wake that will suddenly end, and that too, before the corpses are buried.
The victories will be cut short and the rejoicing checked.

The spirit of life from God shall enter into the two exposed and
corrupting bodies, and they shall stand upon their feet to defy
Anti-Christ and his host, and laugh at the pains of death. Great fear
will fall upon them who saw the dead so raised. This time the telegraphs
will be muffled, and the news is kept back from the nations as much as
possible; but astonishment ends not here, for over the destroying and now
idolatrous city of Jerusalem hangs a peculiar cloud, and voices peal as
thunder through the air, to call the attention of the multitudes. And
when every eye is skyward, the cloud moves and opens, as a chariot of
fire and glory, and rising in majesty and composure up above roofs,
temples, and pinnacles, will be seen the two witnesses of Christ; they
enter in and are borne heavenward. "And they ascended up to heaven in a
cloud, and their enemies beheld them." Then, while the multitude are
wrapt in wonder and all amazement, the pinnacles sway to and fro, the
houses rock, the earth trembles, the walls of the city fall, and Olivet
cleaves in twain. Then Anti-Christ is slain with many of his followers,
and the remnant fear unto repentance. "And the same hour there was a
great earthquake, and a tenth part of the city fell, and in the
earthquake were slain of men seven thousand, and the remnant were
affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. And the seventh angel

this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He
shall reign for ever and ever."

These are some of the wonders yet to come. Then how say some that
Anti-Christ has already been? The witnesses have not yet appeared: they
have not yet wrought their miracles. The Lost Ten Tribes and the
scattered Jews have not yet been gathered from all countries whither the
Lord God hath scattered them, and placed in their own land, to go out no
more, to be plucked up no more. Jerusalem is yet being trodden under
foot, the land is comparatively desolate, no temple yet adorns the city,
nor priest, nor Levite, attend at the altar. Pshaw! upon the Biblical
interpreters of this day, who wilfully or ignorantly careen through the
line of prophecies, despising the order established by God. They are
like the girl with her novel, who c
