DAY NEWSPAPER
Go through the street cars at two or three
o'clock on Lords Day morning = every occupant
has copy of the devils Bible. 1t IS the same on
all railroad trains that day.
Sunday paper, Mister?' And all buy and
ravenously devour And what does the average
Sunday paper contain? Divorce, murder, rap1ne,
war, sport, scandal, naked women, theaters, prize
fights baseball = the devils brew slush, slop and
mixture.
Think of church members and preachers by
the millions, calling themselves pure hearted and
sweet minded Christians, ravenously devour1ng
the devils sw But what else can you expect!
When people everywhere eat hog they become
hoggish.
Then, is it not pitiful, with what greedy eager
ness the children long for and devour the Sunday
copy of THE DEVILS BIBLE? Would to God
that in Zion the Sunday issue of the devils Book
could never be scent
What will the aftermath in America and Chris
tendon be? Answer: Antichrist, the king of the
north, the last Seven Years, the Great Tribuation
and Arnageddon : in all of which the people
will almost annihilate themselves.
Read Isaiah the 24th chapter and compare with
it, Daniel 12:1 Matthew 24:21, p; Luke Fl "a
SO with verses 25 20; Revelation II :18; 1617
II 19:17-21
By the end of the last seven years, the Great
Tribuation and Armageddon, the earth will be
almost depopuated = ''the inhabitants of the
world are SO burned there are only few men
left
4. JEWISH UNBELIEF AND APOSTASY
are helping to deepen the darkness of THE
NIGHT
The movement is well under way to return the
Jews to Palestine. The Zionistic Movement and
those assisting it are now preparing to do so at
the close of the war Everybody says "Jewish
prospects are very bright indeed"
Gods Word (Which the deluded people have
long since discarded) says that their prospects
are very dark indeed; that the present plan to
return the Jews is only fulfllment of those
prophecies which declare their return to Palestine
IN unbel1ef under a covenant with the CON-
FEDERATED TEN-NATION REVIVED RO-
MAN EMPIRE AND ITS LAST IMPERIAL
HEAD THE GREAT ANTICHRIST
This is the devils restoration of Israel, seven
years before the Lords restoration.
That will bring the complete Jewish apostasy
and will be Israel's darkest day and the most
terrible trouble she ever passed through. It is
intimated in Zephaniah 2:1-3; Zechariah 10:
8, g. Jeremiah 3O:4-11 Matthew "a 20, Il.
The Antichrist and the Revived Roman En-
pire, with whom they make covenant in their
return, will turn on them in the middle of his
last seven years and seek to annihiate them from
the earth = Isaiah 10:5-27; Daniel o:27; Isaiah
28:14-22; Micah 1913. All will perish except
the Remnant. Then will come the true resto-
ration of Israel under the Lord Jesus = Isaiah
IL :1O-1o; N:12, 10; Matthew "a e. 9-31.
5. THE GREAT APOSTASY OF THE
PROGRESSED CHURCH OF GOD WILL
n
Here is what the Bible says about it and its
different characteristics:
CD 1t repudiates sound doctrine, or teach
ing, and Gods preachers
II Timothy 4 3, 4:
For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own Iusts shall thew
heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears
And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables
(2) 1t will have only preachers of its own
choosing they will cheap to themselves teach
ers' Compare Jude A. s, 1913, 1919:
For there are certain crept in unawares
who before of old ordained to this con
domination, ungodly men, turning the grace of our
God into lasciviOusness, and denying the only Lord
God, and our Lord Jesus Christ
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defle the
hesh despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
But these speak evil of those things which they
know not: but what they know naturally, brute
beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way
of Cain, and ran greediy after the error of Baaam
for reward and persisted in the gainsaying of Core
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when
they feast with you, feeding themselves without
fear: clouds they without water, carried about
of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without
fruit twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own
shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the
blackness of darkness for ever.
These are murmurers, complainers walking after
