And Daniel ia SHOWS IL Is
to be in the TINE OF THE END.
And the prophet was told to shut
I'D the words and seal the book,
Indicating that it should not be
understood until the time OF the
end had arrived. And the same
verse adds that many shall run
20 and fro, and knowledge shall
De increased" You surely can
see that THAT prophecy has not
Jailed. Look how travel has been
speeded up within the last forty
IL fifty years. In all past ages
people travelled slowly, but now
hey are actually RUNNING to
md fro just as Daniel said they
would do, and there has been a
rapid increase of knowledge.
You see the time of trouble,
the running to and fro, and the
increase of knowledge were all
70 come right along together at
the TIME OF THE END, and
just before the second appear
ing of the Messiah. The fact
that the running to and fro and
the increase Of knowledge had
not come at the time Jerusalem
was destroyed, and the addition
al fact that the HAVE come
now, ought to be ample proof
that the predictions have NOT
failed, and that they were never
intended to refer to the destruc-
ton of Jerusalem.
The passage referred to in
Matthew "a ennumerates a list
of the signs that shall immediate
Iy precede the second coming.
It shows that when the signs of
the end BEGIN to come they will
come in rapid succession, so that
the generation living when these
things BEGIN. to happen will
still be living when the King ap-
pears.
"Verily I say upto you, this
generation shall not pass till all
these things be fulfilled"
If we were going to say it, in
our present way Of talking, we
would say THAT generation
(the one which is living at the
BEGINNING of the signs) shall
not pass till all is fulfilled"
Well, then, what generation
was it that saw the running to
and fro, and the increase of
knowledge, and the greatest
Time of Toruble that the human
race has known since those
words were spoken? Why, this
present generation now living in
1920 A. D., Of course. I am only
a little over forty years old, but
| have seen it all. The world
today is no more like it was forty
years ago than a great thunder
ing express train is like an OK
cart. Of course t-ey had rail-
road trains before [ was born,
but they were nothing compared
!. to what we have now.
Even my short memory goes
back to the time when there was
no bicycles, no automobiles, no
telephones, no monographs, no
moving pictures, no wireless
telegraph, no flying machines,
no submarines, no type-setting
machines, no electric light, no
electric power, no sky-scraper
buildings. These ere all among
the SIGNS that mark the end of
the Age, and the generation that
grew up with me has seen them
, all come. And Jesus Christ says
: this same generation will see
him come back in great power
and glory to set up his kingdom
on the earth.
l Daniel says that somebody is
going to be DELIVERED during
) the time that he speaks of. Was
anybody delivered at the fall of
= Jerusalem? Not that we know
Of. At least, if they were it was
certainly not Daniels people.
That was the last kick that sent
D item winding into their two
I thousand years of scatteration
Y and trouble.
3 But now look! Right here
f within the past three years we
I have seen the Holy Land deliv-
cred from the Turk and freely
t handed over to the Jews, with
