Without any direct revelation or Tic
spirit, am not prepared to say inlaIIi
Ibly that the great comet now making its
way toward the polar star is the one That
will strike the earth az that time, but
there are some pcculiarities connected
with this comet TINT make me very
strongly believe that 1t il the one.
la tho fourteenth chapter Of Isaiah we
have wonderful prophecy Of tile asccn-
lsion Of Satan. the great enemy Of God

the comet Is travelling. Satan Is TO be
