explains the present persecutions of churchmen in Soviet-controlled states in central Europe. In a decree issued by the Soviet Government on May 1, 1932, it was declared that “ the very conception o f God will be banished from the boundaries o f the Soviet Union.” Not one official word has been spoken since by the Soviet Union that would lead us to believe that the Soviets have altered that determina­ tion. Thus the war between God and Gog foretold by Ezekiel, is on! It was not on before the Russian Revo­ lution o f 1917.' “ Gog” officially stands to profane all that is called God. The profanities o f the Soviet government, have been too horrible to put into print. We shall not attempt to describe them here. But it is to be noted that the Jehovah o f Israel says in connection with the judgment to fall upon “ Gog” : “ Neither will I suffer my holy name to be profaned any more” (39: 7 ). Where dwells that great atheistic “ prince o f Rosh” ? It is written: “ Thou shalt come from thy place out o f the uttermost parts of the north” (38 :15 ). See also, 39:2. Now, go study your map, and see the location o f Russia. There she lies, sprawling around the North Pole, all the way' irom the Baltic Sea to the Bering Strait, her flag floating over one- sixth o f the land surface o f the earth. No nation is farther north. Russia and only Russia dwells in the “place” o f “ Gog.” When “ Gog” begins his fatal march “ out o f the uttermost parts o f the north,” there will be “ many peoples” (38:15) with him. And, more than twenty-five centuries ago, the prophet o f God did not hesitate to name the allied hosts o f “ the prince” -—-even “ Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, Togar- mah” (3 8 :5 ,6 )—every last one of them allied with Communistic Russia today. All o f them are located in west- central Asia, except Gomer. Now, the German people are the descendants of Gomer. More than ten years ago, when I wrote my book, Russian Events in the Light o f Bible Prophecy, and went into detail to show that Stalin, and not Hitler, would be the winner o f the war, and that the “ Gomer” of Ezekiel was none other than Ger­ many, my critics were legion. Re­ member I wrote when Hitler seemed to be headed toward world dominion. Well, who is in Berlin today? A clear interpretation o f Daniel’s great proph­ ecy o f the willful king, the Antichrist, in Daniel 11, would indicate that the A U G U S T , 1 9 5 0

Against the dark, threatening war clouds of the present day, “ We have . . . a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unzo a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts” (2 Pet. 1:19).

earth for all horses fit for battle, bought them, and sent them to Rus­ sia. Other nations may put their trust in gasoline for mobile purposes if they wish to do so. But the wily old northern bear scents the possibility o f bombs breaking up the oil fields of the earth to such an extent that the great gas-propelled war machines will be stalled in their tracks— “ out o f gas!” If that day comes, the na­ tion that has the horses will rule the earth — so reasons the Communist chieftains. Once again, when “ Gog” goes forth to war, what country will he invade? It will not be America. Practical men o f war know that an invasion o f America by the hosts described by Page Eleven

great foes o f the Antichrist, to be overthrown by him, will come “ out o f the east and out o f the north” ' (Dan. 11:44). Would the fulfillment of this prophecy involve the great masses of China and some other Asi­ atic states? I do not doubt it..Recent events in China have not been sur­ prising to me. Again, when “ the prince of Rosh” comes forth from his northern den with “ all his hordes,” they will come “ all o f them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army (38:15, Cf. 38 :4 ; Dan. 11:40). Who is it that owns a full one-half o f all the horseflesh on the face o f the earth today? Russia! The agents o f Stalin, before World War II, scoured the
