IS THE END OF THE WORLD
AT HAND a.?
J. w. Huff Says the Bible Tells
Us it is Very Close Upon Us.

who arises i'll this, the latter pal I
of the nineteenth century and
proclaims the end of the world
is at hand, is generally regarded
as fool, and ridicule and con-
tumely are his portion.
We live in an age of facts.
No statement not susceptible or
proof merits serious attention.
Perhaps we retoo cruelty analy-
tical. But it is better SO, for
truth then reigns supreme.
When l proclaim the fast ap-
preaching end Of the world, do
SO on the authority of the very
foundation of our religious be-
lief. the Bible.
There are two theories of the
millenn um promised us by
scripture. The post~mlllennlun
theory is that advanced by those
who believe the preaching OF
the gospel by the various chur
ches will ultimately evargel1ze
the world and bring about the
conditions that will enable the
Saviour to conduct his millen>
MUM reign OF a thousand years
OH earth. The re-millennluln
theory is that which l desire to
present as being the one taught
in the Scripture of eternal truth.
But as things are now-and
all admit that both III Europe
and America the future is, from
a material point of view, darker
than ever before-they will get
worse and worse until the end
comes.
One of the most important
signs just preceding the end of
the world is the one spoken Of
as the prophesy of Daniel re-
garding the abomination of des>
olation. This sign (or signs)
began when the daily sacrifice
was Cor shall beg taken away
DAN, 12~ID. This daily sacri~
fee was taken away during the
Worlds Fair, when the Sabbath
law was abrogated by our courts
and ratified by all nations rep
resented at that institution.
Thus the daily sacrifice was
taken away and the abOmina~
ton of desolation set i'll, which
was to last 1900 days dan.
12ID. Those days will enc
the coming winter. We cannot
know the day Or hour (Mat.
e4-36), but We may approximate
the week or month, perhaps
The abominatlon of desolatior
is upon us, and may be seen OF
known by the suffering and starv
wing nations of the earth, the
result of the boarding of the
millions OF money or riches fo1
the last days, spoken OF in the
fifth chapter of James and Reeve

This desolation is an abomi
nation to God, as it is the resul
of mans oppression i'll his rul
ings on finance, so that the poo
cannot get a sufficiency of th'
abundance provided by the Lord
