POWDER SPRINGS
TENT MEETING

Sunday night witnessed the largest
crowd yet at the gospel tent, which
is located on the city's property neal
the spring. Fully as many people
were unable to get inside as the
tent would seat, but almost perfect
silence reigned during the lecture
which Mr.. Wilson delivered on the
subject of "The Next World War"
Among other things he said "The
great world war just closed was not
the last great war, spoken of in the
Bible, or the battle of Armageddon
for it will be Gods war, and when
it does take place all nations of earth
will fall before the warriors conduct
ing this last great battle. The Reve-
lator says he saw Three unclean spir-
it's like frogs come out of the mouth
of the dragon, and out of the mouth
of the beast, and out of the mouth
of the false prophet. For they are
spirits of devils, working miracles.
Then he says of them that they stir
UP the kings of the whole world
causing them to gather to the Battle
of the great day of Cad Almighty.
Then says that he 'Gathereth them
into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon. Rev. 16:13-16,
Mr.. Wilson said further "Arma-
geddon derives its name from the val
ley of Magiddo, which is the same
as the valley of Jehosphaphat, and
is located near Jerusalem where all
the great battles, which the Lord
has had hand in has been fought,
and according to Joel, latter day
prophet, this same valley is the place
where God is to sit to judge the ma
tions of earth, at which time they
will be gathered there at the same
time Christ comes to gather His peo-
pie. For behold, in those days and
in that time, when shall bring again
the captivity Of Judah and Jerusalem,
= I will gather also all nations, and
will bring them down into the valley
of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with
them there for my people and parted
my land" Joel 3:1-2. Then in verses
9 and IS the prophet tells us that
great preparations for war will be
made, and that even the heather ma
lions will assemble to take part in
this great conflict, and at that time
the command from God is given for
the mighty ones to come down"
telling them to put in the sickle and
reap, "For the harvest is ripe" and
Jesus says the Harvest is the end
of the world" Matt. 1889.
The speaker said further, "God will
not let this great battle take place
without first sending a warning to
the people, and so we find in Ezekiel
the ninth chapter prophecy of this
warning message sympolized by an
angel clothed in linen, with writers
inkhorn by his side, who is commits
stoned to go through the city of Je-
rusalem or the church, and mark all
those who, "Sigh and cry for the
denominations done in the midst"
Again in Revelations seven this
same prophecy is given b ythe Seer
of Patmos, presented to him under
the symbol 70 four angels, who are
holding in check the winds of war
until the people of God receive the
seal of God, representing by the other
angel coming from the east, which
doubtless represents Gods last mes
sage to a sin-cursed world"
Then still another view of this
warning message was given the Rev
elator in the fourteenth chapter of
his book, and this time it is symbol
lied by three angels quickly follow
ing one another, calling the attention
of the whole world to the true God,
and of the judgement hour, and also
of the fallen condition of christen-
dom, and closes with a solemn warn
ing against receiving the "Mark of
the beast" so we see the controversy
will close with the final conflict over
the "Seal of God, and the Mark of
the beast" AS evidence of this fact
the closing part of this chapter re-
cords a picture of the Battle of Ar
mageddon," and represents the COM
ing of "The Son of Man." prepared
to reap the Harvest of the earth. "
Elk. 9:1 %; Rev. 7:1-3; Rev. 1920.
Then the whole question for us to
settle is, which shall we receive, the
Seal of God or the Mark of the
Beast?" Julian c. Cant.
