United States and Canada.
The Pastor said: God seems to have
given the Book of Revelation with the
Intent of covering up great and im
portant truths, not only because these
truths were not due to be understood,
but because He designs to keep certain
features of His Plan from the world.
Being a book of symbols, the Revela
tion will not be understood by the
world in general; but the Bible assures
that when the due time for revcalment
comes, the wise amongst His people,
"the wise virgins." shall understand.
The Prophet Daniel, who tells us that
the Time of the End is the time for
those wise toward God to understand
His great Plan, gives two particular
signs by which this time will be espe
cially marked: First. "Many shrill run to
and fro"; second. "Knowledge shall be
increased." (Daniel 12:4.) Today we
see this prophecy fulfilled. AH over
the world the people are running to
and fro as never before: and all over
the world are opportunities for knowl
edge such as have never before been
known. The remarkable fulfilment of
this prophecy characterizes our day as
the Time of the End. in which this
Gospel Age is to be concluded and the
Messianic Age to be ushered in the
time when God's people will under
stand and prepare for their change.
In the Scriptures God has seen fit to
associate the name cf Israel's famous
battlefield with the great controversy
between Truth and Error. Right and
Wrong, with which the change of dis
pensation will take place. While the
phrase. "Battle of Armageddon." Is
heard on all sides and is applied in
many ways, nevertheless Christians re
alize that in the Bible this phrase Is
used in a spiritual sense. Therefore
if the present is an opportune time to
consider this Battle of the great Day
of God Almighty, surely it is the prop
er time to view it from Its true re
ligions standpoint.
, Before we proceed to set forth our
.understanding of the symbolic lan
guage of the Revelation, we wish to
state most emphatically that we are
r-nylng nothing whatever against godly
Christians at any time or in any place,
in any chnrch or out of any church.
We realize that the Word of God con
veys a terrible arraignment of some of
the great systems of our day some
that we long have reverenced, that we
have esteemed as containing many of
God's people. We have niihing to say
against godly individuals, but what we
have to say in the interpretation of
Scripture is In respect to these systems.
Agencies Mustering the Hosts.
Coming to the interpretation of the
symbols of Revelation 10:13-1(1. we find
that the Scriptures mention three agen
cies connected with the gathering of
the hosts to this great battle. We read
that three impure spirits, teachings, will
go forth from the mouths of the Drag
on, the Beast and the False Prophet,
and that these three will be in accord,:
These three doctrines, symbolically
represented by frogs, are to have -a
mighty influence throughout the civ
il ized earth: they are to gather the
kings and their armies to the great
Battle of Armageddon.
The ecclesiastical kings and princes,
with their retinues of clergy and faith
ful adherents, will be gathered in
t-olid phalanx Protestants and Catho
lics. The kings and captains of Indus
try, and as many as can be influenced
by 'them, will be gathered to the same
side. The political kings and princes,
with all their henchmen and retainers.
Will follow in line on the same side.
The financial kings and merchant
princes, and all Trhom they can influ
ence by the most gigantic power ever
yet exercised in the world, will join
;the same side, according to this proph
ecy. They do not realize, however, that
they are coming to Armageddon. '
' These "doctrines of demons." repre
sented by the frogs, will lead, many
noble souls to assume an attitude quite
contrary to their preference. For a
time the wheels of liberty and prog
oW ffi
ress will be turned backward, and me
dieval restraints will be considered
necessary for self-preservation for the
maintenance of the present order of
things and for the prevention of the
new order which God has decreed.
Even those who may be God's people
do not stop to consider whether it is
His will that things should continue as
they have been for six thousand years.
In giving this interpretation, it is
necessary for us to indicate what is
symbolized by the Dragon, the Beast
and the False Prophet. Bible students
of nearly all denominations agree with
us that the Dragon of Revelation rep
resents the purely Civil Power. Protes
tant interpreters generally agree with
us that the "Beast like a leopard" (Rev
elation lo:2i represents the Papacy. But
fewer still, we fear, will be ready to
support our view that Protestantism is
the "Image of the Beast" (Rev. 13:lo).
elsewhere styled "the False Prophet."
We urge no one to accept our inter
pretation, nor shall we think unkindly
of those who refuse it. We will nei
ther slauder or otherwise injure them,
nor threaten them with eternal torture
They have the same right to their
views that we have, and the same
right to make them known to others.
For our part, we shall be very glad to
consider anything which opponents
may set forth as their interpretations
of the passage under consideration.
"Unclean Spirits Like Frogs.
