The twelfth is the International sign.
Matthew "a :6-8-

Any We shall hear of wars, and rumours OF wars:
see that We be not troubled: for all these things
must to pass but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and king
dom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and pestiences, and earthquakes, in divers places
In the war just closing we have seen twenty
two nations on the side arrayed against four on
the other. Thirty-hve or more declarations OF
war have been made and several more nations
have severed diplomatic relations.
Although the war is closing, the world is filled
with revolution, anarchy, unrest and confusion
According to the "sure word of prophecy these
conditions will break out and sweep all Chrlsten-
dom during the first half of the seven years.
The thirteenth is the Peace sign.
Jeremiah Sis
We looked for peace, but good came; and for
time of health and behold trouble!
I Thessalonians 5:1-3-
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye
have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day or
the Lord so cometh as thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail

Revelation ~ and 49,
And saw, and behold white horse: and he that
sat on him had bow; and crown was given unto
him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer
And there went out another horse that was red:
and power was given to him that sat thereon to
take peace from the EARTH and that they should kill
one another: and there was given unto him great
sword.
And when he had opened the third seal, heard
the third beast say, Come and see And behed
and 10, black horse; and he that sat on him had
a pair of balances in his hand.
And | heard voice in the midst of the four
beasts say, measure Of wheat for penny, and
three measures of barley for a penny; and thou
hurt not the oil and the wine
And when he had opened the fourth seal, heard
the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see
And looked, and behold pale horse; and his
name that sat on him was Death, and He'll followed
with him. And power given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword
and with hunger, and with death, and with the
beasts of the earth

We hear great deal TODAY about universal
peace and about this being the last war; but the
Word of God tells us that in the seven-vear
period war will break out beside which the pre-
sent Word-war will be only breakfast spell in
comparison and at the end of which the Battle
of Armageddon will be fought, the armies of the
various nations of the entire world taking part.
The fourteenth is the Socialistic, Bolshevistic
or Anarchy sign.
Revelation o:12-17-
And behed when he had opened the sixth SEAL
and 10, there a great earthquake; and the sun
became black sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became Blood
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even
as fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is
shaken of mighty wind.
And the heaven departed scroll when it is
rolled together; and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men,
and the rich men, and the chief captains and the
mighty men, and every bondman, and every free
man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on u.s.
and hide us from the face of Him that stitch on
the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day Of His wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?
Luke Fl rs, 26-
And there shall be signs in the sum- and in the
moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress
OF nations, with perplexity; the and the waves
roaring;
Mems hearts failing them for fear, and for look
ing after those things which coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken
