NULLIFYING ROME'S INFLUENCES
By Editor
THERE are several publications, with quite a wide circulation, that are working, as they affirm, to destroy the influence and power of the papal hierarchy. There are several organizations that are working toward the same end for which these publications are printed and sent out. In one of these recent publications, we find the statement: “The people are getting tired of Rome rule. They are getting tired of your great claims, boasts, intrigues, plots, schemes, and conspiracies against religion and political freedom.” No doubt there are many people who will voice the sentiment expressed in this quotation. But ultimately, and before a great while, too, the whole world will swing, with some very insignificant exceptions, so far as numbers are concerned, under the power of the papal church. The papal power once dominated the world, and the prophecies point out that her domination will be yet again more complete than anything that she ever enjoyed during the darkest of the Middle Ages. We do not call attention to these prophecies to suggest the slackening of the efforts of any of those who may feel called upon to oppose the power of the Roman Church, but we would like to interest all believers in the Bible in studying these prophecies that foretell the world-wide restoration of the papacy.
