to which every one must bear witness.
ARMAGEDDON NEXT
Armageddon was the great battle
field of Palestine. There Gideon and
his army put to flight the Midianites,
who in their distress and excitement
destroyed each other Gideon and his
little band typified Christ the Messiah.
That fight at Armageddon typifed the
great and final conflict between truth
and error, between right and wrong.
1t fOreshadOwed the complete downfall
of Satan's empire and the establish
ment of the kingdom of peace and
righteousness under Christ our Lord.
Jehovah through his holy prophet
referred to this final conflict as the
day of his vengeance: "Wait We upon
me, until the day that l rise up to the
prey; for my determination is to gath
er the nations, that l may assemble
the kingdoms, to pour upon them
mine indignation, even all my fierce
anger; for all the earth shall be de-
vOured with the fire of my jealousy"
(Zephaniah 3:8). The nations are now
assembled and bound together by COM
pact and leagues; and yet all nations
are making the most gigantic prepara-
tons for war that have ever been
made.
HASTENS WAR PREPARATIONS
France, although bankrupt, plunges
further into debt in producing the
most formidable aircraft, with the
deadliest explosive bombs that have
ever been known. Feverishly she hur-
ries on in the building of submarines
and filling her stOrehouses with NUM-
| tiOns and war supplies. Britain is
putting forth her greatest effort in
preparation for war; while the United
| States is preparing for war on the
most colossal scale in its history.
Other nations are following the same
course; in fact, all the nation are rap
idly marching to the great and final
conflict. in which they will destroy
each other, as fOreshadowed by the de
struction of the Midianites.
Sir John Foster of England speak
ing of this coming conflict, says: at
is enough to make the angels weep,
that after the greatest tragedy the
world has ever known the nations
should be showing their teeth more in
1923 than they did in 1913. By the
ordinary standards of judging, inter
national affairs are in a worse cOndi-
ton today than 10 years ago. The in
ternatiOnal agreement for disarma-
ment made at Washington has not
been carried out Dread is the motive
behind all the actions of France at
the present time. Though Germany is
supposed to be unarmed, all evidence
is that the martial flame is burning
fiercely on the banks of the Rhine
From Smyrna to Yokohama the fire
is not only smoldering but frequently
leaping into fame"
