BE WARNED, STOP GIVING HEED TO DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

not mean the grave, nor a place of
torment, but it does signify a con-
dition of restraint in darkness.
These evil ones, then were as stated
by The above authority, restrained
under chains of darkness. And this
restriction must continue until the
judgement of the great day. The
conclusion must be reached that nj
the time of the Judgement of the
great day this restraint would be
removed, in measure at least, and
these evil spirits permitted TO work
greater decptions and wonders
amongst the people than ever be-
fore. Since the time of the flood
they have been in this condition of
restraint. The world is now enter
ing the great day of the Judgement.
as other scriptures show, and which
we hope to show in the course Of
these articles. We are in time
therefore, when these evil spirits
are TO exercise and are exercising
q eater powers of deception than
ever before, deceiving many of The
brightest minds, and would deceive
if possible the very elect of God.
From the time of the flood these
evil spirits or demons have been able
to communicate in some limited de-
gree with those in the earth. To
protect the children of Iseral, Jeho-
vah specially provided in his law
that it was capital offense for any

through instrumentalities of Medi-
umS, witches or NecromancerS. We
cite a few provisions of the divine
law in proof of this; "Thou shall not
suffer a witch to live" EXODUS %
1S). 'When thou cometh into the
land which the Lord thy God giveih
thee, thou shall not learn to do after
the abomination of those nations.
There shall not be found among
you any that use divinations, or an
observer of times or an enchanter,
/ or a witch, or a charmer, or a con-
sI,lter with familiar spirits, or a
wizard, or Necromancer; for all
that do these things are an abomi-
nation unto the Lord" Deut. IS; 10
12j. A man also, or woman, that
hath a familiar spirit or that is a
wizard, (Medium), shall surely be
put to DEATH" Uevtt. 20; 2O.
When Jesus was on earth he found
many persons whose minds had bee
taken possession of by these demons
and he cast them out, "When the
even was come they brought
unto him many that was possessed
With demons, and he caste out the
spirits with his word and healed all
that was sick" Matthew, S-l6),
"And when he was come to the
other side in the country of the
Gecrgesenes there met him two pos
81 ssed with devils, coming out of the
tombs, exceeding fierce, SO that no
man might pass by that way, And
behold they cried out, saying, what
have we to do with thee, Jesus thou
son of God? Art thou come hither
to torment us before the time? And
there was good way off from them
an herd of many swine feeding. Sc
the devils besought him saying, "Ii
thou cast us out suffer us to &c
away into the herd of swine" (Mat
8; 28-3D.
