ARMAGEDDON IS NIGH
Great Battle of All Nations Fast Ap-

(By Mark Larkin.)

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 25.-The
world is coming to an end!
Armageddon, the world battle of
all nations. is approaching!
The coming OF Christ is near!
Humanity is racing toward destruc-
ton,
The earth itself will not be blot
bed out, however, nor the people who
nave kept the word OF God; but that
period of war and chaos which will
mark the end of the human race as it
now exists has already begun.
The present European war is its
prelude and the Armageddon, pre-
dicted. in the Bible, will be the finale
to present earthly civilization. But
out OF all this will come a new world
wherein will live perfect people u-
afflicted by suffering or sin.
These startling statements sum up
Pastor Arthur G. Daniels interpre-
tation OF Bible prophecies which he
asserts have already begun to be full
filled. Pastor Daniels comes from
Washington. D. c., and is president
OF the World Conference Of Seventh
Day Adventists.
Prelude To ArmageddOn.
The present European war is the
prelude to Armageddon, which VIII
precede the coming of Christ says
Pastor Daniels. bible predictions,
written many centuries ago. are now
in process Of rapid fulfllment. Tho
the great Armageddon is not yet be-
ing fought, nor has that awful time
of trouble gripped the world, these
events are approaching with alarming
rapidity. The generation now living
is watching the fulfllment as it is
told almost hourly in the daily pa
pers.
THE prophet Joel foresaw this
time and the tremendously serious
events now occurring. He saw the
manifestation of the war spirit and
the anger of the nations. He heard
the universal proclamation of war.
He saw such colossal preparations
for war that it appeared as if the ma
lions were turning their implements
OF agriculture into instruments of
warfare and destruction. He saw the
nations-awakened, aroused, mad
dened-gathering in the land of Pal
estine for battle. And there he saw
their overthrow and utter destruc-
ton. His prophecy should be read
with the greatest care by all the
world just now"
Pastor Daniels believes that the
present war will be followed by a
little time of peace; that then the
struggle among the nations for
world supremacy, and the supreme
control of great commercial high
ways, will be renewed; that this will
result in the Armageddon. involving
all the nations of the earth.
The whole world will be thrown
into tumult over disputed political
questions relating to the Near East"
declares Pastor Daniels. Turkey is
to come TO her end. First she is TO
be driven from Constantinople, her
present capital. The war now rag
ing in Europe is designed to accom-
plish this.
Jerusalem As Capital.
Students OF world affairs believe
that Turkey will then establish her
capital at ancient Jerusalem, in the
heart of her Asiatic possessions.
Twcnty-four hundred years ago the
prophecy of Daniel, xi, 40 and xii, 2,
predicted this by saying:
He Turkey shall plant the
tabernacles of his palace (his eapital
between the seas in the glorious holy
mountain CJerusalem), yet he shall
come TO his end, and none shall help |
him. And at that time shall Mich |
ael Christi stand up, the great |
Prince and there shall be
a time or trouble such as never was |
since there was a nation
and at that time thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be
found written in the book
when Turkey is finally over
thrown, Christ, the Prince of Peace
is TO establish his everlasting king !
dom Armageddon is the last act .
in the drama of human history. II
ends with the determination of the /
human race, except those who have
before found refuge in God, and Il
leaves the world in utter ruin.
But that will not be the end of
the human race. The reign of sin
will be broken and it's very exist
ence ended. Then the kingdom of
God will be established amongst
men"
