like herds of cattle driven to the
slaughter. Surely there was no
Ieace but sudden and terrible des-

slaughter. Surely there was no
reace but sudden and terrible des-
truction. Is this Armagaddon! From
q careful study OF the scriptures
and the prophecies on this question
and the prophecies on this question
will say that this great war is not
Arnlageddon; but since Turkey has
decided to enter into this fray, there
Is every possibility that this terri
bic war of fourteen nations of this
| world now engaged in this war is
leading straight ON to ArnageGdon.
| While Turkey kept out and the
war was confined to Europe, Ar
mageddOn did not seem 50 near.
ArmageddOn is located in Palestine
about sixty miles north of jerusalem.
! and that is to be the gathering place
Of the hosts Of the nations in the
last mighty battles of this world.
Here is the prophecy of that great
event
/ Proclaim We this among the ma
| tlOns; prepare war; stir up the
mighty men: let all the men of war
draw near: let them come up. -.
Let the nations bestir themselves,
and come up to the valley OF Je!lo~h-
| ;iphat: for there will | sit to Judge
all the nations round about. 49,.
Multitudes, multitudes in the VALLEY
of decision for the day of Jehovah
is near in the valley of decision
! Joel 3. ola. The meaning of Je-
hoshaphat is, Jehovah does Justice
The reason for the gathering of
the nations at Armaeeddon seems
plain when we consider the logical
results of Turkeys entrance into
this war. The time has come for
Turkey to be driven out of Europe
and the Sick Man of the East to
come to his end. In the past Eng
land, France and the other nations
have sustained Turkey but in this
case Germany is the only nation
that is with her but God has said a
time would come when Turkey, or the
King of the North, would be driven
out of Europe and that time has ar
! rived according to the prophecy OF
Daniel. But tidings ont of the east
A3 north shall trouble him: there
F he shall 60 forth with great
20 destroy and to utterly make
haAfzAnd he shall plant the
81 of his palace between
! tie seas III the glorious hoiy noun
! tain; vet he shall come to his end
and none shall help him. And ut that
! time shall Michael stand up, the
great prince which standeth for tie
children of thy people: and there
{ shall be Il great time of trouble.
/ such as never was since there was IL
nation even t. that same time. etc"

These texts denote the driving of
the Turk out of Europe. and until

the drying up Of the great river,

after that for there will be no one
left to fight again. for under the
sixth plague when all the nations
are gathered at Armageddon the
Lord, Himself will appear in the
clouds Of heaven" And when shall all
the tribes of the earth mourn when
they shall see the Son Of Man com

For over sixty years Seventh
Day Adventists have been preach
ing and telling the world of these
great events and that the world
would come to its end in this gener-
ton and when we see all these
things coming to pass we know the
coming Of the Lord draweth near.
The event that will take place from
now On will be rapid ones of which
I will relate at another time-Harry
