creed by God and foretold in the
Scriptures that has been entirely
overlooked by most preachers and
Bible students. and yet it is so stu
pendous and far-reaching that il
will vitality affect the whole hu-
man race. and everything that has
life upon the earth" said evan
gelist W. w. Walker last night as
he preached TO the largest crowd
yet 20 assemble al the tent services
conducted at the Community BIZ
Die Auditorium. on Southland
street
The scriptures teach that for a
period of time this earth will be
entirely depopulated- The speaker
called attention to Yep. /: verses 2
and 3. where il states Il will ut
terry consume man and beast. /
viii consume the fowls of the
heaven. and the fishes of the sea
- and I will cut off man from off
the land. saith the Lord. This
worldwide catastrophe is men
toned in Isa. PALS, Jer. 25:3l-33.
and other texts
In Jer. 4: verses 1877. we find
. striking description of the earth
during that time. The earth revert
I'd TO its chaotic state, as il was
when God spoke it into existence.
No man, the birds of the heaven
gone, the fruitful places wilder
ness. all the cities broken down.
What a sight. the earth vast I'M
inhabited wilderness. This. said
walker, is the condition the earth
viii be in during the thousand
years of Revelation 20.
But someone says. what about
the thousand years reign of Christ
and the saints upon the earth?
The only trouble with that doc
trine,, said Walker lis that if isn't
truei There is not single text in
the Bible that says that Christ
will ever set up temporary reign
on the earth.
1t is true that the time will
come when Christ will reign with
the saints upon the earth, but that
will be an eternal reign as proven
by an abundance of scriptures.
Attention was called to Rev. ll:l5.
Zech- i4:s.s. and Dan. Il in proof
Of this position. But the depopu-
lation of the earth. and its return
60 chaotic state will will have to
take place during the ore thou
sand years of Revelation 20. How
fantastic and unscriptural is the
teaching of the proponents of the
Secret Rapture and the Millennial-
lists who picture this one thousand
years as a great utopia. That time
will be spent by the saints in
heaven. the earth during that time
q desolate waste. Now" said Wal
ker, ''let US see how this happens
When Jesus comes the righ-
teous dead will be resurrected,
and together with the living saints
they will 60 to heaven with Jesus.
Matt. 24:30.3l; Thess- 4:l6,l7; St.
John i4:i-3. In these scriptures
we are told that the saints meet
Jesus in the air and 60 home with
him As to where they 60 we are
told in Rev. 1915; where John
heard them in heaven In Rev.
1911. ne tells how he saw them
up there. And in Rev. 2O:4, he
states that they will spend 1000
years reigning with Jesus.
Next We find that all the living
wicked vail be slain by the glory
of the coming of Jesus so that the
earth then will be left uninhabit-
ed. For proof Of this Walker read
2 Thess. Alto. and Jer. 25:3l-33.
He also called attention TO the
words OF Jesus in Matt 24:36-39,
where He said that the wicked al
His coming would be destroyed as
were the wicked al the time Of the
flood. Again in Rev. 2O.5. we are
told how long they will remain
dead. But the rest Of the dead lived
not again until the thousand years
we're finished.
1T is a chain OF circumstance
that binds Satan. With no one up
on the earth " tempt and try. he
must spend one thousand years N
idIeness. in the death cell viewing
the results OF his untimely rebel
lion against his maker He IS zoos

awaiting him and the wicked"
Evangelist Walker says that
every person should hear the sub
iect Tuesday and Wednesday
nights when he will speak on the
-Four Prophetic Beasts of Daniel
Z. and the anti-christ Walker SAYS
that he will prove that the anti
christ is in the world today. The
