ard the beast power. The
candidate for office is upheld and defends the corrupt city for advantage.
The kings of the earth are committing fornication with her. The state
officials are so infatuated with her delicacies and intoxicated upon her
wines that a true child of God can scarcely get a hearing of justice
to-day in the courts. The prophet (ministry), church (so-called), and
state, are the powers engaged in battle against God.

We are living in the time when the sixth angel is sounding. Rev. 9:13.
Soon the seventh angel will stand upon the land and sea and with hand
uplifted to heaven swear by him that liveth forever and ever, that time
shall be no longer. Rev. 10:5-7. That day shall not come unawares upon the
children of light. They will be watching for their Lord to come, when they
shall be caught up to meet him in the air and forever be with him. Amen. 1
Thes. 4:17.

What shall be the doom of the wicked when that great and notable day of
the Lord shall come? "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the
Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in
flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory
of his power." 2 Thes. 1:7-9.

This flaming fire in which the Lord shall be revealed from heaven is the
fire that shall come down from God out of heaven and devour Gog and Magog
as they are compassing the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Rev.
20:9.

Dear saint, our God is able to deliver thee. "Wherefore, beloved, seeing
that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in
peace, without spot and blameless." 2 Pet. 3:14. The Holy Spirit is in the
world searching out and bringing to the light every one that can be
persuaded to accept salvation. Soon he will have gone over the world and
gleaned out every one that is disposed to serve God. The world at large
will reject him. His mission will be ended. He will ascend to the Father.
Then as Christ went into heaven he will come again, taking vengeance on
them that know not God, and receiving his own unto himself. Then the
Savior's mission will be ended. He will turn all over to the Father, and
the three shall be but one.

"Be ye therefore also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son
of man cometh." "Prepare to meet thy God."
