Jehovah God--'I AM THAT I
AM!' as he supposes it to be, because it is thus translated in the
Bibles of the world. There is no sense in that way of putting it, as
there is no sense, nothing but vanity and coming failure and fall, in
that 'Man of Sin' himself. But he has chosen to ape Jehovah-God by
using '_I am, that I am!_' instead of the true translation which has
evidently been hidden from him and which is: 'I AM HE WHO AM FOR EVER!"

"_He is Anti-christ, that denieth the Father and the Son_. 1 John ii.
22. The Scriptures have been issued by millions, every soul of you
here has had an opportunity of knowing the things whereof we again
testify. You have heard, or read, or both, (or you could have done if
you would) that he, the Man of Sin, '_would cause an image of himself

Strangely affected by the power and earnestness of this witness of God,
Cohen and his fellow-priest turned reluctantly away. In the heart of
each of them was the determination to be clear of the Jerusalem
neighbourhood that very forenoon, if possible. In fact before one
o'clock had struck, that mid-day, there had taken place a really
remarkable exodus from the city and its neighbourhood. Of these, many
were Jews, in whose composition there was deeply engraved a deep-seated
antagonism to all idolatry.

Then, too, there were many "Kingdom believers" (by what other name can
we call them, since, having missed Salvation by the "Gospel of Grace,"
they now served God, while waiting for Christ's coming to set up His
kingdom.) Many of these fled the city and its neighbourhood, for they
counted not their lives dear when it came to a case of blasphemy and
idolatry. Yet, because the love of life is inherent with the race, and
because, too, these "Kingdom believers," learned to bring others to
God, before the final judgments came, and knowing that it was written
"that as many as will no
