unto a light shining in a r dark place until the Day dawn."?II * Peter i, 19. 7! The masses will be restless of their 1 j restraints. but will be conscious ofj p i their own weakness ns compared to the 1 i kin^s and princes, financial, relijrious * and political which will then hold i 1 ; swaj*. Resides, the masses have no | sympathy with anarchy. They realize ! truly that the worst form of govern: | ment is better than none. The masses I i will seek relief through the ballot and " peaceful re-adiustment of earth's at-i n] fairs for the elimination of evil, for^ :he placing of monopolies and utilities ind the supplies of nature in the hands )f the people for the public good. Tbe crisis will be reached when the hitherto upholders of law shall become vioators of tbe law and resisters of the trill of the majority ns expressed t?y Ihe ballot. Fear for the future will end the well-meaning masses to desperition: and anarchy will result when Socialism fails. The Cloud's Silver Lining. Horrible would be this outlook for :he future did we not have the infallible Word of God assuring us of a glorious outcome! Divine Wi3dom has cvfthheld until our day the great knowl?dge and skill which is at the same JUitf UlCCUlllgi UillUVUUUVO uuu vuwvx :ents.

The reason for this he states?tiiey received not the Truth in the love'of it (II Thessalonians ii, 10, LI.) They preferred their own erronedus 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 theai suffer for missing the Truth jvhicb they did not love. Thus they ?vill be in the condemned host, "fighting against God." because of their lack if love for the Truth. It is snd 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 :he strength of this delusion. Jews and heretics have been persecuted to death is opponents to Christ's Kingdom. All :he while we thoughtlessly repeated ?e Lord's prayer: "Thy Kingdom ?ome: Thy will be done on earth, as in Heaven." We knew that the Redeemer said that He would come again to make us His Bride and joint-heirs; but ?ve ignored the Scriptures. We were irunk. as the Scriptures symbolically say. "all nations were drunk" with the false doctrine. 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 is a section of the universe ic 'ebellion against Divine authority, unler the captaincy of Satan and bis as *ociated fallen angels. By Divine grace Tesus has already "tasted death foi ^very man." and the merit of that sacrifice must, eventually, grant Adam and his posterity a full, fair opportunity for the attainment of everlasting life, dll who thus seek the Divine prograir ind are walking in the light may knorc something at least respecting the "times md seasons."
