SATAN TO TAKE A
MUCH NEEDED REST
Universal Rum Awaits the
World at the Beginning Of
Milernim--EYangehs

"When Christ returns to this earth
as king of kings and Lord of lords
the Devil will be given a much need
ed vacation. Then for the first time
in all history the wicked will be at
peace among themselves, for they will
be lying dead among the ruins of the
cities and the nations of the world.
The righteous will be taken with the
Lord to heaven, and Satan will be
bound 70 the chaos of this old world
for thousand years. Then Satan and
all his wicked hosts will be destroyed,
the earth wall be renewed in all its
Edenic beauty and become the ever
lasting dwelling place of the people of
God.n
Such were some of the startling
statements made by Evangelist Phil
c. Hayward in his prophetic lecture on
the millennium in the Hayward-Diek-
son tent on Court street last night.
And he supported these declarations
by reading clear cut statements from
the Bible which show that all schemes
for temporal millennium are but Wis
ionary deeeptions designed by the evil
one to lull unthinking persons into a
sense of security.
CAN hopes for an unbroken reign
of peace to follow this war goes glim
mering when we realize that the sell
fishness and greed of evil men, and
the limi1ess ambitions of designing
rulers makes continued peace an i'm
/ possibility. President Wilson has de-
elared that the peace which shall end
: this war must be lasting peace, one
which does not contain the germ of
new wars. But as we turn to the BIZ
BILE and Ito all human experience We
| know that the germ of all wars is sin,
and until the hearts of sinful human
race are changed to be like that of
the Prince of Peace, lasting peace
will be impossible.
Millennium Ushered in by War
For when they shall say, peace
and safety; then sudden destruction
cometh upon them, says the Bible.
/ And we know from the context that
| this refers to the time of the end. The
! prophet Jeremiah also, referring to the
( day of the Lord, said, "A noise shall
I come even to the end of the earth, for
< the Lord hath controversy with the
( nations, he win give them that
k lare wicked TO the sword. And the slain
< Iof the Lord shall be at that day from
K lone end of the earth even to the other
( lend of the earth; they shall not be
k lamented, neither gathered nor bur
/ led; they shall be dung upon the
( ground And Isaiah adds, And il
I shall come to pass in that day, thai
{ the Lord shall punish the host of the
I high ones that are on high, and thu
: kings of the earth upon the earth. >
"TO this testimony another prophet
Zehpaniah, adds, THAT day is day
of wrath, day of trouble and distress
a day of wasteness and desolation
4 day of trumpet and alarm, =.
And / will bring distress upon men
r. and they shall walk like blind men
/. because they have sinned against thu
!. Lord. and their blood shall he poured
q OUT as dust, and their flesh as thu
IS dung
= Christ Comes in Vengence
\ ''The New Testament also bears ou
. the predictions of all the Old Testa
q mept prophecies concerning the mil
e lenmium. We read in the first chapte
N of second Thessalonians, Seeing it i
e a righteous thing with God to recon-
; pense tribulation to them that trouble
you when the Lord Jesus shall be re
vealed from heaven with his might.
Il angels, in flaming fire taking vengenc
! on them that know not God, and tina
!. obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesu
&. Christ: who shall be punished wit
y everlasting destruction from the pres
- ence of the Lord, and from the glor.
!. of His power when he shall come s
+ it is plain, whatever man may sa
70 about it, that the coming Of Jesu
n Christ to this earth will be in a tim
20 of trouble and destruction.
~ The Dead Shall be Raised
:. "Another event of great interes
y. which marks the beginning of the mi
lennium and the second coming o
Jesus Christ will be the resurrectio
or of the righteous dead. Although Jesu
\. declared that all the dead should b
.. raised, yet they do not all come up q
q. the same time We read, For the Lor
70 himself shall descend from heave
or with shout, with the voice of tn
I'd archangel, and with the trump {
God; and the dead in Christ shall ris
first
10. "It will be clear to you all that a
y. tier the dead in Christ have been raj
"a ed only the wicked dead remain in II
va graves. And of these we read in Rev
lation 20:5, But the rest of the dea
lived not again until the thonsan
90 years were finished SO there is
"a, thousand years intervenes between Il
ca resurrection OF the righteous and Il
4 resurrection of the wicked. This is Il
ON millennium.
