The sixteenth is the Gentle sign
Luke Fl :24-20-
And they shall fall by the edge Of the sword, and
shall be led away captive unto all nations and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Genties
until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the
MOON and in the stars; and upon the earth distress
of nations, with perplexty; the sea and the waves
roaring;
Mems hearts failing them for fear, and for look
ing after those things which coming the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken
(Read Daniel, Chapters to ~
The Scriptures clearly show that the Times of
the Gentiles were to run definite period Re-
CARELESS of when they began, they were to last
just two thousand five hundred twenty years.
During that time, the governments of the world
would be in the hands of the Gentiles, and Jeru-
salem and Israel would be trodden down by them.
and Jerusalem and the Jews will come into
prominence again.
The seventeenth is the Fig Tree sign
Matthew "A 32-34-
Now learn parable of the fig tree: When his
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves We
know that summer is nigh:
So likewise We, when ye shall see all these things
know that it is near at the doors.
Verify l say unto you, This generation shall not
pass till all these things be fulfilled.
(Read Zephaniah 2:1-3)
Luke 1869 and Jeremiah, the Twenty-fourth
Chapter, say that the Jewish nation is the fig tree
a16 &c Il
of Man, said that when you see the Jewish nation
showing signs of national life then know that the
Mlllennial kingdom is at hand even at the very
doors. MARK Is 1920
Isaiah the Eighteenth Chapter says that the
Jews will be taken back to Palestine escorted in
warships or in vessels of bulrushes", and out of
those SO taken back remnant will be purified,
and they will accept the Lord in His Coming.
The eighteenth is the Imminency of the Seven
Years sign.
The close of the great war indicates the speedy
revival of the Roman empire which will prepare
the way for the Antichrist who will run his course
in the last seven years.
The nineteenth is the Imninencv of the Rap
ture sign
II Thessalonians :0-8-
And now ye know what withholdeth, that he
might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquty doth already work:
only he who letteth, will let, until he be taken
out of the way
And then shall that Wicked be revealed whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His
mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
His coming.
When the Revived Roman Empire has been
organized and its imperial head, the Antichrist
steps upon the scene, the Holy Spirit, with the
true Church, is to be taken up to meet the Lord
in the air. At the end of the seven years they
will come back with the Lord to rule with Him
for one thousand years.
In the DAY of His Preparation" I pray we
may all have part in the One Hundred Forty
ninth Psalm, Verses five to nine of which read
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing
aloud upon their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
and two edged sword in their hand;
To execute vengeance upon the heathen and
punshments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains and their mobiles
with letters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written:
this honour have all His saints Praise We the Lord