The symbolisms of Scripture, rightly
understood, are always for-fi:l. When
the Holy Spirit used a fr g symboli
cally to represent certain doctrines or
teachings, we may be sure that the
mio application will tit well. A frog
is a small creature, yet it puffs itself
u; until it almost bursts in its efforts
to be somebody; it has a wise look,
even though it does not know much;
and whenever it utters a sound it
croaks. The three most prominent
characteristics of a frog. then, are
pomposity, an air of superior wisdom
and a continual croaking.
Applying these symbols, we learn
that an evi! spirit, influence, teaching,
will come from the federated Protes
tant churches, from the Church of
Rome and from the civil authorities,
all in full agreement. The spirit of all
will be boastful, an air of superior wis
dom and knowledge will be proudly as
sumed all will croak in harmony. All
will predict Hue results to lollow. in
volving the interests of both the pres
ent and the future life, if their coun
sel be not heeded However conflict
ing the creeds, the differences will be
ignored In the general preposition that
nothing ancient must be disturbed, in
vestigated or repudiated.
The Divine authority of the Church,
and the Divine right of kings, aside
from the Church, will not be permitted
to conflict. Any ersons or teachings
in conflict with these boastful and un-
scriptural claims will be branded as
everything vile, at the mouths of these
froglike spirits, speaking from pulpits
and platforms ami through the press.
The nobler eutiinents of some will be
strangled by the philosophy of the
same evil spirit which spoke through
Caiaphas. the high priest, respecting
our Lord Jesus. As Caiaphas declared
it expedient to commit a crime in
violation of justice, both human and
Divine, in order to he rid of Jesus and
His teachings, so this frog spirit will
approve of every violation of principle
necessary to their self-protection.
The croaking of these frog spirits of
doctrine will gather the kings and
princes financial, political, religious
and industrial into one great army.
The spirit of fear, inspired by the
croakings, will scourge the passions
of otherwise good and reasonable men
to fury, desperation. In their blind
adherence to these evil spirits, evil
doctrines, they will be ready to sacri
fice life itself on the altar of what they
mistakenly suppose is justice, truth
and righteousness.
As we understand the Scriptures, for
a brief time these combined forces
cf Armageddon will triumph. Free
ppeech, free mails, and other liberties
which have come to be the very breath
of the masses of our day will be ruth
lessly shut off under the plea of neces
sity, the glory of God, the commands
of the Church, etc. All will seem
serene until the great social explosion
takes place, described in Scripture as
"a gre.'.t earthquake." Rev. 1G:1S. 10.
In syinIo!ic language, an earthquake
dignities social revolution. The declara
tion of the Revelator is that it will be
"such as was not since men were upon
the earth." Our Lord Jesus and the
Prophet Daniel described it as "a Time
of Trouble such as was not since there
was a nation." Matt. 24:21; Dan. 12:1.
The Opposing Forces at Armageddon.
The false, froglike teachings will
gather together into one host the great,
the rich, the wise, the learned and the
kings of the earth. At this juncture
Divine Power will step forward nnd
marshal the hosts to Armageddon 1
the Mount of Destruction. The very
thing which they sought to avert by
federation will be the very thing which
they will hasten. Other Scriptures tell
us that God will le represented by the
great Messiah, nnd that He will be on
the side of the masses. Thus we read.
"At that time shall Michael the God
like One Messiah stand up" assume
authority. lie will take possession of
His Kingdom in a manner little ex
pected by many of those who errone
ously have been claiming that they
were His Kingdom, and authorized by
Dim to reign In nis stead.
The Scriptures declare, "nis servants
ye are unto whom ye render service."
Some may be rendering service to
Satan and error while claiming to be
serving God and righteousness: and
pome of these may lie serving ignorant
ly. as did Saul of Tarsus, who "verily
thought that he did God service" in
persecuting the Church. The same
principle holds true reversely. As no
earthly king holds himself responsible
for the moral character of each soldier
who fights in his battles so the Lord
does not vouch for the moral character
of all who fight on His side of any
question.
The same principle will apply in the
approaching Battle of Armageddon.
God's side of that battle will be the
people's side; and that very nonde
script host, the people, will be pitted
at the beginning of the battle. An
archists. Socialists, and hot-headed
radicals of every school of reason and
of unreason, will be at the forefront
of that battle. The majority of the
poor and of the middle class prefer
peace at almost any price. The masses
have no sympathy with anarchy; for
they realize truly that the worst form
of government is better than none.
