THE FINAL ANTI-CHRIST (Continued from page 414)
over easily from their own living Brahmans, idols and holy men to the worship of the hero-—the- arrogant one—-who claims to be God himself. Lawlessness Was to be a Sign of His Day. “ The falling away” had to “ come first” and then “ the man of sin” would “ be revealed.” The “ gospel of the kingdom” had to be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations,” then the end would come with its “ abomination of desolation.” Jesus has' told us “ beforehand.” He has warned us of the “ false Christs and false prophets.” He said, “ But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” He will come in open glory at the last. God will “ avenge His elect that cry to Him day and night.” “Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?" Very little perhaps, but better days will1come. The Beast and False Prophet will be cast into the lake of fire and Satan, bound with a chain, will be cast into the abyss and for a long, long time the earth shall rejoice and yield her increase. And the earth shall be repopulated and anthems of praise will ascend continuously to the Lamb of God— the “ KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” Any Book Advertised in This Magazine May Be Obtained From Biola Book Room, 536-558 South Hope St., Los Angeles, Calif.

It will “ be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time.” Let no one smile. Who could have dreamed of the wide range of Mohammed’s ravages and the conquering power of his religion? Who would have said that when the flow ers bloomed in the spring of 1914 along the rivers of France, that in the autumn those very rivers and their banks would be gory wiih the blood of the slain? The war is not over. Peace has not yet come. Things» seem to be shaping for some new tragedy. The very despair of the nations, their fear and their needs, are what will throw them into the inviting arms of the coming “ strong man,” the superman, who will promise and assure; who will de ceive and allure; who will beat rebellious nations into a pulp and stage his Satanic millenium with his later false display of divinity. What does the extinction of Christianity in the lands of its birth mean but an age-long preparation? What means the massacre of the Armenians but the elimination of a cumbersome Christian element in the eastern area of the Anti-Christ’s domain? And what means the millions and millions of idolators whom a tardy and selfish church have failed to win to Christ? These are the hosts who will slip
