Millions of people go there and feast their eyes upon the
architecture upon the display and they million, ten
million times isn't it grand Isn't it beautiful Oh, how

The Nations Holy City
Look at the citizens of the Holy City! Who they?
We told here that this Holy City is to be inhabited by
the the nations of earthly naonaties but the
Word plainly declares that the New Jerusalem is to be in
habited by the nations of them aUho s0ved."
Tn thn of The 1St WI
nations of them who are saved shall walk the light of it,
The NATIONS OF THEM WHO ARE SAVED!
Thanks be unto God there in the Holy City for
all the saved out of every nation kindred tribe and tongue
was thinking today, in this connection, of another por
ton Revelation where the Apostle multitude that
man could number.
Think of it!
Is there mathematician here? How many could you
number? And yet multitude, the Apostle says, (which
no man could number of all nations and ndreds and peo
symbol of victory, and they all waved the palm branch
Oh, what wonderful picture!
What does this earth amount to? How feeting the
things of this earth!
AS studied this Scripture today thought, Father
there is unfathfulness in ZION"
Do you put God first?
want to tell some of you with all solemnty, with all
seriousness you going to lose out in this race You
mark what say
There never was time when unfaithfulness
dangerous than is Do not forget that the ends of
the ages have come upon u.s. We not Antedluvians
neither are inhabitants of the City of Jerusalem in the
year 70 A. D. We living in the Twentieth Century of
the Christian Era!
Terrible Uheed after the Close of the Gospel Age
The Gospel Age is older than any other
age the history of the world The Jewish Age lasted
eighteen hundred and forysix years. The Gospel Age
about to close
my brothers and sisters this is not the harvest time
when they gathering the wheat and the cha but it
the harvest time when the messengers gathering the
wheat and the tares Very the Day of Grace will close
and there will be Holy Spirit to plead with humanity.
The ministry of Christ bounded side by
Bethlehem and the other side by Ovet The ministry
of the Holy Ghost bounded side by Pentecost
and is bounded the other side by the sounding of the
trumpet and the trumpet will be the last signal for the
appearance of Christ and then the Holy Ghost will back
to Heaven.
At that time all the saints will be taken out-here will
not be anybody to pray there will not be preach
there will not be any salt the EARTH and there will be no
Light here Sin will be rampant And for three and
half years the great and terrible day of Gods vengeance
will be upon the earth.
Oh you may not like to hear say it, but say it as
student of prophecy The European only part of the
fierce burning of the fires in the Last Days How often
God has pictured these wars and told you symboca
language that onethrd of the human would be killed.
