To save space will be very brief In my quo
tarions and will only refer to some, hoping
that the reader will have his Bible by him and
| read the passages cited and to bear in mind
that these things cannot be- understood at
| once that we have to learn ''here a little and
there q little,' Isa- xviii 10, has to be studied
| and sought for as hidden treasures" Prov
ii 4. The subject sor this letter win be to show
how and where Christ win first come and what
He is coming for.
Christ will come as a thief" Rev. xvi Is, LIST
Thes. w, He will steal upon the world as Mos
| es did upon the Children of Israel when he
| caught them worshipping gold basis in the
| shape of calf. See the whole of the 32nd
chapter of Exodus. then after Christ has come,
'then shall he send his angels (messengers)
| aad shall gather together his elect" Mark xiii
q. before Him at his Judgment seat" Rom
| xiv 10 Cor. V 10. This will be the JUDGMENT
OF Chrlst's household restricted few to have
| it decided who is worthy of immortality / Cor
Nv 81 Of being made like Christ, Phil. Iii 81 to
partake of the divine nature, Pet. 4, to be
| made kings and priests land reign on the
earth, Rev. 10, having power over the ma
| lions" Rev &c, they will live land reign with
Christ thousand years, "Rev. Xxx 4. Christ
| appears in the pouring out of the slxthvial and
while the resurrection and gathering together
| unto his Judgment seat in the mountains of
Sinai, the merchants of Tarshish, England
Will be in fierce struggle with the Russian
gag for the supremacy of the east,
| the latter power seeking TO siege India and
| Egypt shall not escape" Dan. XII AZ. The
| English Tarshish with all the young lions (col-
| onies cannot resist the Russian gag and his
| powerful ais. England by treaty with Turk
| ey in 1873 became protector of Palestine and
| not be able to protect the Jews as the ques-
| ton: Art thou come to take spoil; hast
thou gathered thy company to take a prey; to
carry away silver and gold; to take way cattle
| and goods; to take great SPOIL Elk. xxxviii
IL, and thou shall come up against my people
at Israel as cloud to cover land. it shall be in
the latter day., IL. For the full particulars
of the invasion of the holy land by the Russian
see the 3Sth Bnd 39th chapters of Ezekiel il
reads like daily paper in war-times. Also
see Dan. xi 1915. Jesusalem is at last captur-
ed, Zech. xiv 2-3. And then shall appear the
sign of the son of man in heaven" Matt. xiv
30, this sign will be in the Russian heavens
when 'he (the Czar) shall plant the taberna-
Gle of his palace between the seas, the Medi-
iteranean and Persian Gulf, in the glorious
holy mountain, Dan. XII 40. When this takes
place the wise may know that the Lord has
come. The next verse in the next chapter
fully confirms this, and will be long before
every eye shall see him" through the public
press, though very few will believe that he is
the Christ. About this time Christ with his
accepted saints leaves the sinaitic regions
see Deut. xxxiii 2, Heb iii 3, from the state
ment in verse that Cushan and INDIAN CARA
bal were the first to submit to Christ who
then moves for the relief of the Jews s.be-
loved for their fathers sake" ROM XII IS. Go
ing in the direction of Jerusalem, the city of
the great king. and encounters the Russian
gagon forces at Bazrah in Eden, Isa xxxiy T.
S, where fearful slaughter took place, for the
prophet predicts the question that will be ask
ed: WHO is this that cometh from Edom with
dyed garments from Bazrah?" Then he an
swers the question. ~ that speak in righteous
ness, mighty to save, for the day of ven
geance is in mine heart, and the year of my
redeemed is come" lisa. xiii IA. Christ routs
the combatants and distroys the Tarshish fleet
with an east wind, the hostile armies retreat
and the Russian power and his great company
make determed stand, massed in the valley
of Jehosaphat, the valley of decision, Joel iii
9-l6, styled also "armageddon," Rev. xvi 16.
There the Lord overthrows them for it is writ
ten land will plead against him with pesti-
lence and with flood and will rain upon him
and upon his lands and upon the many people
that are with him an overlooking rain and
great hailstones, fire and birthstone, Eek
xXxVfii %. The slaughter is so great that it
takes seven months to bury the dead This is
also described as "a great earthquake such as
was not since meu were upon earth, 80 mighty
an earthquake and so great. And the great
city (Roman territory was divided into three
parts, Rev. xvi IL. Christ will hold Palestine
and probably Syria and Arabia and soon after
Egypt, see lisa. xix l. The Pope and the kings
will hold the balance of the Roman habitable.
The Jewish inhabitants account of this
great victory for them open the gates of the
city of Jerusalem to Christ exclaiming 'sWho
is this King of Gloryv' see Pisa. xxxiv ITO.
Jesus then reveals himself as their once cru.
Gifted messiah and they look upon him whom
they have pierced" see Zech xii IO-14. He ia
then established on the throne of his father
David, Luke 81. He sages the tents of Ju-
dea first Zech. xii Z; He "cuts off the names of
the idols out of the land" and causes the pro- |
phets and 1.-The uncean spirit to pass out" see
Zech. xiii 20 There is suspension of hosti- |
ltes calm for some time; to organize the |
Jewish army and restore again the kingdom
OF Israel. He then calls on the world to sub |
nit as follows: "All We Inhabitants of the |
"OIAu anu On Tue cdTIu see We when |
he lifted up an ensign On the mountain (of Ia |
raeD and when he bloweth a trumpet hear ye |
For so the Lord said unto me 1 will take nv |
rest, dn Mount Zion and will consider in my |
dwelling place Jerusalem the city of the |
great king. See lisa. xviii "a His proclama-
ton is further stated fear God and give glory |
to him for the hour of his judgment is come" |
Rev. xiv Gil. The way to give glory to God is |
to honor and obey the laws of God above that |
of man, see lisa. lviIi 6-10. BE wise now there
fore oh We kings be instructed We judges of |
the earth. . Kiss the Son lest he be angry |
and ye perish from the way when his wrath is |
kindled but little, Pisa. ii 10-l2. The Jews and |
a mixed multitude out of all GLASSES in all ma
lions will accept the gospel of the age by flock
ing to the standard of Christ, the proclaimed |
king of the world. And the ships of Tarshish |
first to bring thy sons the Jews. from far"
lisa. TX ch lvi 8. Notwithstanding Christ had |
overthrown two powerful nations Most in q |
supernatural way, yet the kings of Europe |
reflect the gospel OF the age and combine by |
giving their power and strength unto the |
beast Rev. xvii 12-13, to resist the claims of |
the great king in Jerusalem, and while the |
seven thunders utter their terrible war-like |
voices for 30 years longer, Europe becomes "a |
lake of fire burning with birthstone" Rev. xix |
20. Many will descend through false re- |
porte. and millions win have the mark Of the |
beast in their forehead by reason of the lies |
they have inherited, Jer xvi 49, Rev. xix 2O-2l, |
they have forgot the great earthquakes both |
literal and political or they have been explain |
ed away for them, see Elk. xxxviii 20-22, Zech. |
xiv 3-9. could go further into details but this |
Is sufficient. The first thing to be done when |
Christ's proclamation goes forth from Jerusa- |
lem is for the president and governors of !
states to appoint agents in harmony with the |
following: And many people shall go and
say, come ye and let us go up to the mountain
of the Lord TO the hours of the God of Jacob,
and He will teach US of his way, and we will
walk in his paths, for out of Zion shall go forth
the law, and the word OF the Lord from Jeru-
