' City News ARE NUMBERED Said Evangelist at the Cotton Tabernacle; Only Matter ' of Few Years. WILL BE SWEPT OUT OF EUROPE INTO PALESTINE Second Coming of Christ to Be Preceded By Armageddon, 30 Miles North of Jerusalem, "Turkey is an intruder in Euiupe. In his religion, hit politict, hit race. he is oriental. But his days are num bered and hit death will usher in Ar mageddon which is followed by the second coming of Christ," said Evan- ?!ist Meikctjohn last nisht at 'the Cotton Tabernacle, corner Seventh nd Ferry streets, in his lecture on What Happens When Turkey Falls." The speaker introduced his subject by a study from the eleventh chapter of Daniel. .Reading the first three' verses the speaker said in part: "This prophecy was given in the first year -f Cyrus as well as Darius for they uled together. The next three kings vers Cambyses, Smerdis, and Darius. Following them came the fourth king hich "stirred all against the realm of Grecia." Xerxes. The mighty king hat ruled was Alexander the Great. Upon his death his kingdom was di vided to his four generals after some lighting. And later it was ruled by only two," Ptolemy had - Africa and Selecus had JVileine. ani1 the north ern 4aA Of the.dominiorl. Whoever rule, in that territory is the king' of h ncnTTurlisiy, now- ! -there, hence he is the' king of the nortH. "' Attentidn was then called to the last part of the chapter beginning with the 36th verse and on to the 39th. It vas clearly pointed out that the pow er spoken of in these verses is France. Verset 40-50 were then read, after xhich the speaker said, "The period known as the "time of the end" began in 1798. And at that time Napoleon went down into Egypt and Egypt the king of the south merely putti ed at him. But Turkey the king of he north, went against Napoleon with such fury and support tllat the reat conqueror had to beat a re treat. The Turk held the 'glorious land' Palestine, and Egypt did not escape. AnJ troubles "out of the iast" Persia and "out of the north" Russia, did trouble the Turk ibout 1853 and brought on the terri ble Crimean war. But Turkey will :ventually place his palace between he seas in the glorious Holy moun ain Jerusalem, "yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him." Other prophesies were then read showing the same thought. Joe 13:9 13 says that the . nations will gather in the valley or Jehoshophat, near Je rusalem where God judges them. Ejek. 38:14-23 shows that in the latter days the nations shall go against the land of Israel or Palestine. Following this comes Armageddon. Rev. 16:12 16 shows that the river Euphrates is dried up to make away for the kings of the east.. Thus Turkey cer.set to exist in Europea and Asia, and the nations go up to Palestine and fight the battle of Armageddon. Then Pan. 11:45 says that he is to conic to hit end, and Dan. 12:1 tays that at that time Michael Christ shall stand up and take the kingdom, which is the coming of Christ. Special musk was given and greatly enjoyed. The tubject announced for tonight is "30 Other - Reasons Wliy We Must Believe Christ is Soon to Come." These reasons will be given ifrom the Bible.
