The Dragon. Boast False Prophet
Our contest tells us that three Im

from the mouths of the' Dragon, the
Rc.-iiit and the False Prophet, nnd these
three will he In accord, and ayroltollml
Ij the doctrines are represented by
••fr«*gH " These three doctrines are to
bare a mighty Influence throughout the
civilized earth. They are to gntber
the kings and their armies to the great
Battle of Armageddon.
Tlie ecclesiastical kings and prince*,
and their retinue* of clergy and faith
ful adherent*, will he gathered In solid
phalanx —Pr<»testant and Catholic. The
kings and captains of industry, nnd aa
ui.-my a* can to Influenced by them,
will be gathered to the aome aide. The
(•olKIral kings and prince*, with all
their henchmen nnd retainers, will fol
low In line on the same aide The
financial king* nod merchant prince*,
and all whom they can Influence by the
OMsit gigantic power ever yet exercis
ed la the world, will Join the same
aide, according to thl* prophecy.
These "doctrines of demons." repre
sented by the “frog*.'* will lead many
noble people In thi* great army to as
sume an attitude quite contrary to
their preference. For a time the
wheels of lllierty and progress will ba
turned backward nnd medieval re

fur aelf-prenerratlon—for the mainte
nance of the present order of things.
In giving this Interpretation. It la
necessary for u* to Indicate what ta
symbolized by the Dragon, tto Beast,
and the False Prophet Bible students
of nearly all denominations agree with
as that the “Dragon** of Revelation
represents the purely Civil Power.

philosophy of tto aame evil spirit
which spoke through Cslsphsa. the
high priest, respecting Jesus. As Cata-
phss declared It expedient to commit
a crime lu violation of Justice, human
and Divine, to to rM of Jesus and Hla
teachings, so this "frog" spirit will ap-
prov« of every violstlon. of principle
necessary to their self-protection
The crooking of these "frog** spirits of
doctrines will gather the kings and
princes, financial, political, religious
and Industrial Into one greet army.
The spirit of fear. Inspired by (he
cranking* of these "frogs." will scourge
the passions of otherwise good and
reasonable men to fury. de*|ienittot>
to thelr4 blind following of these evil
spirits, evil doctrines, they will be
reedy to ancrlflee life end everything
on the altar of what they mistakenly
suppose Is Justice, truth end righteous
ness. under a Divine arrangement
For a brief time, as are understand
tto Scriptures, these combined forces
of Armageddon will triumph. Free

which have come to to tto very breath
of tto masuee in onr day. will to ruth

of the Church, etc. All will seem to to

In our context described as tto "great
Earthquake." An "eahbqnake." In
aytnbolk* language, algnlfles social
revolution, and tbe declaration of the
context ta that none like onto It ever
before occurred. iRevelatlon xvt. IS.
19.1 Jesus described It as a time of
trouble such as never was since there
was a nation.—Matthew xxlv. 21.
Tto Lerd Will Gather Thom.
Tto false, frog-Uke teachings will
gather together Into one bout the great,
the rich, tbe wise, tto learned and the
kings of tbe earth, to battle. At this
Juncture Divine Tower will step for
Ward, and our text teU* os that Hh
shall gather tbe mambaled hosts to
Armageddon—to tbe .Mountain of Ik-
structlon. Tbe very thing which they
sought to avert by their uulou. federa
tion, etc., will be the very thing they
will hasten. Other Scripture* tell u*
that Cod will be represented by tht-
Great Meaxluh. nod that He will he.on
the pljJe'bf tto wuHKeft. Thus we read
In Dnnlet xH. I: "At tbnt time *hnll
Mlchnel (the Godlike One—\!e**lnhj
stand up’*-N*Kiiiue authority He will
take possession of til* Kingdom In u
manner little looked for hy many of
those who erroneously have t>een
claiming that they were HI* Kingdom,
and authorized by Him to reign lu III*
name nnd In HI* stead.
Jesus declared. "Ill* -servant* ye are
unto whom ye render service " Some
may be rendering service to Satan nnd
to error, who claim to be rendering
service to Cod nod to rlghteousne**;
and some of these may be serving Ig
norantly. ns did Saul of Tarsus, who
“verily thought that he did Cod a serv
ice" in |H*r*ecnting the Church. Tto
same principle holds true reversely.
A* nn enrthly king does not bold him
self responsible for the moral character
of each soldier who flgbts In bis bat
tles. so the l.ord doe* not vouch for the
mqral character of-all who will enlist
nnd tight on His side of any question.
"HI* servants they are to Whom they
reuder oervlce." whatever the motive
or object prompting them.
Tbe sathe principles will apply In tbe
coming Battle of Armageddon. God's
side of that battle will lie the people's
side, and the very nondescript host
the people, will to* pitted at the*Begln-
nltig of the battle. Anarchists^ Social
ist*. and bot-hended radical* of every
school of n-arntn and unreason, will be
In the forefront of that battle. Tbe
majority of the poor and tbe middle
cla** prefer peace nt almost any price.
A comparatively small number. God'a
consecrated people, will at heart be
longing for Metudab's Kingdom. These
will bide the Dml's time and wait p«'
tlcntly for It; they will be of good
courage, knowing the AMfcosie outlined
In the "more anre word of prophecy,"
to which they'have done well to take
heed, "as unto a light shining in a
dark place until tbe Dey dawn."—II
Peter 8 19
The masses will be geetleea of ttolr
restraints, but will be conacteas of
their owu weakness aa compared to the
kings and princes, financial, religious
and political, which will then hold
away. Beelfee, tto maaesa have no
sympathy with anarchy- They realise
truly that tto worst fora of govern
ment la totter than Done. Tto masses
will sock relief through tto billot and
peaceful re-adjustment of earth's af
fairs for tto oltmlaatSoa of evil, for
