SIGNS OF. THE TIMES, OR
PROPHECY FULFILLED.
(By Samuel Steele).

Church Signs-Paul, writing 10 the
young preacher Timothy (2Tim. AID
in speaking on these latter days, tells
him of time when the Church will
not endure sound doctrine; but after
their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching
ears" etc.
Is it not true that we are living in
the Laodicean church age? (Rev.-3:
14-2D. Is it not true that the Church
of today is practically self-centered,
cultured, rich; pay supplanting piety;
influence supplanting power; form
supplanting heart religion; given over
to ostentation, display, pride, etc?
This is picture of the Church in the
latter days, having a form of godli-
ness, but denying the power thereof"
Today the wealth of the world is prac-
tically in the hands of church mem
bers, but used largely on their own
lusts Confidence today is placed in
mans power, machinery, money
rather than in the power from above.
Thes. 5;1-6; 2 Tim, 3:5.
Religious Signs-2 Peter 2:1-2 tells
us of the false teachers" that shall
appear during these latter days. There
are thirty-two men in the world today
claiming to be Jesus Christ, besides
the many prophets" like Dowie,
Sanford, and others who have arisen
making their claims, Have you con-
sidered the hundreds of false religions
and teachers that have shown them
selves in these latter days?
Peter e Pet. 3:3-4), tells of the
"scoffers" who shall arise, and Judges
Q:11-1S) tells of the Knockers" who
shall come and make light of the
GLORIOUS doctrine of the Second Ad-
vent of our Lord. While the Bible
does not give us any set date for
the Coming of the Lord Matt. 24:36),
yet it does give certain signs of the
times" that we may not be in dark
ness that the day should overtake us
as a thief in the night" l Thess. 5:4
Another wonderful religious sign is
the return of many Jews in an un-
converted state to Palestine, accord
ing to prophecy, which is to take place
in these latter days. In a Literary
Digest of 1907 we read these words
relating to the fact of the Jews re-
turning to Palestine: There are more
than thirty colonies of Jews now in
Palestine. One-third of the entire soil
of Palestine is under cultivation. Forty
per cent of the land in the district of
Joppa is owned by the Jews. In the
Tiberias district rs per cent is owned
by the Jews. All available lands east
of the Jordan are being used. Twenty
per cent of the inhabitants of Pales-
tine are Jews. Jerusalem has larger
constituency of Jewish population than
in the days of Ezra and Nehamiah,
The Hebrew is a national language,
being taught in all the schools. Every
Jewish colonist in the Holy Land is
an enthusiastic Zionist, even to the
poorest of them contributing their
mite to their further development"
These phropesies also show that the
Jew mainly is coming from the
north country (Russia) which is
literally being carried out as Russia
is north of Palestine. and the Jews
are coming from that country. DER.
