SEES REVELATION OF
PROPHECY IN WAR
Evangelist Passebois at Gospel Tent Also
Declares the World Is Facing the
End of All Things.

Evangelist l.. f. Passebois at the gos.
pei tent last night declared that the
prophecy of the seven seals denoted
events of a religious character and con-
tanned the history of the church from
the opening of the Christian era to the
second coming of Christ, or the end of
the world, in seven distinct periods of
time. He said in part:
When the first seal in this prophecy
is opened, as recorded in the first two
verses of the sixth chapter, the prophet
sees white horse. The color of the
horse denoted the purity of the church.
The time covered by this seal was from
the time of Christ to about A. d. 100.
1t was during this time that the super
stitions OF praying to dead saints, pill
grimages and professions, etc. came in
and took the place completely, in the
minds of the people of the pure and
true gospel of Christ That is what is
signified by the color black This church
was the very opposite of the apostolic
church, which was white.
In the fourth seal of the seventh and
eighth verses, the prophet is shown
pale horse. The time covered by this
seal is that known in history as the dark
ages.
The next seal, the fifth, of verses nine
to eleven, deals with the time of the
Protestant reformation under Luther,
and reveals that though the full vindi
cation of the martyrs was to be delayed
for little season. yet finally God will
terribly punish the prosecutors for the
martyrdom of His people. The sixth
seal of the twelfth to the seventeenth
verse, the first thing noticed by the
prophet was great earthquake. This
was the great earthquake
OF Lisbon, the greatest earthquake in
the history of the world, which occurred
in 1855.
The second thing the prophet sees I'M
der the sixth seal is that the sun was
to be darkened, or there was to be
dark day. This happened on May 10,
1850.
Then the prophet sees the stars fall
from heaven. This was fulfilled in the
great meteoric shower of Nov. 49, 1888. |
After this the seal closes with the de-
struction of all earthly kingdoms. The !
md of the sixth seal s the end of the !
world. Therefore, we are living in this |
inc of prophecy, between the thirteenth I
md fourteenth verses OF the sixth chap !

The evangelist read number of scrip
ures from the Bible showing that in
he last days there would be great
movement for peace, but at the same
ime the nations would prepare for war
nd that God declares that the whole
rorld would be involved in war. this
