 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,
and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her,
...and slaves, and souls of men.
that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness!
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth;
for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints,
and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Today men and nations are being tested by the plummet in the hand of Him who makes no mistake. All are by their own choice deciding their destiny, and God is overruling all for the accomplishment of His purposes.
Today the signs of the times declare that we are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in agitation…
The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.
We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecy is fast fulfilling.
...here is soon to open before us a period of overwhelming interest to all living. The controversies of the past are to be revived; new controversies will arise. The scenes to be enacted in our world are not yet even dreamed of. Satan is at work through human agencies. Those who are making an effort to change the Constitution and secure a law enforcing Sunday observance little realize what will be the result. A crisis is just upon us.
Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men... are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails...In the great cities there are multitudes living in poverty and wretchedness, well-nigh destitute of food, shelter, and clothing; while in the same cities are those who have more than heart could wish, who live luxuriously, spending their money on richly furnished houses, on personal adornment, or worse still, upon the gratification of sensual appetites, upon liquor, tobacco, and other things that destroy the powers of the brain, unbalance the mind, and debase the soul. The cries of starving humanity are coming up before God, while by every species of oppression and extortion men are piling up colossal fortunes...Men...by robbery and extortion are amassing great riches...City...buildings rising story after story toward heaven.
Much of the money that they thus invested had been obtained through exaction, through grinding down the poor...There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that underlie the present state of society. Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime. They are struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis...The world is stirred with the spirit of war...The spirit of war is stirring the nations from one end of the earth to the other.
In the world gigantic monopolies will be formed...A few men will combine to grasp all the means to be obtained in certain lines of business.
Men will bind themselves together in unions that will wrap them in the folds of the enemy... Trades unions will be formed, and those who refuse to join these unions will be marked men...The principles governing the forming of these unions seem innocent, but men have to pledge themselves to serve the interests of these unions, or else they may have to pay the penalty of refusal with their lives.
These unions are one of the signs of the last days. Men are binding up in bundles ready to be burned...to belong to these unions means to disregard the entire decalogue.
The trade unions will be one of the agencies that will bring upon this earth a time of trouble such as has not been since the world began.
Those who hold the reins of government…are struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis.
The time was when Protestants placed a high value upon the liberty of conscience which had been so dearly purchased...But how widely different are the sentiments now expressed!
And let it be remembered, it is the boast of Rome that she never changes...And had she but the power, she would put them in practice with as much vigor now as in past centuries
...Rome is aiming to re-establish her power, to recover her lost supremacy...She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is.
Thousands deify nature while they deny the God of nature. Though in a different form, idolatry exists in the Christian world today...The God of many professedly wise men, of philosophers, poets, politicians, journalists—the God of polished fashionable circles, of many colleges and universities, even of some theological institutions—is little better than Baal, the sun-god of Phoenicia.
O that God's people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry!
Courts of justice are corrupt. Rulers are actuated by desire for gain and love of sensual pleasure. Intemperance has beclouded the faculties of many so that Satan has almost complete control of them. Jurists are perverted, bribed, deluded. Drunkenness and revelry, passion, envy, dishonesty of every sort, are represented among those who administer the laws...The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected...Satan is constantly endeavoring to attract attention to man in the place of God. He leads the people to look to bishops, to pastors, to professors of theology, as their guides, instead of searching the Scriptures to learn their duty for themselves...They pass by the Saviour's teachings almost unnoticed, and place implicit confidence in the words of the ministers...We are living in the most solemn period of this world's history. The destiny of earth's teeming multitudes is about to be decided. Our own future well-being and also the salvation of other souls depend upon the course which we now pursue...Events of vital importance are taking place around us; we are on Satan's enchanted ground.
Those who feel called out to join the movement in favour of woman's rights and so called dress reform might as well sever all connection with the third angel's message. The spirit which attends the one cannot be in harmony with the other. The Scriptures are plain upon the relations and rights of men and women.
...no safety in using eggs, milk, cream, or butter, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men...because of the iniquity of the fallen race, the whole animal creation will groan under the diseases that curse our earth.
People are continually eating flesh that is filled with tuberculous and cancerous germs. Tuberculosis, cancer, and other fatal diseases are thus communicated.
...the disease in animals is fast increasing.
...the prevailing pestilence...they would be in danger of being cut down by the pestilence...
What we have seen and heard of the pestilence, is but the beginning of what we shall see and hear. Soon the dead and dying will be all around us. I saw that some will be so hardened, as to even make sport of the judgments of God. Then the slain of the Lord will be from one end of the earth, to the other; they will not be lamented, gathered, nor buried; but their ill savor will come up from the face of the whole earth.. the storm of wrath, that will soon fall on the heads of those who have rejected the truth.
But spiritualism, which numbers its converts by hundreds of thousands, yea, by millions, which has made its way into scientific circles, which has invaded churches, and has found favor in legislative bodies, and even in the courts of kings—this mammoth deception is but a revival, in a new disguise, of the witchcraft condemned and prohibited of old...It is...now changing its form and, veiling some of its more objectionable features, is assuming a Christian guise.
In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms,...sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow...to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These...are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars...For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage...And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
...fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
...distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
You know Who is our only safety at this time.
