Dear Sidelights:
l read ST Slocums card in The
Georgian and enjoyed it very much
But, on the level, what-or where
is Armageddon? Yours etc.
READER.
Armageddon was a great battlefield
of the kings of the ancient world. The
height of Megiddo, in the great field of
Esdrealon, was it's principal vantage
ground.
Upon the field of Armageddon met
Assyrian, and Egyptian, ard Hittite,
and other nations to battle to the death.
There North Israel. and South Israel
met in deadly and fratricidal strife.
Armageddon stood pre- eminently the
bloodiest and gloomiest field of battle
of the ancient holy wars.
AT Armageddon eventualIy-and it is
in this aspect that Mr.. Roosevelt spoke
of it-are to gather the hosts of the
world against the hosts of the true
God.
There are to be three armies COM
bined against the Lord al the final bat
tie of Armageddou-the hosts of evil
commerce, evil government and evil re-
ligion.
With these three ranged on one side.
God, backed by the honorable, the just,
the good and the pure of earth. is to
fight His ultimate battle for the puri-
fcation of the world.
When Mir. Roosevelt said that he
stood 'at Armageddon and battled for
the Lord" he meant that on his side
was ranged the pure in heart, and
against him We're pitted all the forces
of evil in the nation.
Rather bombastic-even sacrilegious
perhaps? Not necessarily the latter.
of course, but-well, it was a thorough
ly Rooseveltian utterance, anyway!
