surrounded themselves and others with :
bank Of fog as dark as Egypt. The Bible
and common sense join in teaching both the
perpetuity of this earth and the race Of man
upon it. See Ps. y. Psalm los speaks of
for 1000 generations. This would cover
period Of 10000 years. Daniel declares
the government that should succeed to the
fourth great empire should endure forever
and ever. The u Psalm had it as long as
the sun and moon throughout all genera
tons.
l take it then that the judgment and the
resurrection must accommodate themselves
to the theory of mans pcrpetuity. on the
earth, and that the true Interpretation is
moral resurrection brought about by
quickened intelligence, and morality like
that of Enoch when he walked with God.
When true rules of Interpretation are ap-
piled it will be understood that this is what
the Bible teaches and what humanity wants,
and is that without which republican in
stitutioas cannot be preserved.
This moral regeneration of our race will
be preceded by moral cataplasm csrres>
ponding to the mighty physical changes
that extinguish certain races Of animals in
order to prepare the way for higher orders
or species of animals.
l believe on Bible authority and obser-
Walton that the world is on the eve of just
such catastrophe. Whoever reads Is. "a,
Jer. 25, Ez. 80, 80, Mat. 26, Rev. 10 and
many other prophecies, will see wonderful
similarity between all of them and what
Daniel declares shall attend the consum-
nation of his peoples captivity, and the end
and destruction of the fourth beast or en-
pire, and the coming in of the fifth empire
which l have shown to be the American
Republic. Is. describes scene Of trouble
amongst the host of high ones that are on
high and the kings of the earth that are
on the earth. Issues they cannot avoid
just such as are on the priests and kings
of Europe now. If they would avoid the
pit they fall into the snare, and if they
would escape the snare they fall into the
pit; and, by and by, they arc gathered
together in a pit This is the grand con-
summation spoken of by all the prophets
from Enoch, before the deluge, to John the
Revelator The Hindoo, following Shem
and the Veda- expects the same event.
Ezekiel describes it in Chap. SO, as all the
kings of the earth being led by God to o
land of unwalled villages, to o people drown
out of the nations, to o country once desol-
ate but now inhabitated, to the mountains
of Israel that have always been waste to u
land gathered out of many people, that have
gotten cattle and goods and dwell safely all
of them. jeremiah says their mobiles shall
be of themselves, and their governors shall
proceed from their midst Isaiah said it
should be in the west beyond the rivers
Of Ethiopia Swallowed by wings Jour eagle)
that there should be no symbol of monar-
chy, and the ships of Spain (Tarshish)
should bring the first company Of i'm
migrants.
Finally, after Cog has found grave, and
IsraePs glorious light has come, then the
moon shall be COMPOUNDED, and the sun
shall be ashamed of itself when the Lord
God shall reign in Mt. Zion. The ancient
imperial power was symbolixed by the sun,
and the subordinate kingdoms were the
lunar orbs that derive their light from it.
The American sun is to so tar outshine
imperialism in the old world that the lunar
orbs will be COMPOUNDED by the sight Of it ;
and finally Imperialism and oil monarchy
will become black as sackcloth of hair in
comparison with the overpowering bril-
liancy and glorious light of republican in
stitutious and the higher intelligence and
purer manhood that it produces
