Christ to Come After This War

It is rather striking that a prediction of Christ's soon coming should have been made recently at a meeting of the Theosophical Society, in Washington, D. C. We quote from the Washington Herald of October 25:—

“Christ will probably appear among men at the close of this horrible war in Europe, and give additional teachings fitted to the new era into which we are just entering,” said Dr. W. W. Baker, presiding at the meeting of the Theosophical Society, at 1216 H Street Northwest, last night.

Dr. Baker stated that Mrs. Besant, president of the society, has been predicting for several years that Christ would soon return among men, and that only last December she announced publicly, “He cometh quickly.”

The Scriptures teach that Christ will come soon, yet not in the manner in which the Theosophists expect him. It is not necessary that he come to “give additional teachings,” but that he may end the reign of sin and establish God's eternal kingdom on earth.
