It is I. -J From this It Is Inferred that those the day of the Ixrnl cometh, "and his feet shall stand In that day upon the Mount of Olives, which Is before Je rusalem on the eakt, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave In the midst there of towsrd the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of It toward the south." 12. "And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Je rusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away In their holes, and their tongue ehall consume away tn their mouths." Now go to Malachl IV,. 3, "And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall bo ashes under the soles of your feet In the day that I shall do this, salth the lord of hosts." Now to Obadlah, IGth versei "For the day of tho lrd Is near upon all tho heathen; as thou hast done, It shall be done unto you; thy reward shall re turn upon thy own head, for as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continu ally, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and THEY SHALL UK AS THOUGH THEY HAD NOT REKN." 9. "For evil-doers shall be cut off; hut those that wait upon the Lord they shall Inherit the earth. 10. For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shall diligently consider his place, and IT SHALL NOT UK." XXXVII I'salm. Amos VIII.. 9: "And It shall come to pass In that day, salth the I-ord Uod, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken tha earth In the ckar day." And Amos IX., 6, says: "The lxrd Ood of hosts Is ho that toucheth the land and It shall malt." Now turn to Joel !., 80-81. There you will learn that Ood "will show won ders In the heavens, and In the earth. blood and fire and pillars of smoke; the sun shall bo turned Into darkness, and the moon Into blood, UKFOKB the great and terrible day of tho Ixrd come. In Joel III.. 14-15, you will find be fore God's day that many will be try ing to decide what Is right. Wo read: "Multitudes, multitudes In tho valley of decision: for the day of the Lord Is near In tho valley of decision; tho sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining." Tho 38th chapter of Kzeklnl speaks of the latter days when the mountains and tho steep places and every wall shall bo thrown down, and when "all tho men that are upon the earth shall shako at My (tho Ixrd's) presenco." And why? Isaiah LXV says: "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and tho former shall not bo remem bered, nor como Into mind." And In Isaiah XXXIV., 9-10, you can read: "For It Is the day of tha Ixtrd'o van geaoce, and tho year of recompense for tho controversy of Zlon. And tho streams thereof shall be turned Into pitch, and tho dust thereof Into brim stone, and. tho land thereof shall be come burning pitch." And In Isaiah XXIV.. 19-20, It la stated that In that day. "Tho earth Is utterly broken down, tho earth Is clean dis solved, tho earth Is moved exceeodlng. ly; the earth shall reel to and fro like a dmnkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression there of shall be heavy upon It; and It snail fall and not rise again." Hut that day, Paul says, shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who oppoeeth and exalteth himself above all that Is called Ood or that Is worshipped; so that ho as Ood, sttteth in tho temple as Ood, showing himself that ho Is Ood.' And then shall that wicked be revealed (ths lawless one, according to tho revised version) whom tho Lord shall consume with tho solrit of bis mouth; shall destroy with the brlghtnees of his com ing; whosecomlnglsAKTKKthe work ing of Satan who works with all pow er, and signs and lying wonders, and with all decelvabteneea of unrighteous ness In those that perish, bwauite they received not the love of the truth thai they might bo saved; for which reason God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. There Is but one man, or one sys tem, sitting In the temple of Ood to day that exalteth himself above all that Is called God. or that Is wor shipped ss Ood. That man or that power Is tho Tope of Home the papa cy. It has done what Daniel said It would do. It has thought to change Ood's law, and His time; and to wear out His saints. And while there are hundreds of millions following the lead, tho banner, the mark of tho beast of Rome In the observance of the pa gan day of the sun as tho 8abbath, and but comparatively few who follow God's law by keeping His Sabbath who are under His banner, wearing Ills seal. It can bo seen that there has been, a great falling away from Ood, and that He has sent a strong deln slon upon them so that they believe a lie. Now, what lo a lawless one? If the state legislature or Nehraata thought to, tried to, repeal a certain section of the Constitution of , tho United States, would not Us action bo denounced as lawless? Then, la It not right to term the power that thought to change Ood'o law as a lawless pow er? If It Is lawless for one set of offl cers to try to change tho 'laws of a higher set of officers, of an earthly power, how much more lawless ana high-handed must tho attempt of mor tal man to change Ood a law appear! Yet there are millions of true men ana women who are honestly believing a He today. And so It will be Just be fore Christ's scond coming. Then tho dragon will bo wroth with tho woman and go to make war the rem nant of her seed who keep the com mandments of Ood, and have the testi mony of Jesus Christ. This statement you will find In Reve lation XII., 17. It shows four thlnaw distinctly. The dragon Is wroth.Wrotn, mad, angry; with who? With tho woman. Who Is tho woman? Tho church. And what does tho dragon do with the woman? Ho goes to make war with tho remnant of her seed. And what Is the remnant? Tho laat end; that which Is left. And why does tho dragon go to make war with tho remnant? Hecause they keep tho com mandments of Ood. And what do they have? Tho teatlmony of Jesus Christ. And what Is testimony? Of a witness who Is honeat and truthful as Jeeua Is, It Is tho truth. Then when Jesno told John that tho dragon waa wroth with tha woman and went to make war with tha remnant of ber seed, that keep tho commsndments of Ood ana have His testimony He meant what He said. Ho meant that after 1.2SS years of persecution by tho Church of Homo there would be those living at His appearing who wero keeping Ooa'g commandments, and who had His testimony. limwiiaoii' CLOD HOfJKEft 0.1 WHEELS.
