Horrible would be this outlook for
the future did we not have the infalll-

"Send Them Strong Delusions."
St Paul wrote propheticaIly of our
time, that 1t would be one of serious
trial and testing to many protesting to

of love for the Truth.
1t Is sad to say that we all as Chris
ttans have been laborlng under thor
ough delusion respecting Gods Plan.
We have claimed that Christ set up
His Church In Kingdom power and
that the Church has been reigning on
the earth as His representative. On
the strength Of this deluslon, Jews and
heretics have been prosecuted to death
as opponents to Christ's Kingdom All
the while we thoughtlessly repeated
the Lords prayer: Thy Kingdom
come; Thy win be done on earth. as in
Heaven" We knew that the Redeemer
said that He would come again to
make us His Bride and joint-heirs but
we ignored the Scriptures We were
drunk. as the Scriptures symbolically
say, ''all nations were drunk" with the
false doctrine. 1t is this false doctrine
that will constitute the frog spirit
which soon will begin to croak and to
prepare for Armageddon.
