MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS
Of Nineteenth and Twentieth Cen
turtles as Set Forth in Prophecy.


DR.. l.. b. Voolfolk, of the Bap
fist Church, descants as follows il
the Recorder upon the shadows o
the future of nations:
If we look to divine inspiration
it will point us Enthusiastically t.
the most important event of tn,
past century, and to the most i'm
portant events of the century upor
which we are now entering, thos,
events being clearly pointed out il
prophecy.
The only event of the nineteenth
century of sufficient importance t.
be set forth in prophecy is the rise
of the great imperialism of cap
ital, centered in London, which il
the seventh head of the beast Of
Revelation; and is also cymbol.
lzed by the great red dragon.
This Imperialism of capital has
grown up from small beginnings,
until it now dominates all the ma
tions of the earth. 1t has pushed
the frontiers of the British empire
into Egypt and Burmah it is
urging on the British government
to the destruction of the Beers,
in order to gain possession of their
territories, and it is now urging
on Great Britain and the other
European powers to the partition
of China. This imperial is an anti
Christian power, and wages trucu-
lent, cruel wars, contrary to the
laws of civilized warfare.
The Imperialism of capital has
now attained its maximum great
ness, and the trumpet of political
judgment will soon sound the sig
nal for its overthrow.
The grandest events of the TWEEN
tieth century are clearly set forth
in prophecy and the prophecies
which foretell them are so nunier-
Gus, so clear and so circumstantial
as to make the course of events
from now on down to the milIen
mum as plain as the history of the
past.
The first great coming event is
the sounding of the sixth trumpet.
which is now impending +; which
will usher in the grand conflict for
which the nations of Europe have
been arming, in which the German
empire, allied with Great Britain,
Austria and Italy, will overthrow
Russia and France.
This triumph will lead to the es-
tablishment of the German en-
pire over southern and western
Europe. The rise of the German
empire is symbolizcd in prophecy
as the rise of the beast from the
abyss. This beast, which rises
from the dead out of hades, is the
Roman empire, the sixth head of
the seven headed beast, which re
ceived a deadly wound "a wound
unto DEATH whose wound was
healed so that it lived again (Rev.
1850 This dead Roman empire
will be revived in the German en-
pire over southern and western
Europe. Thus the German empire
will be the sixth head of the beast
come to life again, while it will
actually be REV. 17:8-11) the
eighth empire.
The course of events following
ng the establishment of this Ger
nan empire is very clearly set
orth in prophecy. Two events
re set forth, being the invasion of
he United States by the German
mpire, and the suppression of
Professionalism (the death of the
in Great Britain.
At that time Great Britain will
ave become a member of the Ger
IAN empire, while retaining her !
wn king and parliament. 1t is t
OF stated in prophecy whether |
his adhesion is the result of con- ]
uest or consent, but as the impe- '
ialism of capital conferred in Lon t
on is the prime agent in the c
Establishment of this empire (Rev. $
3:2 A } il is probable that it is a '
artnership arrangement to estab- !
sh joint rule over the nations t
the earth. The first step in t
out this plan, as it would Il
Gem, will be the conquest of the b
United States, $
The great body of dissenteFs in 9
