"Send Them Strong Delusions."
St. I'mil wrote prophetically of our
time, that It would bo one of serious
trial nnd testing to many professing to
bo Christ la ns. The reason for this he
HlnleH-tliey received not tho Truth In
tho lovo of It. (II Thessnloiilans II, Id,
11.) 'I'hey preferred Ihelr own errone
ous theories, the Apostle explains, nml
therefore Cod will glvo them over to a
'(Strong delusion," nnd lei thein believe
the lie which thoy preferred, ami let
Ihem Hitffer for missing the Truth
which they did not love. Thus they
will bo In Ihe coiideinned host, "light
ing iignlnst I mhI," because of their lack
of love fur Iho Truth.
It Is sad lo say that, we nil as Chris
tians have been laboring under a. thor
ough delusion respecting Cod's flan.
W'o have claimed that Christ set up
Ills Church In Kingdom power, and
that, the Church has been reigning on
the earth ns His reprosonlalivo. On
the strength of this delusion, .lows ami
hert'lh-H have been perseciiled to ileal Ii
as opponents to Christ's Kingdom. All
the while wo thoughtlessly repeated
Iho Lord's prayer: "Thy Kingdom
come; Thy will be done on earth, as In
Heaven." We knew that the Itetleemer
said Ihat lie would collie again to
make us Ills llrldo nnd Jolut-belrs: but
we Ignored the Scriptures. Wo were
drunk, ns Hie Scriptures symbolically
say, "all nallons were drunk" with the
false doctrine. It Is this false doctrine
that will cotiKlltute the "frog" Hplrlt
which Hoon will begin to croak and to
prepare for Ariiingeddon.
The Illblo presentation is that the
world Is n section of the mil verso In
rebellion ngnlnst I ilvlne authority, un
der the captaincy of Sntnn nud his ns-
aoclatod fallen angola. Hy Divine grace
Josiih has already "tasted death for
every man," nnd tho merit of that nnr
rlllce must, eventually, grant Adam and
his posterity a full, fair opportunity
for the attainment of everlasting life.
All xvho thus seek tho Divine program

Homothlni at lenst respecting the "times
nnd seasons." These brethren "are
not In darkness, that that day (and
that battle of Ariiingeddon) ahould

For forty years tho Armageddon
