Coming OF Christ Is Near

Be the Oracle of God-..His
Revelations.
Special to Times Republican.

iSbulS, ol lHiS pace, says the SecOl(
coming of Christ is near at hand. H,
declares himself to be the oracle o
was chosen by Christ to be His servan
end to give His word to all who believ,
in Him.
He announces with all the authorit:
of one chosen to be the oracle of Goo
that we are now living in the latter
days and that Christs second coming
may be looked for at any time.
Mr.. Salisbury, who declares himself
to have received direct revelation from
Christ, is about 65 years of age. a well
educated man and a prosperous farm
er living near the Blackhawk county
line in Grundy county. A few years
ago he had large number of tracts
printed, setting forth his reason for
belief in the speedy second coming OF
the Savior, and these were distributed
TO his friends.
Salisbury has been writing letters to
Rev. j. a. Earl of Waterloo, in which
he gives the grounds for his belief.
Mr.. Salisbury argues the second COM
ing of Christ as follows:
When Christ was in the flesh He
said that day was known only to the
father and his coming would be as a
thief in the night
This is conclusive that no man in
the flesh will know the day of Christs
coming until the seventh trumpet
sounds. Nevertheless, a great many
are looking for his appearance, and
more than 1000 are writing OF
his coming.
Therefore, it should be interesting to
hear from one who has been instructed
by Christ to write of the Kingdom of
Heaven on Earth
Northumberland was degraded $500
days. He was typical man. His de-
graduation was typical of the $500 years
of the degradation of the great temple
IF Solomon.
Excellent majesty was added to
likewise great glory
will be added to the temple when Chrisi
comes; i. e.. New Jerusalem Histor-
ans tell us the $500 years are about
Up.
Again Daniel tells us the $500 years
after the daily was taken away the
would be cleansed'
Malachi was the last of the proph-
Its. The Holy Ghost daily bread of
ife) was given to no man from Malachi
Until near Christs first coming. Mala-
hi lived about 400 years B. C.
Again, Rev. 11:2 tells us that the
,ourt of Solomon's temple was given
o the Genties for 1905 years. His
DRY tells US that Saracens took Jeru-
alem in 637 or 63S, and built the
Mosque of Omar, in the court of Sol
mons temple. That mosque still
tands in the court of Solomon's tenn
lie. That prophecy was fulfilled A. D.
S97 or 1898.
Daniel 1877 tells us that 1860 years
fer God shall finlsl scattoricg The
eWs the first resurrection will come.
e.. Christ will Gene Historians tell
IS the Jews were more completely scat
cred when the Saracens captured Je-
usaler thar ever before and for near
y 1000 years there We're very few Jews
n Jerusalem but for the last 200 years
hey have been coming back. The
My margin of doubt is. how far did |
he building of that mosque progress
efore the Jews left?
Christ told us in Luke 21:34 that
Jerusalem would be trodden down OF
he Gontiles (Saracens) until the time
I the Gentiles be fulfilled
"Their time is full. They are living
n borrowed time.
Again, Christ tells us in Matthew
4 81, this generation shall not pass
ntil all these things be fulfilled In
ne 31st verse we learn that the first
asurrection is one of the things Now
hat generation did he mean, ana how
ing is a generation?
I'm the 29th verse he says, immedi-
tely after the tribulations," etc. The
practically ceased in 1878,
nd the great earthquake in 1875. (see
ev. 6:12-13 and sun and moon dark
ned in 1880, and falling stars in 1888
he powers of the heaven( sun. moon
nd stars) shall be taken means the
baking of the heavens and earth when

Then the falling stars of 1888 are

Concerning himself Mr.. Salisbury de- ,
ares: !
But now | will come to revelation !
A. D.. 1894 when Christ chose me to
his servant to give His words to all !
no believe in Him, He made known to
e that the time had come to prepare :
+ the day of His second coming
about a month later he made known i,
me that the dark day of May 10. A
/, 1880, and the falling stars of Nov. I
A. D., 1888, were the fultilment of .
e prophecy in Matt. 24:29 and Rev.
1918.
In A. d. 1897. Christ made known
me that a majority of those who r
IN composed the church would live !,
see the day of his second coming
Putting these revelations with the .
ophecies herein mentioned and we :,
n see that we have no time to waste,
we expect to be ready for the bride c
