Notes and Queries.

To JULIA E. GREEN: Please forward to us one or more of the “exchange lists” you speak of, and we shall be able to answer your question.
QUESTION. Did not the Man of Sin receive his death blow in 1798, and must there not, therefore, arise another (Spiritualism), to be destroyed at Christ’s coming? H. B.
ANSWER. If the Man of Sin received a death blow in 1798, that fact is shown in prophecy in Rev. xiii, 3, where this antichrist power is represented by “the beast.” But the same scripture informs us that the “deadly wound was healed;” also that the two-horned beast works miracles in the sight of “the beast which had the wound by the sword and did live.” This “deadly wound,” which you term a “death blow,” did not destroy the Man of Sin; it was healed so that he still did live, and will, to the coming of the Lord. J. H. W.