A comparatively small number. God's
consecrated people, will at heart be
longing for Messiah's Kingdom: These
will wait patiently for the Lord's time;
they will be of good courage, knowing
the outcome delineated in the "more
sure word of prophecy." to which they
have done well to "take heed, as unto
a light shining in a dark place, until
the Day dawn." 2 Peter 1:19.
Conscious of their own weakness as
compared to the kings and princes,
financial, religious and political, who
will then hold sway, the masses will
be restless. Through the ballot and the
peaceful readjustment of earth's af
fairs they will seek for the elimination
of evil, for the placing of monopolies,
utilities and the supplies of nature in
the hands of the people for the public
good. The crisis will be reached when
the hitherto upholders of law shall be
come violators of that law and resist
ors of the will of the majority as ex
pressed by the ballot. Fear for the fu
ture will lead the well-meaning masses
to desjieration; nnd anarchy will result
when Socialism fails.
Why Armageddon Is Necessary.
Horrible indeed would be the out
look for the future did we not have the
infallible Word of God assuring us of
a glorious outcome. Divine Wisdom
has withheld until our d:iy the great
knowledge and skill which is breeding
both millionaires and (Tiscontents. Had
God lifted the veil a thousand years
ago. the world would then have lined
up for its Armageddon. But that d.ite
world have been too soon for the Di
vir.o Purpose; fur God has His own
times and seasons, and has appointed
the Seventh Thousand-Year Day of
the world's history for the Reign of
Christ. Therefore in kindness God
veiled our eyes until the time when the
gathering to Armageddon would imme
diately precede the inauguration of
Messiah's Kingdom. Rev. 11:17. IS.
St. Paul, writing prophetically of
'this time, declared that it would be
one of trial nd testing to many pro
fessed Christians, for the reason that
they received not the Truth in the love
of it. (2 Thessakminns 2:10. 11.) They
preferred their own erroneous theories,
t!:e Apostle explains, aud therefore
Iod will pive them over to a strong;
delusion, permitting" tliem to believe
the lie which they preferred and to
stitTer for missing" the Truth which
they did nt love. Thus they will be
in the condemned host, "fighting
acninst God."
Sad to say. we Christians have labor
ed under a thorough dehi.don respect
ing iod's Finn. We have claimed that
Christ set up His Church in Kingdom
power and that the Church has been
reigning on the earth as His represent
ative. On the strength of this delusion.
Jews and so-called heretics have been
persecuted to death as opponents to
Christ's Kingdom. Meantime we
thoughtlessly prayed. "Thy Kingdom
come; Thy will be done on earth, as
in Heaven." We knew that the Ue
deemer had said that lie would come
again to make us His Uride and Joint
Leirs; but we ignored the Scriptures.
We were drunk, as the Scriptures sym
bolically say; nil nations were drunk
with the false doctrine. (Itevelation
17:2. It is tins false doctrine which
will constitute the frog spirit that soon
will croak, preparatory to Armageddon.
For the past forty years the forces
have been mustering for the conflict.
As the belligerent parlies have crossed
each other's paths, incidental skirmish
es have taken place strikes, lockouts,
riots, etc. Court and army scandals
in Europe, trust and court scandals in
America, have shaken public confi
dence. Dynamite plots, charged by
turns on employees and employers.
have tended to make each distrustful
of the other. Dittcr and angry feel
ings are more and more manifest.
The War Cloud's Silver Lining.
According to Scripture the great bat
tle must follow the occurrence of two
events; the transformation of the Ira
uge of the Deast into a living force,
and the return of many wealthy Jews
to Palestine. The Protestant Federa
tion realizes the futility of its organiza
tion unless it receive totalization un
less Its clergy be recognized ns ossess
ing apostolic ordination and authority
to tench. This the prophecy indicates
will come from the two-horned P.east
symbol, we believe, of the Chnrch of
England. High-handed activities of
both Protestantism and Catholicism,
operating in conjunction for the sup
pression of human liberties, await the
vivifying of this Image.
At the very close of Armageddon will
come "Jacob's trouble" in the Holy
Land. Then Messiah's Kingdom will
begin to be manifested. Thenceforth
In the Land of Promise Israel will
gradually rise from the ashes of the
past to the grandeur of prophecy.
Through its Divinely appointed princes,
the Ancient Worthies (Hebrews 11;
Psalm 4.":ld). the all-powerful, but in
visible. Kingdom of Messiah will be
gin to roll away the curse of death and
to uplift mankind. Then will be ful
filled the Promise made to Abraham
