“NONE SHALL HELP HIM.”

By W. C. G.

More than two thousand years ago, an inspired prophet of the Lord uttered against a power which should “magnify himself above every god,” the following prediction: “Yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him.” Dan. xi, 45. As the seal was removed from the book of Daniel, and knowledge on the prophecies increased, it became evident that the power here referred to could be none other than the Papacy, and the careful student of prophecy has been watching with eager interest the events which mark the fulfillment of this prediction.

The close observer cannot fail to see that the temporal power of the Papacy is steadily but surely crumbling away. The troubled state of things which exists in Europe is causing those which have lent it their support to withdraw their countenance from it, to attend wholly to their own affairs, as self-preservation is the first law of Governments.

The following will be of interest to those who are interested in the event which is to immediately follow the entire desertion of the Papal power by the governments of earth, i. e., the deliverance of God's people when Michael shall stand up. W. C. G.
