The Lord bus seen tit to associate the
name Armageddon, with the great con

with which this Age will close, perish
and tile New Age of Messiah’s glory

highly symbolical figures of speech in
the Iasi book of the Bible, evidently
with a view to hiding certain lrnpor

the Bible assures us, “ None of the

In some particulars my

Knch bearer must use his

Kindly remember that 1 am not re j

Our context tells us that three im

from the mouths of the Dragon, the
Beast and the False Prophet, and these
three will be in accord, and symbolical
ly the doctrines are represented by
“ frogs ” These three doctrines are to
have a mighty influence throughout the
civilized earth
They are to gather
the kings and their armies to the great
Battle of Armageddon.
The ecclesiastical kings and princes,
and their retinues of clergy and faith

j turned back ward and medieval ro-
Htrainta will t>e considered necessary
| for self preservation for the mainte
nance of the present order of things,
In giving this Interpretation, it Is
n »»pessary for os to indicate what Is
symbolised by the Dragon, the Beast,
and the False Prophet. Bible students
of nearly all denominations agree with
us that the “ Dragon” of Revelation
represent* the purely Civil Power
Protestuut Interpreters generally agree
that tlie “ Beast like a leopard” «Here
lati«>ii i111. *>: represents the Papacy
But fewer still, we fear, will be ready
to support our view that Protestantism
is the “ Image of the Beast” (Revelation
xill, 18) in our context given another
name, “ the False Prophet.” We urge
tio one to accept our Interpretation
nor shall we think hard of any who
refuse It. We will neither slander nor
otherwise Injure them now. nor threat
en them with eternal torture. Tho\
have the same right to their views that
1 have, and the same right to make
them known to others. And 1. for
one. will be very glad to consider any
thing which opponents may sot fortli
as their Interpretations of our text.
“ Unclean Spirits Like Frogs.”
The symbolisms of Scripture, right
ly understood, are always forceful
When the Holy Spirit used a “ frog'
to
symbolically
represent
certain
doctrines or teachings, we may be
sure the true application will tit well
A frog has u sage look, a wise look
It swells itself up in an apparent en
deavor to Impress the beholder, its
great mouth well represents its chief
power, used to croak.
Applying these symbols, we learn
that an evil spirit. Influence, teaching
will come from the Protestant churches
federated, from the Church of Rome
and from the Civil authorities, all In
full agreement. The spirit of all wib
be boastful; an air of superior wisdom
and knowledge will be proudly assum
ed—all will croak in harmony All vvil
fell of dire results that would follow
involving the interests of both the
present und the future life. If the!»
counsel be not followed However con
Dieting the creeds, the differences wib
tie ignored in the general proposition
that nothing ancient must he disturb
ed. or looked Into, or repudiated
The Divine authority of the Church
and the Divine right of kings, aside
from the Church, will not be allowed
to conflict. Any persons or teachings
in conflict with these boastful and un
scriptural claims will be branded as
everything rile, at the mouths of these
“ frogs" speaking from pulpits and
platforms and through the religious
and secular press The nobler sent)
incuts of some will be strangled by the
philosophy of the same evil spirit
which spoke through Calapluis. the
high priest, respecting Jesus. As Cal«
plias declared it expedient to commit
a crime in violation of justice, human
and Divine, to be rid of Jesus and His
teachings, so tills “frog" spirit will ap
prove of every violation of principle
necessary to their self-protection
The croaking of these “ frog’’ spirits or
doctrines will gather the kings and
princes, financial, political, religious
and industrial into one great arm>
The spirit of fear, inspired by the
croaklngs of these “ frogs,” will scourge
the passions of otherwise good and
reasonable men to fury, desperation
In their blind following of these evil
spirits, evil doctrines, they will be
ready to sacrifice life and everything
on the altar of what they mistakenly
suppose is Justice, truth and righteous
ness, under a Divine arrangement.
For a brief time, as we understand
the Scriptures, these combined forces
of Armageddon will triumph.
Free
speech, free mails, and other liberties
which have come to be the very breath
of the masses in our day, will be ruth
lessly shut off under the plea of neces
sity. the glory of God, the commands
of the Church, etc. All will seem to be
serene, until the great social explosion
in our context described as the “ great
Earthquake.”
An “ earthquake.” in
symbolic language, signifies social
revolution, and the declaration of the
context Is that none like unto It evei
before occurred. (Revelation xvi. 18
10.) Jesus described it as a time ol
trouble such as never was since there
was a nation. -Matthew xxlv, 21.
The Lord Will Gather Them.
The false, frog-like teachings wll.
gather together into one host the great
the rich, the wise, the learned and the
kings of the earth, to battle. At this
juncture Divine Bower will step for
ward. and our text tells us that II t-
shall gather the marshaled hosts to
Armageddon—to the Mountain of De
struction The very thing which they
sought to avert by their union, federn
tiou, etc., will be the very thing they
will hasten Other Scriptures tell us
that God will be represented by the
Great Messiah, and that lie will be on
the side of the masses. Thus we read
in Daniel xii. 1; “ At that time shall
Michael ithe Godlike One—Messiah]
stand up” —assume authority He will
take possession of His Kingdom in a
manner little looked for by many of
those who erroneously have been
claiming that they were His Kingdom,
and authorized by Him to reign in His
name and In His stead.
Jesus declared. “ Ills servants ye are
unto whom ye render service.” Some
may be rendering service to Satan and
to error, who claim to be rendering
service to God and to rtghteousne*#
and some of these may be serving ig
norantly, ns did Saul of Tarsus, who
“ verily thought that be did God u son-
ice” in persecuting the Church
Tin-
same principle holds true reversely
.Ls an earthly king does not hold him
self responsible for the moral character
of each soldier who fights in his bat
ties, so the Lord does not vouch for the
moral character or all who will enlist
: ! fight on His -¡de o f any question j
” IIis servants they are to whom they
render set*'ice,’’ whatever the motiv»-
or object prompting them
The same principles will apply In the
'•omlng Battle ot Armageddon God’s
side of that battle will Is- the people’*
side, and the very nondescript host
the people, will l** pitted at the begin-
nli-u of the battle. Anarchists, Social
and hot-headed radicals of every
