st. Paul wrote prOphetically Of our
time, that it would be one of serious
trial and testing to many protesting to
be Christians. The reason for this he
states-they received not the Truth in
( the love Of it Oh Thessalonians ii, 10.
H. They preferred their own errORe-
Gus theories, the Apostle explains, and

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

come; Thy will 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.
