FLWOOD, Ind, Nov. 20.-in an m
terview concerning the Adventist De-
lief regarding the present Turkish
troubles ana their relation 10 prophecy
Elder w. H. Ebert, of F'ranktoI' llu''
one of the leading eXponents o. that
belief, said:
1--WE Seventh Day Adventists believe
the present Turkish crisis toreshauoWs
the end OF the world, the destruction
of its kingdoms, and the second COM
ing of Jesus Christ We base our De
lief upon the fulfillment OF prophecy Z,
and see in the present movements
of the nations. the gathering together
of the nations to fight the last great
battle of the centuries-the patt4e VI
Arma geddon.
THE Ottoman power, or Mohammed-
an power. is the one meant in the nlnlh
chapter Of Revelations, TO which was
to be given a power to torment men
five months. or $50 years in propheuc
time, when it was to gain supremacy
and be given power TO Kill men S9l
years and fifteen days. The Ottoman
empire fulfills all these conditions, for
1t was founded by Gilman July "a.
1899. and for $50 years tormented men
when it became supreme, until AL
gust Il, 1910. When the S91 years and
fifteen days ended, it killed the third
part Of men, as prophesied, when us
power was dried UP to prepare the way
of the Kings of the Lost, which was
fulfilled when France, Russia, Prussia
and England forced their ultimatum
on the Mohammedan power august IL,
1910. Thus was fulfilled the first part
Of the vision of the sixth vial.
VncIean Spirits Loosed.
aThe three unclean spirits were then
ioosed and went forth to deceive the
nation, and they are spiritualism. III
hilism and infideiity. and they are do
ing their work well. They are gath
ering the nations together to the great
battle of Arma geddOn. The king Of
the south-possibly the English power
after overrunning Egypt, Soudan and
Turkey. will encamp in the glorious
holy mountain in the Holy Land, and
the nations will be compelled to bring
their mighty armies and munitions of
war against this power. and will en-
camp in the plains of Armageddon.
The nations are now moving toward
that battlefield, and all their terrible
implements of modern warfare will be
there when the seventh vial is poured
when the battle of Amageddon,
which is described in symbols in Reve-
lations Is, chapters 1920, will result.
The great city of the nations will be
that tented field, and it will be divided
into three parts-the Roman power.
the Mohammedan power, and the other
powers represented.
Cannon BAH Hail.
The hail spoken of means cannon
balls; the earthquake, explosions Of
batteries: the lake of fire and brim-
Stone will be the battlefield itself 1t
viii be a battle of humiliation, and the
kingdoms Of the world will go down
to rise no more. The United States,
probably will not be represented in
this battle, but will be among the rem
nant left to be destroyed afterward
When this battle occurs, as it shortly
must. its climax will be the second
coming of Christ.
THE end Of all things is even now
ct the door. and the nations cannot
long strange the Turkish complica-
tons, as the unrest of nations is urg-
ing them on to bring about these
things. for fear of which nations are
trembling.
