it will be so between the east and
west and at war to even the wards in
the cities. The Catholics will then
see their time to strike. Is it possible
we may have more terrible times than
they, the Jews, had at the destruction
of Jerusalem? Yes, for the Jewish
dispensatiOn was, all through, a type
of the Christian era, and sure unless
we can manage to stop oppression and
wrong doing peacably by vote, it will
eventually come to this for we have
been living in what we all know to be
the last days for long time. The
world is ready, wickedness rules every

wicked adults having missed the way
themselves, will with much sorrow,
for "then will all the nations of the

to obey the word Of the Lord, The

But as each succeeding generation
passes through the 1000 years millen-
NAL the chain will grow weak and
weaker as it gets farther and farther
past until the people will become very
wicked again, and then will come the
end and universal judgment.
Many seem to think we are living in
the days of the millennial now. But
no, every nation stands by the sword,
and then we we're 20 ''learn war no

be reformed by God, and it will be of
interest to every one who has not
studied it closely, to know some
things we can positively know by
what is written. The saints will
reign over the enemies, then the
wicked will not all be destroyed for
the saints enemies are the wicked:

print it, it will interest the people.
Study the word of the Lord. The
Old Testament was written for onr
admonition and instruction and to
beget fear and the "fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom"
Then the four gospels are to beget

believe" Acts are the acts and
preachings of the Apostles; this tells
how to become Christians, and the
letters to the churches tell US how to
live Christian lives in the church.
