been reading about the end of the
world. Many writer's setting the
time, despit ethe fact that Jesus said,
when He was here. that He nor the
angels of heaven knew, but His
Father.
Yes, | know there is prophecy
throughout the book and Jesus knew
all that--yet he didn't know.
Some of the articles | refer to have
come from men who have eaten
books I've never seen and go so far
as to set dates.s
| will Inank you Tor space on the
subject. However, | shall not have
much to say, but let the blessed word
of god talk which is the only author
ity.
In Math. 24-1-3 the disciples were
pointing out the buildings of the
tempt eto the young preacher, as they
understood him, and he said: There
shall not be left here one stone upon
another that shall not be thrown
down." Afterwards they came to
him saying: Tell us when shall these
things be-? And what shall be the
sign of their coming and of the end
of the world. In Math. "a and rs
chapters he. answered all three of
these questions. In Math. 24-34 is
the end of the first question, and has
been fulfilled. The other tw oare yet
to be.
will thank you for space to give
not the figures to locate the scripture
but the verse in full, that is outside
of the two chapters in Matthews
only in part. The reader will notice
that he spoke of signs Of his coming
which must be before the end of the
world. See Luke, 17th chapter: And
when he had spoken these things
while they beheld, he was taken up;
and cloud received him out of their
sight. And while they looked stead
fastly toward heaven as he went up
behold, two men stood by them in
whit eapparel; which also said,
this same Jesus, which is taken uL
from you int oheaven, shall so conc

words, and seal the book, even to the
end: Many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased. The
chariots shall rage in the streets
they shall justle one against another
in the broadways: they shall seen
like torches, they shall run like the
! llightnings. Who are these that fly
/, as a cloud, and as the doves to theil
windows.
