wants u to be. In speaking OF this
awful time. Jesus said
Then shall the great tribulation.
such as was not since the beginning
Of the world 20 this time, no. nor
ever shall be. And except those
days should be shortened, there
snail no flesh be saved; but for tho
elects sake those days shall be
shortened. Matt. 24:2l-22.
And here is what Daniel says
Of it:
"And there shall be time Of
trouble such as hever- was since
there was nation even to
that time, and at that time
they shall be delieyered (members
of the Lords body. every one that
shall be found written on the Book"
Dan. l2-l.
Human imagination is incapable
Of picturing the awiulness OF this
great tribulatiOn, that IL surely COM
ing, on the world, and may begin
this very day-yes even this very
hour, Think OF e. II is 20 be the
worst time the world has ever
known or ever will know. A worse
time than the flood. a worse time
than the bondage OF Egypt. and a
worse time than the destruction 81
. Jerusalem. when women and chill
drcn were torn in pieces, and the
very name OF mercy was unknown.
4 worse item than the reign OF
nero. worse than during the Span
isb inquisition, worse than when
Cortcs destroyed the Aztecs; worse
than during the French revolution
and the Commune. and worse than
during the dark ages. A worse time
than when men were skinned alive;
worse than when they were pulled
+ asunder by horses. worse than Wncn
men. women and children were
/ thrown to hungry lions, and worse
/ than when they were dipped In pitch
and burned as torches.
DO you want to I've in that kind
/ OF time? We'll, the only thing
that can surely save you from II
is to have a part in the meeting in
the air, for no others who are NV
/ ing at that time can escape II, ana
! that awful dine may be upon us
| within the next ten minutes, for II
will begin at the very moment the
rapture takes place. There Is now
not a single prophecy remaining TO
. be fulfilled before the Lord may
come, and the members of His body
be Caurht up TO meet Him In the air.
II stands to reason that the tribu-
lation must he the most awtul time
known, because for the only Time IN
all history the devil will then be
loose and have unhindered sway.
/ Everything he can do that VIII add
to human woe will certainly be done.
Governments will 10 to pieces, an
there will be no security OF life ana
property. A man may be million
aire one day and beggar the next
A very chaos OF crime and outraga
OF every kind will be turned loose
: God will let the world and the uni
verse see for time what 1t Will
mean to live under the deVil.s RUE
and will let those who pass through
the tribulation see that thA gooo
they so long enjoyed was because OF
the presence of the good. Some OF
ycu people who throw your votes
and influence in favor OF whisky
and all kinds OF hellishness that go
with 1t may live to find out in the
bitterness Of the tribulatiou Just
what is meant by sowing the wind
and aSaping the whirlwind.
1t is supposed that the trtbulaticn
will cover a period of seven years
II might Sc 100 years; but 1t cannot
be less than seven years. Goa III
His mercy will make II as Shori as
possible. That the real church o'
God. believers. members of the BODY
of Christ, are to be taken ou, or the
world before the world is saved, Il
- as clearly taught in the Bible as ina
through the atonement maze bS
Christ man may have salvation IRON
sin.
Not All Caught Up.
What will 1t mean to the worid
Every believer will be instantly tax
en- out of the world; homes VIII o'
rent In tyain, husbands WIZ W p'
robbed of godly wives, children VIII
bc taken out of the world and those
loft behind will wiring their hand'
in grief. No doubt newspapers WI
print extra editions. Universal con
sternation will reign. The worl'
will neither see the LORD hellhel
will they sec their loved ones 20
Those who have died in the IalIi
will be raised.
The statement OF Jesus shows tina
not all the people are to be caugh
3 up in the air in clouds, but on
: here and there:
, There shall be two men In ont
bed; one shall be taken and th'
; other left. Two women shall bt
grinding together; the one shall b'
taken. and the other left. Two mel
} shall be In the field; the one shall
be taken and the other left. -
Luke l7:34-36.
This makes it look as II the mum
ber caught up in the air would no
be large. when will the meeting
+ In the air occur? In regard to thi

But OF that day and hour know
eth no man, no not the angels whici
are In Heaven--neither the Son, bu

and pray; for ye know not when tn
time is."-Mark 1929.
But He also said, after speaking
of conditions that would prevail
about that time.
! so likewise ye. when ye shall se
all these things know that II is near
even at the door."-Matt. 24:33.

for at least 100 years; perhaps long
