THE WORD OF GOD:

Lord Jesus Christ, our Hope" Il Timothy
- is not the fulfllment of that Bless
ca Hope, the glorious appearing of the Great
God and Our Savior Jesus Christ" Titus
Z:lo) IS not "the Lords Christ" at all
| Luke 2:26). He is another Jesus, and he
who preacheth such is accursed Galatians
l:o-9; Corinthians 1922.
This Christ cannot be our Christ at all ::
Tor there are Christians who are now alive
and remain on the earth who were here in
1874 and 1873.
1t any part of the Church was raised and
taken UP in 1873, the event did not cause
any excitement or commotion. They have
not been missed. No inquiries of any kind
were made about what became of them.
Not one word appeared in the papers about
their resurrection and departure. That will
be the most notable event ever having oc-
Cured up to that time.
Again, Thessalonians 4 :13; II Thessa-
lonlans FL, and Revelation $40 say that
the living Christians go at the same time the
resurrected ones do. The Holy Spirit raises
and translates = catches up the whole
Church, feet members" and all, in given
moment of time, and not with stretch of
years between.
Let God be true, though it makes such
as Nanny Eddy and c. T. Russell most
notorious liars, deceivers, and the very
shadows of the Antichrist himself!
Be not deceived; God is not mocked.-
| Galatians 6:7.
Let no man (not even Russell, NANNY
Eddy, or the Antichrist) deceive you by Tin
the use of any method of Bible manipula-
| C.C
Take heed that NO MAN deceive YOU
Matthew 24:4.
Then shall two be in field; the one shall
be taken, and the other left
Two grinding at the mill: the one shall be
taken, and the other left Matthew 24:4O,
! Was that fulfilled in Russell's 1874 and
| 1878?
Will not the ones left know that the others
were taken out?
His invisible" business is all 'bosh," and
the rankest kind of heresy; yet thousands
have swallowed it down.
Matthew "a 80 and Revelation | y de-
clare that theSavior's Revelation to estab-
l1sh His Kingdom = after raising the Chris
tan dead and catching them and the living
saints up out of. the way of the man of
sin, and after destroying the Antichrist
himself : will be the most noted event ever
to occur in the history of the universe and
that all will see 1t and knozv it.
So Russells invisible coming of an in
visible Christ, with an invisible little flock'
relgning over an invisible Millennial King
dom, is not Gods Christ, little flock. or
Kingdom at ALL
II Thessalonians III says that with the
departure of the Church Gall of it at the
one ti1ne) to meet the Lord in the air, the
Holy Spirit, the Huderer the Restraiuey
of the man of sin (the great Antichrist) !,
will be thus taken out of the way so that
the Antichrist can be revealed in his time
the last seven years of Gentle Times, Dan
iels SEVENTEEN week, the"Tim of the End"
The Holy Spirit is still here, the Church
remains the Antichrist is still held in abey-
ance, hindered and thousands of men have
been converted since 1874 and 1873.
The Bible mo7ohere says that the greater
part of the Church would be raised in 1873
and that those who remain would all die,
and be raised in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920
1921, 1925, ten and one-half years after
1914, or in 1880. On the contrary, it says
that all the dead saints are raised at the time
eve who are alive and remain unto the
coming of the Lord" are changed, and
caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
Note Ho7v Plainly the Bible Speaks:
There 7VU be q resurrection of all the
dead
JOHN 5:2S- Marvel not at this: for the
hour is coming, in the which all who are in
the graves shall hear His voice.
ACTS 24:15 And have hope toward God
which they themselves also allow, that there
shall be resurrection of the dead, both Of
the just and unjust.
HI Will Not RISE at Once.
There will be an ont Resurrection from
among the dead thousand years before the
rest of the dead live again.
Who 7ViN haze part IN IT.?
LUKE 14:14 Thou shalt be recompensed
LUKE 20:34-36 Jesus answering said
unto them, The children of this age marry,
and are given in marriage:
But they who shall be accounted worthy
RESURRECTION FROM AMONG THE DEAD,
neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Neither can they die any more: for they
are equal unto the angels; and are the chill
dren of God, being the children of the out
resurrection.
JOHN 5:29 And shall come forth; they
who have done good UNTO THE RESUR-
RECTION OF LIFE.
All the Apostles with the Jews in gen
eral) believed in the resurrection of the dead
but they everywhere preached the resaryec-
tion from among the dead - the omt-resur-
