the days of Noah, so shall it be in
the end of The world Additionally
Jesus answered the inquiry saying:
The sun shall be darken and the
moon shall fail to give her light and
the stars shall fall from the heavens
and the power Of Heaven shall be
shaken" The Revelations gives us
a key to these symbolic statements;
the sun represents the gospel Of
Christ, the moon pictures the Mo
sale Law diSpenSalon, and the
stars represent the great number of
preachers in the worid-how won
derfully this is being fulfilled now.
The world, in its rush to carry out
its selfish aims. is giving no heed
to the gospel of Christ-Sunis dark
encd. The sacrifice of animals un-
der the Jewish custom forShadowed
the Great Sacrifice of Jesus Christ,
but this is being repudiated as fool
iShncsS by higher critics (worldly
wise oneS), therefore the moon
fails to give her light The preach
crS' position is one above all others
but the great majority Of them have
fallen from this exalted position of
teaching the truth and have taken
their places i'm the common politics
of the world, teaching only such
things as are pleasing to the wicked
lworld and which serves to crafty
their own selfish aims-lhc stars
fallen. As result Of the preach
crS' unfailhfulneSS and their
powers of heaven-thc great
church syStemS-are being shaken.
Humanity is restless and is qucs-
tioning the creed of the different
denominations and the divine
right Of kings to rule the earth.
Continuing his answers, Jesus said
that at the end of the world there
would be upon the earth distress
of nations with perpleXity, the sea
and waves roaring (meaning reht-
and mems hearts failing them for
a fear of the things coming upon the
II earth. Who is SO blind and so void
n of reason as not to be able to see
: the fuliillment of this part of the
n Scripture at this time. Additional
ly the Lord said, THE Gospel of the
v the world for witness unto all
/ nations and then the end shall
10 come"
Il OTh word Gospel means good
10 news. Now listen, dear people:
ii The world does not know that
I. God planned on setting up, king
is dom here on the earth. This is,
is should be and will be, good news
f. to the poor world when their eyes
# are open to the fact that the Lord
If is now establishing a kingdom upon
e earth in which, by being obedient,
}. many that are living and walking
# about on earth shall live through
f. out eternity and never 90 into the
N grave. But now listen again and
!: remember what /; tell you: As
II soon as this information concern
e ing the kingdom here on earth is
O given to every nation as awitneSS
Il (and we are sending this message
q is Just before us, the world will re-
IS circumstanceS) you may rest as
& sured there will be time Of
e trouble such as never was since
g there was a nation and just follow
e ing this great time of trouble which
II is jut before us, the world will re-
e cognize The Kingdom of the Lord
in full force and effect.
V We have not attempted to produce
I,n hn A
il prove that the world has ended, but
}. we are satisfied TO rest our case
d upon the prophetic testimony OF
l. our Lord, Jesus Christ. Summing
o up the cirrumstantial evidence, as
d obtained from the Lord when asked
: the end of the world, we find true
n to our Lords statement, in 1914,
t the nations rose against nations.
e Famine is threatening the whole
J. world; epestlence is raging and
d shifting down humanity from right
r to left and especially venereal dis

n destructive than war and which is
now shifting down all grades of So
n ciety, of both sexes and of all ages A;

places. The Jews have returned to
e Jerusalem. The Gospel is being
= preached to every nation, as it was
h in Noah's day; the people are heedl
At less as to the warning that the
