that question. Any church or minister
which can not do 1t, that In itself proves
unfaithfulness on their part watch
man, what Of the night? II We will en-
quire enquire ye.' What does 1t mean?
This fact is evident from personal
standpoint, from personal correspond
ence and from calls over the phone
from individuals who would like to
know. For the great day of His wrath
is come, and who shall be able to
stand% Rev. GIT. What time in history
did the prophet have his mind set upon
when he gave the question? The clos
ing chapter Of Revelation brings to
view the seven last plaques Time COW
cred by the verse takes in more than
the last plaques The fact Of the state
ment of last plaques would indicate
chat there are others. The question who
shall be able to stand?' implies more
| than the seven last plaques, for before
they will be poured out probation will
be closed and the judgment will be fin
ished. 1t was time before the last
seven plaques the prophet had in mind.
War Adventist Prediction.
For years in the past while other
people have been preaching peace and
safety and that we were entering upon
time of great righteousness in the
earth that would blossom out in the
| earth's conversion, the people that are
represented upon this camp ground to-
night have been preaching that we
should reach just such a time as we are
in now. We can not go by worldly
viewpoint, but by the prophetic word
of God. We are today living In time
when the great daily papers in giving
record of the events and the things that
are taking place say that the Seventh
Day Adventists are coming into their
own. There is to be a time of trouble
on earth, as spoken of by the prophet
Daniel. And at that time shall Michael
Christ, stand up, the great prince
which standeth for children Of thy peo-
pie, and there shall be time Of
trouble such as never was since There
was a nation. .. And at that time
shall thy people be delivered. Dan. II: /.
Trouble among the nations At that
time thy people shall be delivered.
AT that time many that sleep in the
dust shall awake. This is describing the
resurrection Of the dead, some to ever
lasting life and some TO everlasting
shame and contempt. The resurrection
is to take place at the second coming
of Christ. There is to be a. time of ma
tional trouble and in connection with
that you have the second coming OF
Christ and the resurrection of the dead.
The great day Of His wrath is come
and that comes at the close of proba-
tim Roth had mir 1c
upon the same time. What Daniel saw
is what John saw. tho expressed little
differently. Zephaniah saw what Daniel
and John saw and uses the language of
both The great day of the Lord is near,
1t is near, and hasteth greatly, even the
voice Of the day OF the Lord: the
mighty man shall cry there bitterly
Zeph. 1:14-17. A time of trouble and
day OF wrath. That's the time we have
entered upon. Now this time will close
with the resurrection of the dead and
the second coming Of Christ and the
seven last plaques If We will enquire,
enquire ye.' What is the time?
IF we We're warranted in believing
some of the reports of some Of the
horrors that are being perpetrated in
some Of the countries in the grasp Of
this war and trouble we would have
an absolute fufllment Of this state
ment for we are told by public press
that the fats of human carcasses are
taken to be used in the manufacture
of explosives TO kill more men, and
what is left is used for fertilizer
Isaiah 2S:e
The prophet Joel $500 yeaps ago, in
describing conditions of the last days,
shows that the nations in preparing war
will use the implements of husbandry,
beating them into weapons of warfare.
This prophecy is literally being fulfill
ed in the present world war. Car loads
of old junk. that a few years ago were
OF little value, are being gathered all
over the land to be manufactured in
to implements Of human carnage but
these things will not always continue.
they are harbingers Of the blessed and
soon coming day of everlasting light.
That this camp meeting may cause
all who shall attend to sense the i'm
portance OF personal preparation to
meet God" was the burden Of the speak
er's closing appeal.
