M|LLENIUM'S APPROACH
 AS TOLD BY ADVENTIST
The World Will be DesoIate Home of Dead Men and Devils
 Says Farnsworth

Kaliedoscopic swiftneSs will charac- terize world events during the next few years, and the Bible has foretold seven last plaques, which will sweep the earth with the bosom of destruc-
 tion. according to Elder E. w. Farms worth. who spoke on The Millennium at the Seventh-Day Adventist camp ground, at North Tenth and Pierce streets, last night. During that pe- riod of 1000 years, all that will be upon the earth will be dead men and
 devils,' he said.
 The expression thousand years oc-
 CUTS six times in Revelation 2O.' con-
 tinued the speaker. The common
 theory is that during this 1000 years,
 soon to begin, evil will be restrained time of profound peace will come, and everybody will be converted. Yet our only conception of this period
 must be based upon the Bible.
 The text says the Devil will be bound during the millennium. He will
 be bound by chain of circumstances for the scripture teaches us that the earth will lie desolate. and be with out inhabitants during that period. The righteous will be taken to heaven when Jesus comes and the wicked will be destroyed by the glory of his coming If one angels brightness struck the Roman guards about the tomb of Christ to the earth as dead men, what will the glory of millions do? They will come with Christ The 'bottomless pit in which the Bible says the Devil will be confined, is this desolate earth. for the eX- pression 'bottomless pit in the origin al is the same as is used in Genesis 1:2 to describe the earth when it was without form and empty
 Jesus says in John 15:1-3, he will take his disciples where he is, and as surely as he went to heaven he will take his people there.
 Some of the righteous now are sleeping in their graves. They Will be raised to life when Jesus comes' as we read in First Thessalonians 4; 16. r However, there are to be two resurrections. one at the beginning of the 1000 years. the other at the close. as Revelation 20:5. 6, tells us; But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished This is the first resur- raction. Blessed and holy is he that botb mart in the first resurrection; on such the second death hath no mower but they shall be priests of God and of Christ. and shall reign ,,itb him a thousand years Where? Why. in heaven, while satan is obliged to remain upon earth, ana view the desolation he has wrought
 But at the end of the 1000 years the resurrection of the wicked occurs Ca+an is Ioosed a little season, as Inc 3ible says. His 1000 years o1 solitary confinement have not chaneeu his heart, for he again goes out to deceive the nations, the wicked whom Cod has raised to live. They folloW 1ir, in rebellion against God, and fire came down from God out or heaven and devoured them That Is the second death. From that dealh tne so-iI ,.o res,rrection. The fire that destroys the wicked purifies the earth i,1 and, says the apostle John in Revelation gil.
