C,v,sr THE BEAST OF krvELA-
AsIt ANT XIII. Rev. J. Hawkins, for
msrly Pastor of the Lutheran Church
in .h;s town, and editor Of the Lutheran
Jr,;,o,. Columbia, S. C., comments up
On the work as follows -.
This wonderful book Of $50 pages
bss lust been issued from the press, and
The author has favored us with copy.
The author undertakes TO show-not to
prove-that the gospel age ends in 1878,
probably, on November 18th.
The translation of all living saints,
and the resurrection of the just takes
place at that time. A period OF 40
wears of trouble, such as was never
known, then begins, and at the erd OF
the'4O years, in 1918, Christ is to ap1,,
pear, v;sably, at Jerusalem, and VIII
pour out his wrath on the vast armies
that Gather about the holy city; after
which the second resurrection will take
place. the general Judgment be held LINE
wicked sent to everlasting punishment
the world dissolved by fire, and maze
over into a universal Eden, and then
Christ and his saints commence thelr
reion of thousand years on earth. .
III .lso;,tS" mentioned in verse OF
po, vii; are not the saints OF the gos
III Cnurcb. these have been translated
n 1878. but the Jewish saints gathered
at Jerusalem waiting for the coming OF
Christ.
The "wild beast" the anti-Christ, is
TO set up his kingdom in 1911.
Those whose names are written III
the book of life, verse s, are believers
in Christ, who are carried over into the
millennial world as representatives OF
every nation; who are to repIenISh the
earth during the mlllennial period
During the millennial reign of Christ
no s'saints" will die.
Those who are converted after 1878
will only have the privilege OF living
subjects Of Christ's kingdom, but all
who are translated this year will ENJOY
the freedom of space, as the angels do,
OF course, the book Is fall OF contra,
Ji,ious, but that is a privilege allowed
70 chiliasts and the expounders OF pro-
phe,ic dates, just as a misuse OF gram
mar is allowed to poets. 49,,
Oar author says very modestiy' i
think the Holy Spirit has shown me
the correct Interpretation OF this Won
derfrl mystery; bat, Of course, We are
not intaliiblc, aud are liable 10 err IN
thinking the impressions made upon our
minds are FROM the Spirit Of God"
AS a specimen of biblical interpret"'
,iop. which is, to say the least, new ia
us, we give the following; lie i"!'y
acknowledges the two natures OF Cn.'Sl
-God-head and man hood united. This
union was effected in order that the
Goldman might suffer Tor our guilty
race. and nuke an atonemtnt /" pr
ta,.t the second Adam, who is to have
universal dominion oyer the eAlih, as
the fist Adam bad hetore the tall he
man.child Of Rev. xii: ) is the Seco31
Adam, who is botn 10 the Gi"n"ed
Church. after she is 'prcSenled as a
chaste virgin, just as Jesus was pre-
scented To Joseph after his marriage TO
the Virgin May. The divine purroSt,
tnr xbica the two natures were united
in Christ having been accomplished at
the lime the mau-child is born, the
,rv.tqrious union Of ihe human ana
d;xine nature" is terminated then, and
the rloriied spiritual man, the second
Adam, stands forth, s'pdr"fe ana aus
unct from the GOd-h'nd. AT his resnr-
T., clion, BOT only his human spirit re-
,urned 20 his human body, bat an HIM
dwell, all the fullucss OF the God-head
bodily" that tho glorious work OF atone
mept might be supplemented by inter,
cession. The man-chIld, the second
Adam. is no more than the sanctlhed
human separated from the God-head,
who ia TO have universal dominion over
the earth during the millennium, and
then, "when all things shall be suodued
INTO him. then shall the Son also HIM
self be subject unto him who put all
things under him, that God may be a!l
iu all. :,
But the most original, and the most
r;diculors part of the book, is"the great
battle on the moon" The aathor says:
Rot a shadow of doubt exists in my
mind as to the moon being the he'll OF
the Bible" =, .
The devils fly from the dark side OF
the moon TO the dark side Of the earth.
Il think" says be, ''that Satan knows
more about meteors and meteorltes, ana
the balls Of fire which sometimes hit
over the earth, and the mysterious 'gnes
fu'm which appear over moist grounds
and in grave-yards, than we poor NOR
tails do. ! verify believe, after all the
light that the Holy Spirit has given me
npou the connection which Satan and
the demons have with the moon, that
all tue meterOrites that fall upon the
earth come from the moon through the
agency Of the demons. The reason why
demons carry stones with them, in pass
ing from the moon to the earth, is that
they may be entirely hid from the rays
of the sun.
He saws that the great star shooting
of November Is, 1888, was the passing
of demons, and the same VIII occur
spain on the 18th of next November.
