Wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, are yet to come. Nothing is left out of the Blue Print that needs to be given to the chil- , dren of men. All facts, all details, all promises, all warnings, all exhorta tions, all pleadings, are there. Pity the poor devil-dupes who are seeking to deceive the people and destroy their faith. It is written: 9 “ Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together; who hath declared this from ancient times? who hath told it from that time? have not I the*f iS/Tn° God else beside m« ; » just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.” (Isa. 45:21.)
