JANUARY 3, 1918 .3 PAGE 8 CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL War to End That Is to Say, the Power of the Beast Is to Be Overcome la Forty two Months The great mystery of the most occult book of the Bible is the verse in Revelation re lating to the Beast and his number, 666. A comprehen sive study of this verse, this number and the relation of combinations of this number to the present world war, the German Empire and the German Kaiser, would seem t establish without a doubt the identity of the Beast as the German Kaiser, and the num ber 666 as being prophetic of his character and acts. And furthermore, it is established from this verse that forty-two months is to be the duration of tie war, which will bring to an end the power of the Beast in January. Democracy nd Civilization.

There are 9 Arabic numerals, of which 9 is the Kaiserism. ' Astounding Revelation. Destruction of Prussianism. Kghest. By adding the nine numerals together tbe result is 45. and the ad dition of tbe 4 and 5 in the 43 is 9. There are twenty-six letters tn the al phabet from A-l to Z 26. and each letter las a number corresponding to Us po sition tn tbe alphabet In otber words, aach letter has a numerical representa tion. For example, tbe letter B Is rep seeented by No. 2, H by No. 8, L by So. 12, each lettw in the alphabet nav feg its corresponding number. The tarn of all the letter tn tbe alphabet is. mely. the numerical representation when all the twenty-six letters are add ed together is 351. and tbe addition a 3, 5 and 1 to the 351 produces 9. which is the highest Arabic numeral, and tbe multiplication of 3, 5 and 1 produces 15, and tbe addition of 1 and ft in the 15 produces 8. Thus it is tj addition or multiplication or both 'where not already specified tbat the re sults are obtained from tbe narrative that herein follows: Tbe correlation of the Arabic numerals and tbe alpha vet is to verify tbe interpretation of the prophecy In the Holy Bible in re lation to the dates, periods and num bers bearing upon events of funda mental importance in tbe history of the world, the continuation of Chris tianity and civilization. The discovery by employment of tbe iighest Arabic numeral with the nu merical representation of the alpha let and the figure 6 in interpreta tion of certain chapters in tbe book of Xevelation defines how to correlate graphically momentous events In tbe Boli Bible with those relative to tbe ttennaa empire and the entry of tbe United States into the world war. ' By an analysis of tbe figures, num bers and phrases relating to tbe de scription of tbe last prophetic narra tive in tbe Holy Bible and by applica tion ef the result of such analysis to sertaia marked events in tbe present pocb there are at once revealed a se bps of reciprocal relations and colncl isVnces which In extent and analogy sVnote tbe revelation, amazing and as Vuindiiig though it may be, tbat con "Cfcmporary history is tbe period de icribed in tbe book of Revelation and tsfcat tbe Prussian masters of tbe Ger man empire, through the spiritual Hndness of the German people, are asponsible for the most wicked and smalllng catastrophe in tbe Christian rra. "And there was given unto him a woutb speaking great things and blas phemies" (Revelation iiii, 5). "Look-Sss- on- myself as God's Instrument, 1 stall go my way without regard to the Sicas and opinions of the times." (Kai ser William II.. Aug. 25, 1910, at Koe aigsberg). "Tbe king of Prussia or St German emperor must always be at a position to say to any lieutenant. Take ten men wltb you and close tie relcbstag.' " (Oldenburg Januschau, speaking for bis master, tbe kaiser). The interpretation herein does not in trude an examination into conditions which connect tbe acts of tbe Roman tasters of tbe German race at tbe fe wo of Christianity with tbe German people of today. The indelible stigma apon, tbe German Legion through tbelr failure to protest at the decision of rcntius Pilate and by reason of their jprfarmance of the act of crucifixion r Jesus Christ attained its apotheosis these later years.
