The Allegorical Beast
OF The Sea

What is meant by this allego-
rical beast? The beast here have
reference to person with beast
~ character, a person who lives
by fleshly inclination. and will
lower himself to the level of beast
life, has not got any conscious.
A beast will insist on having what
he wants regardless to other
beast. A heartless dog hasn't got
any sense of sympathy, but he
has sense and sympathy enough
for himself to stack oil Of the
bones between his paws, and will
not let a baby pup have the
least one Of them; because he is
n brute, he is cruel, savage and
brutal. That is the nature of the
person given the title Of beast in
this chapter. he gets his power
from the devil.
THIS beast is identified by some
as the anti-Christ, Christ's enc
mics, and would rule. Some iden-
tify him as the POLITICAL head Of
great empire to be established
at the end Of this age. Some are
trying to call the beast Hitler.
But listen to what the beast does.
He blasphemes God, tlasphemes
the temple, blasphemes the saints
on earth, and overcomes them; and
because Of him the whole world
divides irto two parts, one wor-
ships the beast, and those whose
names are written in the lamb
hook Of life. None Of this favors
Hitler. Hitler does not speak
against God and the church, and
the saints, he says God Is help.

INTRODUCTION
The Revelation to my mind is
the greatest alleporical book of
the Bible. The entire book with
few exceptions, is an allegory
AS far as allegories are concern
ed, the Revelation occupies the
same place in the New Book" as
the Psalms do in the "Old" AS
a whole, both hooks are filled
with allegories.
What Is An Allegory?
An allegory is an extended me-
taphor. What is metaphor :?
We will proceed to tell about the
allegory. An allegory is a figura-
tive expression in which the prin
cipal subject is described by an
other. For an instance, the 18th
Psalms, "Thou hast brought a
vine out of Egypt, thou hast cast
out the heather and planted it."
The vine is Israel, settled in Pale
slime, and we know how Joshua
and the rest of the kings fought
to exterminate the heather. We
should read Paul's allegory of
Ager and Sara, Gal. a.
A metaphor has a shade of diff
ference, in that the name is the
thing itself. For an instance,
Jesus said, "tell that fox, Behold,
| cast out devils, and etc. St. Luke
1882. So we see Just how far
an allegory extends beyond me-
taphor. So the Relaxation is an
allegory to an allegorical minded
people and must be interpreted in
an allegorical method; with a deep
covered underlying meaning, any
theological student will mine deep
and carefully to find the kernel.
The Allegory of the Woman and
Man Child.
Something very mysterious was
going on. The first four verses
as we read, represent scene in
heaven; and the next two, record
events on earth, the newt six, take
us again to heaven. Who Is The
Man Child? The man child is
Jesus Christ, who shall rule the
nations with a rod of iron, and
was caught up to the throne of
God, and is caught up to the
throne of God. Who Is The Wo-
man, We will say, it was not the
church. When Christ came, there
was no christian church, and of
course no minister, he organized
both TIE ministry and church. John
was on the very ultima Of the old
dispansation announcing the ad
vent of the new when Jesus came.
Remember what it says. Behold
she Travelled, she brought forth,
before her pains came, she was
delivered of a man child. It could
not have possibly been the church.
lisa. 6G;7, g. who hath seen such
a thing, and who hath heard Of
such a thing. shall the earth be
made to hiring forth in one day,
or shall nation be born at once"
Signifying, that the church, earth
and people, and no body else ex-
cept the virgin Mary had brought
him forth, His incarnation, His
birth, His death, and sending the
Holy Spirit, are all personified
as a woman. "Travailing in birth
is a symbol Of the 1sraelites, the

The Battle In Heaven Not
Allegorical
There is no allegory metaphor,
parable. simile, or any figura-
tive expression relative to the
battle in heaven, it is real The
first war ever fought was in
heaven, of which God is giving
the world an account of himself
in this Revelation. Note, there
are two sides, Michael and the
Dragon. The Dragon was one
of the powerful angels in heaven,
with six wings. He was given
the title Morning Star, Isaih calls
him Lutifer the Son of the Morn
ing and there are other titles Civ
en- him since which are: Pollyon,
Devil, Satan, and etc. All of these
title are significant. The Morn
ing Star aspired to the throne,
wanted to rule and succeeded in
making other angels think as he
and the battle was on. He moral
ly fell from his high position, not
then, but he was eventually cast
out into the earth and also the
angels which fought with him.
The Devil is still foolng people,
making them do things, make
officers rise up against pastors,
and get thrown out, and minis
tiers against Bishops, and get put
out, and Bishops against the Epis-
copacy, and get the same. The
Devil has made people believe thy
could split churches ana do well
at it, but all who have done so
have found out that it was a
gross error, and would return now
if the church would offer a pro-
position to them, ard not them to
the church, so as to not have il
said they asked back.
Isaih said, at shall come to pass
in that day, that the Lord shall
punish the host of the high ones
on high and kings of the earth
upon earth" We notice that the
arch angel. Michael, is classed
with kings and will be punished
with them on earth for break
ing peace in heaven. He is the
first name, and the chief of the
princes, tSnd heads the list of
kings. The judgment morning is
going to be a great morning fill

Suppose you'd make a mistake,

: Or should you be given the
chance, If your nation were in
dire peril, to offer your life in
her protection, as proof of your re-
demption?
During these last few months
thousands of man in every Ameri-
can penitentiary have faced that
question and answered it with a
desperate appeal for the chance
to serve their country and redeem
their self--respeet.
Hundreds of those appeals came

that a man who has once erred
and been punished should bear the
stigma all his life. But if we're
